Sustainable Remediation Of Soils, December 2010, Vol. 6, No. 6
$20.00Humanity requires healthy soil in order to flourish. Soil is central to food production, regulation of greenhouse gases, and provision of amenity.

Thermodynamics Of Earth Systems, October 2010, Vol. 6, No. 5
$20.00During the past decades, thermodynamics has become an essential tool for understanding fundamental processes that have determined the structure and evolution of our planet. From the atmosphere to the ocean and sediments, from metamorphic terranes to magmatic provinces, the lower mantle, and the core, this issue of Elements illustrates how a better understanding of the manner in which free energy depends on temperature, pressure, and chemical composition allows the Earth’s activity to be better deciphered.

Atmospheric Particles, August 2010, Vol. 6, No. 4
$20.00Solid atmospheric particles range in size from a few nanometers to several micrometers and are generated through both natural processes and human activity. Even though these particles are derived from spatially limited source areas and typically become airborne during short-term events, they are ubiquitous globally due to atmospheric circulation.

Fluids In Metamorphism, June 2010, Vol. 6, No. 3
$20.00Fluids play a critical role during metamorphic processes. They have first-order influence on both reaction kinetics and mass transfer, and thus also on the rate of metamorphism.

Sulfur, April 2010, Vol. 6, No. 2
$20.00This issue of Elements focuses on the geochemistry of sulfur in high-temperature, low-temperature, and biogenically mediated processes over a wide range of scales, environments, and time intervals. Sulfur’s multiple valence states (S2to S6+) allow for its participation in a large variety of geochemical and biogeochemical processes.

Mineral Evolution, February 2010, Vol. 6, No. 1
$20.00“Mineral evolution,” the study of Earth’s changing near-surface mineralogy, frames Earth materials research with a historical narrative. This 4.
