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.

Early Earth, August 2006, Vol. 2, No. 4
$20.00The earliest Earth was a strange inhospitable world, yet transitions occurred culminating in the evolution of life within the first billion years. The preservation of a sparse and ambiguous rock record has encouraged debate.

Carbon Dioxide Sequestration, October 2008, Vol. 4, No. 5
$20.00Storage of carbon in the subsurface involves introduction of supercritical CO2 into rock formations beneath the surface of the Earth, typically at depths of 1000 to 4000 meters. Although CO2 is a relatively benign substance, the volume being considered is large.

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.
