By 2030, about 60% of the human population will live in cities. Clearly, anthropogenic activities in urban environments affect geochemical cycles, water resources, and the health of ecosystems and humans globally.
Urban Geochemistry
December 2012, Vol. 8, No. 6
By 2030, about 60% of the human population will live in cities. Clearly, anthropogenic activities in urban environments affect geochemical cycles, water resources, and the health of ecosystems and humans globally. Past practices are still having biogeochemical impacts today, and in many cases remediation is needed. Both natural and manÂmade disasters greatly change the geochemistry of urban areas. Understanding past impacts can aid in future disaster planning. An increased awareness of the geochemical and mineralogical effects of urbanization on geoÂchemical cycling will aid urban planners in the effort to make urban development sustainable.

Glasses And Melts: Linking Geochemistry And Materials Science, October 2006, Vol. 2, No. 5
$20.00Geological interest in studying melts stems from early recognition that melts play a fundamental role in determining the physical and chemical behaviour of magmas and magmatic processes. However, due to the inherent difficulties associated with working at high temperatures, much of the geological research over the last 30 years has used quenched melts or glasses as proxies for melts themselves.

Large Igneous Provinces: Origin And Environmental Consequences, December 2005, Vol. 1, No. 5
$20.00Large igneous provinces record major outpourings of igneous rocks, both on the continents and in ocean basins. Their origin is still vigorously disputed, with models invoking mantle plumes, thermal effects of the lithosphere, and meteorite impacts.
