Iron In Earth Surface Systems, April 2011, Vol. 7, No. 2
$20.00
Iron is the fourth most abundant element at the Earth’s surface. As an essential nutrient and electron source/sink for the growth of microbial organisms, it is metabolically cycled between reduced and oxidized chemical forms.
Iron In Earth Surface Systems
April 2011, Vol. 7, No. 2
Iron is the fourth most abundant element at the Earth’s surface. As an essential nutrient and electron source/sink for the growth of microbial organisms, it is metabolically cycled between reduced and oxidized chemical forms. This flow of electrons is invariably tied to the reaction with other redox-sensitive elements, including oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur. The end result of these interactions is that iron is intimately involved in the geochemistry, mineralogy, and petrology of modern aquatic systems and their associated sediments, particulates, and pore waters. In the geological past, vast iron sediments, the so-called banded iron formations, suggest that iron played an even greater role in marine geochemistry, and these deposits are now being used as proxies for understanding the chemical composition of the ancient oceans and atmosphere. This issue explores not only the modern expression of iron cycling but also its record in Earth’s history.

The Nuclear Fuel Cycle – Environmental Aspects, December 2006, Vol. 2, No. 6
$20.00Increasing concerns for the effects of global warming that result from rising greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere have led to a reexamination, even enthusiasm, for nuclear power. Of all the current alternatives to fossil fuels, nuclear fission is the most important source of energy, accounting for 17 percent of the world’s electricity.

Medical Mineralogy And Geochemistry, December 2007, Vol. 3, No. 6
$20.00Medical mineralogy and geochemistry is an emergent, highly interdisciplinary field concerned with both normal and pathological interactions between minerals or amorphous inorganic solids and biomolecules or cells within the human body, and the transport and fate of prions and protein toxins in the soil environment. Prior research has, appropriately, focused on the complex genetic and molecular biological aspects, but there is a growing recognition of the vital need for understanding the surface and bulk properties and reactivities, especially at the challenging nanoscale characteristic of biomacromolecules and biominerals.
