Central Andes: Mountains, Magmas, And Minerals, August 2018, Vol. 14, No. 4
$20.00The Central Andes in South America are a first-order geological structure on our planet of an active continental margin. The link between subduction-related magmatism and processes and timing of uplift and volcanism shaped the Andean Cordillera and provides unique examples of the andesite magma generation during passage through thickened crust.

Luminescence Dating: Reconstructing Earth’s Recent History, February 2018, Vol. 14, No. 1
$20.00Luminescence dating is a geochronological tool used to determine the timing of sediment burial, pottery firing, mountain evolution, mineral formation and the exertion of pressure. The luminescence dating technique covers a large age range from modern-day to hundreds of thousands of years using conventional methods, or even up to millions of years according to recent developments.
