Mineral Magnetism: From Microbes To Meteorites
August 2009, Vol. 5, No. 4
Magnetic minerals are ubiquitous in the natural environment. They are also present in a wide range of biological organisms, from bacteria to human beings. These minerals carry a wealth of information encoded in their magnetic properties. Mineral magnetism decodes this information and applies it to an ever increasing range of geoscience problems, from the origin of magnetic anomalies on Mars to quantifying variations in Earth’s paleoclimate. The last ten years have seen a striking improvement in our ability to detect and image, with higher and higher resolution, the magnetization of minerals in geological and biological samples. This issue is devoted to some of the most exciting recent developments in mineral magnetism and their applications to Earth and environmental sciences, astrophysics, and biology.

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.
