This thematic issue covers some of the most exciting advances in ophiolite science. Focus is directed toward ophiolite classification during the formation and destruction of ocean basins; the mineralogy, petrology, and isotope geochemistry of ophiolites; and the trace element behavior of crustal and upper-mantle units in ophiolites.
Ophiolites
April 2014, Vol. 10, No. 2
This thematic issue covers some of the most exciting advances in ophiolite science. Focus is directed toward ophiolite classification during the formation and destruction of ocean basins; the mineralogy, petrology, and isotope geochemistry of ophiolites; and the trace element behavior of crustal and upper-mantle units in ophiolites. The issue covers the history of origin, the geochemical and petrological development, and the final emplacement of one of the largest and most studied ophiolites, the classical Semail ophiolite in Oman. Further, for a better understanding of ophiolites in relation to subduction processes, one of the papers deals with the lithological and geochemical development of the Izu-Bonin-Mariana forearc crust as a modern analogue. Finally, the issue presents some of the new and exciting aspects of microbial interaction with the volcanic component of oceanic crust, as observed in ophiolites as old as the young Earth.

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.

Arsenic, April 2006, Vol. 2, No. 2
$20.00Arsenic is an element known throughout history as a classic poison. Currently, very small but highly significant concentrations of this element in drinking water supplies are causing massive health problems to many millions of people in some of the world’s poorest nations, and more localised sources related to mining and processing are also a concern.

Zircon – Tiny But Timely, February 2007, Vol. 3, No. 1
$20.00Where would Earth science be without zircon? As Earth’s timekeeper, zircon has proven to be a remarkable and versatile mineral, providing insights into deep time and ancient Earth processes. However, there is still much to learn about Earth’s history from zircon and its behaviour.
