Significant deposits of metal-rich minerals are known to exist on the deep-ocean floor, in some instances exceeding global land-based resources. In recent years, advances in understanding and technology coupled with an evolving regulatory regime have resulted in growing interest in mining these deposits.
Deep-Ocean Mineral Deposits
October 2018, Vol. 14, No. 5
Significant deposits of metal-rich minerals are known to exist on the deep-ocean floor, in some instances exceeding global land-based resources. In recent years, advances in understanding and technology coupled with an evolving regulatory regime have resulted in growing interest in mining these deposits. However, assessing the potential and challenges of exploitation is hindered by our relatively poor knowledge of this vast and inaccessible environment. This issue introduces the reader to the deep-ocean mineral deposits that are attracting most interest, describing genetic models for their formation and future research challenges, including the possible role of microbes in concentrating metals. It examines the potential for the low-carbon extraction of metals from these novel deposits, and provide readers with a better understanding of the host of environmental, social, economic, political and legal challenges that need to be addressed for the sustainable development of these resources.

Fluids in Planetary Systems, January 2005, Vol. 1, No. 1
$20.00Water and other geofluids play an important role in the geochemical and rheological evolution of the Earth and other bodies in the solar system. These fluids are responsible for the formation of hydrothermal mineral deposits, affect eruption behavior in volcanic systems and the geophysical properties of the mantle, and significantly affect the way in which rocks deform and fracture.

Supervolcanoes, February 2008, Vol. 4, No. 1
$20.00Explosive super-eruptions from large volume, shallow magma systems lead to enormous and devastating pyroclastic flows, the formation of gigantic collapse calderas, and deposition of volcanic ash over continent-sized areas. Recognition that future eruptions from these “supervolcanoes” will undoubtedly have severe impacts on society—and perhaps on life itself—has led to recent public and media interest.
