Serpentinites, April 2013, Vol. 9, No. 2
$20.00
Serpentinites, primarily composed of serpentine minerals and formed by hydration of peridotites, increasingly attract the attention of a wide range of scientists, including geophysicists, structural geologists, engineers, and astrobiologists. As serpentinites have wide stability fields, they form in a variety of environments, from the Earth’s surface to the interior of the mantle.

Serpentinites, primarily composed of serpentine minerals and formed by hydration of peridotites, increasingly attract the attention of a wide range of scientists, including geophysicists, structural geologists, engineers, and astrobiologists. As serpentinites have wide stability fields, they form in a variety of environments, from the Earth’s surface to the interior of the mantle. They are important as reservoirs of water in the deep mantle and in the recycling of elements in subduction zones. Because of their physical properties, serpentinites play important roles in seismic activity and geodynamics, including earthquakes in subduction zones, rifting, oceanic spreading, strike-slip faulting, and the exhumation of deeply subducted rocks. Serpentinites are also economically important because obducted serpentinites contain more than half the world’s reserves of nickel.

Glasses And Melts: Linking Geochemistry And Materials Science, October 2006, Vol. 2, No. 5
$20.00Geological interest in studying melts stems from early recognition that melts play a fundamental role in determining the physical and chemical behaviour of magmas and magmatic processes. However, due to the inherent difficulties associated with working at high temperatures, much of the geological research over the last 30 years has used quenched melts or glasses as proxies for melts themselves.
