Social And Economic Impact Of Geochemistry, August 2015, Vol. 11, No. 4
$20.00
As 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.
Social And Economic Impact Of Geochemistry
August 2015, Vol. 11, No. 4
As 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. The papers in this issue shows how we use geochemistry to achieve impact, and they provide the basic science coupled to case studies from the hydrocarbon, mineral, environmental, and health and nutrition fields. The authors document economic estimates of the benefits of their science; an example is the role of mass spectrometry in the oil and gas sector, in disease control, and in the use of isotopic tracers in mineral exploration.

Fluids in Planetary Systems, January 2005, Vol. 1, No. 1
$20.00Water and other geofluids play an important role in the geochemical and rheological evolution of the Earth and other bodies in the solar system. These fluids are responsible for the formation of hydrothermal mineral deposits, affect eruption behavior in volcanic systems and the geophysical properties of the mantle, and significantly affect the way in which rocks deform and fracture.
