Destructive plate margin magmagenesis is one of the most intensely studied and widely debated topics in the earth sciences at present.

About three years ago Catherine de Berg and I published a short article in Nature in which we attempted to explain why the chemistry of the atmosphere of the Earth is today so completely different from that of our two neighbor- ing planets, Mars and Venus.

The founders of geology at the beginning of the last century were suspicious oflaboratories.

Radiography, the use of penetrating radiation to produce shadow images of the internal structure of materials, has been with us since Roentgen made his discovery of x rays in 1895.

Water quality is important to everyone, but professionals in many disciplines need an understanding of this subject.

Volume 16 of Advances in Microbial Ecology has a difficult history.

The accumulation of large amounts of ash from fossil fuel combustion for electric power generation is becoming a major environmental concern in the United States.

The application of surface geochemical methods to finding petroleum is based on the detection of hydrocarbons in the soil that have leaked from a petroleum reservoir at depth.

The time has come for an MTBE Remediation Handbook.

The book summarizes the results of the experimental studies of phase relations in the chemical systems relevant to Earth, carried out by the author in a time period of over 20 years between 1979 and 2001.

Earth is home to an estimated 8 million animal species, 600,000 fungi, 300,000 plants, and an undetermined number of microbial species.

What happens when a chemical is released into the environment?

Chemical petrology is essentially the physical chemistry of rocks and associated fluids, although it also borrows heavily from such other sciences as mineralogy.

This book is the second in a two-volume series that introduces the field of spatial data science.
