Thermodynamics Of Earth Systems, October 2010, Vol. 6, No. 5
$20.00
During the past decades, thermodynamics has become an essential tool for understanding fundamental processes that have determined the structure and evolution of our planet. From the atmosphere to the ocean and sediments, from metamorphic terranes to magmatic provinces, the lower mantle, and the core, this issue of Elements illustrates how a better understanding of the manner in which free energy depends on temperature, pressure, and chemical composition allows the Earth’s activity to be better deciphered.

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.

The Nuclear Fuel Cycle – Environmental Aspects, December 2006, Vol. 2, No. 6
$20.00Increasing concerns for the effects of global warming that result from rising greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere have led to a reexamination, even enthusiasm, for nuclear power. Of all the current alternatives to fossil fuels, nuclear fission is the most important source of energy, accounting for 17 percent of the world’s electricity.
