Layered Intrusions, December 2017, Vol. 13, No. 6
$20.00For more than 50 years, layered mafic-ultramafic intrusions have served as natural laboratories for studying magma chamber processes and magmatic differentiation. Further enhancing our understanding of layered intrusion formation will yield valuable insights into the solidification of magmatic systems, the formation of precious metal deposits, and the timescales over which substantial crust-forming episodes occur.

Rock And Mineral Coatings, June 2017, Vol. 13, No. 3
$20.00Chemical and/or biological processes can produce coatings on the surfaces of rocks and minerals. These coatings form at the interface between the lithosphere, biosphere, and atmosphere in a diverse range of environments, such as common soils, deserts, volcanic weathering environments, smelter-impacted areas, Antarctica and glaciated environments, and have even been found on Mars.

Sulphides, April 2017, Vol. 13, No. 2
$20.00Despite the bulk silicate Earth only containing 250 parts per million of sulphur, sulphide minerals and liquids have a powerful impact on the behaviour and fractionation of a wide range of elements in the Earth’s crust and underlying mantle. According to the V.

Volcanoes: From Mantle To Surface, February 2017, Vol. 13, No. 1
$20.00Volcanoes have played a large role over Earth’s history in building the crust, contributing to atmospheric formation, and transferring heat and mass from the interior to the surface. They are also capable of massive disruption of the surface environment and to human civilizations.
