Social And Economic Impact Of Geochemistry, August 2015, Vol. 11, No. 4
$20.00As geochemists and mineralogists, we are well aware of the impact of our science and when pushed we can often reel out great examples where our discoveries have influenced industry and the social wellbeing on the planet. However, this sort of drum-beating is not intuitive, and the explicit need to demonstrate impact in our science is, in many nations, being used as a measure of the required funding level for our discipline.

Apatite: A Mineral For All Seasons, June 2015, Vol. 11, No. 3
$20.00At the intersection of the biological, geological, and materials science realms, the topic of apatite is highly diverse and interdisciplinary. Apatite-group minerals are the dominant phosphates in the geosphere and biosphere.

Arc Magmatic Tempos, April 2015, Vol. 11, No. 2
$20.00Research over the past decade has established that magmatism in oceanic and continental arcs is not temporally or spatially steady-state. The causes of well-documented order of magnitude increases in magmatic production over relatively short-lived, high-volume events remain controversial.

Mineralogy Of Mars, February 2015, Vol. 11, No. 1
$20.00The Mars Science Laboratory rover Curiosity touched down on the surface of Mars on August 5, 2012. Curiosity was built to search and explore for habitable environments.

Graphitic Carbon, December 2014, Vol. 10, No. 6
$20.00In natural systems, graphitic carbons are widespread and exhibit an infinite range of structure, from amorphous-like compounds (e.g.

Cosmogenic Nuclides, October 2014, Vol. 10, No. 5
$20.00The Earth’s surface is the thin, ever-changing layer on which we live. The geochemical study of cosmogenic nuclides is currently revolutionizing our understanding of the processes that shape this surface layer by providing their rates and dates.

Unconventional Hydrocarbons, August 2014, Vol. 10, No. 4
$20.00The realization that unconventional hydrocarbons, such as gas and oil shale, oil sands, and heavy oil, can now be exploited more effectively and economically has stimulated exploration and exploitation on a global scale. This has led to a new economic and environmental landscape in energy matters that we are only now starting to understand.

Kaolin, June 2014, Vol. 10, No. 3
$20.00Although bearing the simple name “kaolin,” this natural material has a variety of geologic origins and many industrial applications significant to society. Known as china clay, kaolin has a long history dating back to Kauling, China, and its first exploitation in the field of ceramics.

Ophiolites, April 2014, Vol. 10, No. 2
$20.00This thematic issue covers some of the most exciting advances in ophiolite science. Focus is directed toward ophiolite classification during the formation and destruction of ocean basins; the mineralogy, petrology, and isotope geochemistry of ophiolites; and the trace element behavior of crustal and upper-mantle units in ophiolites.
-
Asteroids, February 2014, Vol. 10, No. 1
$20.00Asteroids number in the millions. Orbiting the Sun between Mars and Jupiter, they are thought to be the shattered remnants of small bodies formed within the young Sun’s solar nebula and that never accreted large enough to become planets.
-
Garnet, December 2013, Vol. 9, No. 6
$20.00Garnet is among the most studied—and most beloved—minerals, owing to its commonality in diverse geologic contexts, its often large euhedral crystals, its sometimes dazzling colors, and its propensity for preserving information about its growth history. Chemically zoned garnet represents a remarkable tool for deciphering metamorphic conditions and the evolving tectonic processes that drive garnet growth over many millions of years.

Nitrogen And Its (Biogeocosmo) Chemical Cycling, October 2013, Vol. 9, No. 5
$20.00Nitrogen is the most abundant element in Earth’s atmosphere and a key component of the biosphere. It is also a critical part of the surface/near-surface cycling of nutrients, thus directly impacting our lives.
