Rock And Mineral Coatings, June 2017, Vol. 13, No. 3
$20.00
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.
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.

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.
