Rare Earth Elements, October 2012, Vol. 8, No. 5
$20.00
Rare earth–based materials have practical applications in transportation, renew able energy, medicine, household items, visual arts, forensic science, and defense, and thus are essential to the progress of humankind. The rapid development and implementation of innovative and green technologies in the past decade have resulted in greatly increased demand for rare earth elements (REE).

October 2012, Vol. 8, No. 5
Rare earth–based materials have practical applications in transportation, renew able energy, medicine, household items, visual arts, forensic science, and defense, and thus are essential to the progress of humankind. The rapid development and implementation of innovative and green technologies in the past decade have resulted in greatly increased demand for rare earth elements (REE). This demand has been amplified by the current situation in the supply market and by growing public concern about unlawful or unethical extraction of certain rare metal resources. The renewed interest in rare earth resources in the exploration and public sectors requires a much better understanding of these resources and their host rocks than currently available. This thematic issue presents a comprehensive overview of the key geological, geochemical, and mineralogical aspects of REE distribution in the crust and principal deposit types. It also discusses economic, political, and environmental issues related to REE mining.

Medical Mineralogy And Geochemistry, December 2007, Vol. 3, No. 6
$20.00Medical mineralogy and geochemistry is an emergent, highly interdisciplinary field concerned with both normal and pathological interactions between minerals or amorphous inorganic solids and biomolecules or cells within the human body, and the transport and fate of prions and protein toxins in the soil environment. Prior research has, appropriately, focused on the complex genetic and molecular biological aspects, but there is a growing recognition of the vital need for understanding the surface and bulk properties and reactivities, especially at the challenging nanoscale characteristic of biomacromolecules and biominerals.

Carbon Dioxide Sequestration, October 2008, Vol. 4, No. 5
$20.00Storage of carbon in the subsurface involves introduction of supercritical CO2 into rock formations beneath the surface of the Earth, typically at depths of 1000 to 4000 meters. Although CO2 is a relatively benign substance, the volume being considered is large.

Arsenic, April 2006, Vol. 2, No. 2
$20.00Arsenic is an element known throughout history as a classic poison. Currently, very small but highly significant concentrations of this element in drinking water supplies are causing massive health problems to many millions of people in some of the world’s poorest nations, and more localised sources related to mining and processing are also a concern.
