Metamorphic Duality in SW Japan—The Sanbagawa-Ryoke Classic Example of Paired Metamorphism, April 2024, Vol. 20, No. 2
$20.00
Subduction, where one plate dives beneath another, controls longterm wholeEarth cycling of rocks, fluids and energy. Plates subduct faster than they heat up, making them the coldest parts of the Earth’s interior.
Metamorphic Duality in SW Japan—The Sanbagawa-Ryoke Classic Example of Paired Metamorphism
April 2024, Vol. 20, No. 2
Subduction, where one plate dives beneath another, controls longterm wholeEarth cycling of rocks, fluids and energy. Plates subduct faster than they heat up, making them the coldest parts of the Earth’s interior. Fluids released from these cold plates rise into hotter overlying rocks forming magma that feeds surface volcanism. Cold deep conditions associated with subduction complemented by hot shallow conditions under volcanic arcs are reflected in the presence of pairs of metamorphic belts representing sites of ancient subduction—the Cretaceous SanbagawaRyoke metamorphic pair of Japan is a premier example. Estimates of pressure, temperature, the age and duration of metamorphism, and the tectonic framework in which metamorphism took place help us develop quantitative models both for the evolution of SW Japan and subduction systems in general.

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.
