The Critical Zone
October 2007, Vol. 3, No. 5
The Critical Zone (CZ) encompasses all fluid, mineral, gaseous, and biotic components from the outer envelope of vegetation down to the lower limit of groundwater. It supports much of life on Earth. Important, relevant societal challenges related to CZ science to be addressed in the next decade are: (1) what processes control fluxes of carbon, particulates, and other reactive gases into and from the CZ? (2) how do weathering processes in the CZ nourish ecosystems? (3) how do chemical and physical weathering processes shape the CZ? and (4) how do biogeochemical processes in the CZ govern long-term sustainability of water and soil resources?

Diamonds, March 2005, Vol. 1, No. 2
$20.00Diamond, the fascinating ultrahard mineral, is the focus of considerable interest and scientific research. Recent advances particularly relevant to geoscientists include: diamond as a recorder of Earth processes from the perspective of inclusions, chemistry, and conditions of formation; synthesis for research applications and processing to modify color and physical properties, important to diamond gems and anvils; the implications of nanodiamonds from meteorites.

Phosphates And Global Sustainability, April 2008, Vol. 4, No. 2
$20.00Phosphorus is a unique element: it is essential to the existence of all living forms, and as such controls biological productivity in many terrestrial and marine environments; but when in excess, it leads to uncontrollable biological growth and water-quality problems. This has become a common environmental issue, resulting from our careless use of phosphorus in agriculture, yet phosphate ore deposits, from which fertilizers are produced, are a finite natural resource.
