Weathering Across The Earth Sciences
August 2019, Vol. 15, No. 4
This issue highlights the integral role of weathering processes across a range of geoscience fields. Chemical weathering – the loss of mass by mineral dissolution and export – is key to understanding how Earth’s skin functions. Weathering is the starting point for the biogeochemical cycles of most elements. It determines river and groundwater chemistry and provides nutrients to ecosystems. Weathering alters rock structure and susceptibility to erosion; soil and landscape evolution cannot be understood without considering the role of chemical weathering. Weathering of silicate rocks is a long-term sink for atmospheric CO2, and has been crucial in maintaining our planet’s habitability over billions of years … and may constitute a geoengineering strategy. The issue is the state-of-the-art on these topics and explores the linkages between them.

Medical Mineralogy And Geochemistry, December 2007, Vol. 3, No. 6
$20.00Medical mineralogy and geochemistry is an emergent, highly interdisciplinary field concerned with both normal and pathological interactions between minerals or amorphous inorganic solids and biomolecules or cells within the human body, and the transport and fate of prions and protein toxins in the soil environment. Prior research has, appropriately, focused on the complex genetic and molecular biological aspects, but there is a growing recognition of the vital need for understanding the surface and bulk properties and reactivities, especially at the challenging nanoscale characteristic of biomacromolecules and biominerals.
