Fluids in Planetary Systems

January 2005, Vol. 1, No. 1

Water 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. Water is required for life to develop and survive, and the search for life beyond Earth defaults to a search for water in the solar system. In this inaugural issue of Elements, current knowledge concerning the distribution and role of water in diverse geological processes and environments is considered.

Diamonds

March 2005, Vol. 1, No. 2

Diamond, the fascinating ultrahard mineral, is the focus of considerable interest and scientific research. Recent advances particularly relevant to geoscientists include: diamond as a recorder of Earth processes from the perspective of inclusions, chemistry, and conditions of formation; synthesis for research applications and processing to modify color and physical properties, important to diamond gems and anvils; the implications of nanodiamonds from meteorites.

Genesis: Rocks, Minerals, And The Geochemical Origin Of Life

June 2005, Vol. 1, No. 3

Few scientific questions so capture the public imagination, or provoke such lively debate, as how life on Earth emerged. In this issue of Elements, four of the most creative minds in origins research present their original insights on the geochemical origins of life. Each author has studied the field in depth, and each has come to an inescapable conclusion: rocks and minerals must have played a pivotal role in the transition from the blasted, prebiotic Earth to the living world we now inhabit. Rocks and minerals catalyzed the synthesis of key biomolecules; they selected, protected and concentrated those molecules; they jump-started metabolism; and they may even have acted as life’s first genetic system.

Toxic Metals In The Environment: The Role Of Surfaces, September 2005, Vol. 1, No. 4

Toxic Metals In The Environment: The Role Of Surfaces

September 2005, Vol. 1, No. 4

Metals are prevalent in the environment. They are derived from both natural and anthropogenic sources. Certain metals are essential for plant growth and for animal and human health. However, at excessive levels they are toxic. Metals undergo an array of processes, including sorption/desorption, precipitation/dissolution, and oxidation/ reduction, with reactive natural surfaces such as clay minerals, metal oxides, humic substances, plant roots, and microbes. These biogeochemical processes control the solubility, mobility, bioavailability, and toxicity of the metals. This issue of Elements explores research frontiers in the areas of metal mobility and reaction mechanisms on natural surfaces. These advances are explored at multiple scales, using state-of-the-art analytical techniques.

Large Igneous Provinces: Origin And Environmental Consequences, December 2005, Vol. 1, No. 5

Large Igneous Provinces: Origin And Environmental Consequences

December 2005, Vol. 1, No. 5

Large igneous provinces record major outpourings of igneous rocks, both on the continents and in ocean basins. Their origin is still vigorously disputed, with models invoking mantle plumes, thermal effects of the lithosphere, and meteorite impacts. The environmental consequences are also hotly debated: some argue that voluminous flood basalt volcanism triggered catastrophic changes to the global climate and mass extinctions, whereas others believe their effects to be much less significant. Six contributions by experts in their respective fields outline the various models for the formation of LIPs and summarise the ideas about the environmental consequences of such massive and prolonged volcanism.
