Mineral Resources And Sustainable Development

October 2017, Vol. 13, No. 5

Mineral resources are a vital part of any economy, modern or ancient. Since the birth of civilization, man has used these resources for pigments, metals, glasses, ceramics, cements and much more. The media has recently suggested there is a crisis looming over finding mineral resources, including critical metals. Centered on the sustainability of mineral resources, themes addressed in this issue include customer–supplier relationships, exploration, recycling and the circular economy, and environmental postmining impacts. The broad range of topics embraced by this issue – formation of mineral deposits, minerals engineering, and environmental and societal impacts – provides readers a better understanding of the largescale economic, historical and educational aspects of mineral resources.

Layered Intrusions

December 2017, Vol. 13, No. 6

For 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. The aims of this issue of Elements are to offer an overview of the state-of-the-art in the petrology of layered intrusions today and a look forward to the future challenges in the field.

Volcanoes: From Mantle To Surface, February 2017, Vol. 13, No. 1

Volcanoes: From Mantle To Surface

February 2017, Vol. 13, No. 1

Volcanoes 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. Volcanoes themselves are the products of crustal-scale systems. But what controls whether a given magma will erupt or stall, and how do processes in one part of the system affect others? Volcano science is advancing rapidly, and improvements in monitoring tools, petrologic tools, and modeling of volcanic processes have greatly improved our understanding of volcanic behavior. This issue brings together contributions exploring volcanic behavior throughout the crustal system.

Sulphides

April 2017, Vol. 13, No. 2

Despite 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. M. Goldschmidt classification, in the periodic table there are 18 chalcophile elements that have affinity for sulphur and form sulphides. Besides the chalcophile elements, a large number of siderophile elements are also found in nature in association with sulphides. This issue focuses on the broad topics of magmatic and volcanogenic sulphide deposits, the behaviour of sulphides during mantle melting and volcanism, and the mineralogy of sulphides and sedimentary sulphides and their role in the early development of the biosphere.

Rock And Mineral Coatings

June 2017, Vol. 13, No. 3

Chemical 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. Coatings on rocks and minerals can range from the nano to the centimeter scale and are information packed on different scales. They provide fascinating records of the biological, geochemical, and environmental conditions present during coating development. Through the study of these coatings, scientists are uncovering important details about climate and environmental changes, temperature variations in the world’s oceans, and so much more. This issue introduces the reader to how these coatings form, how they react with their environment, and a few of the fascinating records that can be deciphered from them.

Boron: Light And Lively

August 2017, Vol. 13, No. 4

Fifth in the periodic table, boron is a “light” element whose origin has puzzled astronomers because it is not created in stars. It is “lively”, being an essential element for plants, and having medicinal proper ties, which has stimulated synthesis of organic compounds containing boron. Borates such as colemanite are thought by some to have stabilized ribose, an essential component of ribonucleic acid and critical for the self-assembly of prebiotic organic compounds to constitute life; others have proposed that ribose was stabilized by borate in solution. Boron isotopes provide insight on the processes responsible for the creation of continental crust, and act as a proxy for paleoclimate. Extreme concentrations of boron result in economic evaporitic deposits, and, thus, watersoluble boron minerals, notably borax, have been among the most accessible of useful compounds to humankind, even in antiquity.
