The 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.
Unconventional Hydrocarbons
August 2014, Vol. 10, No. 4
The 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. Exploiting unconventional hydrocarbons requires additional technology, energy, and capital compared to the industry standard. This thematic issue addresses the geologic and geochemical nature of these resources and their impact on global socioeconomics and the environment.

Arsenic, April 2006, Vol. 2, No. 2
$20.00Arsenic is an element known throughout history as a classic poison. Currently, very small but highly significant concentrations of this element in drinking water supplies are causing massive health problems to many millions of people in some of the world’s poorest nations, and more localised sources related to mining and processing are also a concern.

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.

Frontiers In Textural And Microgeochemical Analysis, August 2007, Vol. 3, No. 4
$20.00Recent advances have been made in high-resolution in situ methods to image mineral growth patterns, analyse compositional and isotopic zonation, and improve our ability to visualize, study, and model rock textures in three dimensions. These advances provide a significant step forward in the understanding of how rocks form and the history they can tell us.
