Discover the fascinating new issue of Elements: BIRTH AND GROWTH OF MINERALS FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS (February 2025; vol. 21, no. 1) https://lnkd.in/edCk7KE7 Now available online and in print. The birth and growth of minerals from aqueous solutions is a ubiquitous process in both natural and engineered environments. This research ?eld has recently experienced a paradigm shift due to the discovery of non-classical nucleation and growth processes. These insights have helped us to understand better the natural world and signi?cantly impact various industrial and environmental applications, such as the development of more sustainable building materials, mineral processing, CO2 storage, and water treatment. Consequently, detailed knowledge of the mechanisms and kinetics underlying mineral nucleation and growth is vital in these areas. This issue provides a comprehensive overview of mineral formation by reviewing classical mechanisms and supplementing them with recent insights about the nucleation and growth of minerals, particularly those concerning non-classical crystallization pathways.

The department offers a world-class, intellectually stimulating environment that values its people and fosters innovative research aimed at addressing significant scientific and societal challenges in Earth and Planetary Sciences. We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher in geochemistry and stable isotope geochemistry to contribute to an integrated 3-D geophysical, geological, geochemical, and geodynamic study. In this role, the postdoctoral fellow will: 1. Investigate the chemical and isotopic signatures of volatiles (CO2?and 3He/4He) and gas flux (CO2) to assess the extent of magma sources beneath the rift system. 2. Use He-C relationships to quantitatively assess volatile inputs from the mantle to the crust and surface. 3. Quantify the variability of tectonic CO2?flux to the atmosphere associated with rifting. 4. Compile and synthesize published and unpublished data for hot springs in amagmatic and magmatic continental Rift systems. 5. Perform other duties as assigned. Desired Qualifications: - Doctoral degree in geochemistry or a related field. - Strong computational, modeling, and analytical skills. - Experience with stable isotope ratio mass spectrometry (a must). - Ability to mentor graduate and undergraduate students. - Proven ability to conduct independent research and disseminate results in peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings. Application Materials:? Please submit your CV, a cover letter outlining how your research experience and interests relate to the geochemistry and stable isotope geochemistry of aqueous systems and gases, and the contact information for three referees who will provide letters of reference. Be part of a multidisciplinary research team advancing understanding of continental rifting processes! To apply, please?use the link?https://lnkd.in/egaPcXfN.

Enjoy the latest issue of Elements: HIMALAYAN LEUCOGRANITES (December 2024; vol. 20, no. 6) https://lnkd.in/e5V7EdBY Now available online and in print. The Himalaya, the youngest and largest mountain range on Earth, is home to 10 of the world’s 14 mountain peaks higher than 8000 meters above sea level, including the highest Qomolangma Peak, widely known as Mt. Everest (8848 m). Leucogranites are exposed intermittently throughout over 2000 km along the crest of the Himalaya, forming on the summits or as an essential component of these high peaks. These Himalayan leucogranites are quintessential examples of crust anatexis associated with collisional orogenesis. They provide a rare opportunity to explore the interplay of geodynamics, tectonics, and magmatism in a classic continental collisional setting. Extensive studies on these leucogranites have significantly advanced our understanding of crustal anatexis, felsic magma differentiation, and the tectonic evolution of the Himalayan--Tibetan Orogen. This issue of Elements reviews the petrogenesis and significance of Himalayan leucogranites, focusing on their tectonic and geodynamic context, source rocks, petrology, geochemistry, and genetic links to orogenesis and economic resources. This issue not only summarizes the state--of--the-art research on Himalayan leucogranites but also presents an example of how a multidisciplinary approach can elucidate granite petrogenesis and associated mineralization and orogenic evolution.

Enjoy the stunning new issue of Elements: BEHIND AND BEYOND LUMINESCENCE IMAGING (October 2024; vol. 20, no. 5) https://lnkd.in/e5V7EdBY Luminescence images, typically obtained in optical or scanning electron microscopes, are in many cases extremely powerful and sensitive in unravelling defects, and revealing internal textures of minerals and mineral distribution patterns in rocks. The use of luminescence images in Earth sciences research is therefore widespread, and still increasing. However, the undisputed fact that such images can be used quite successfully even without knowing the causes of emissions, has created bad repute of luminescence as somehow unscholarly. The main objective of this issue of Elements is to convince readers that there is much, much more; far beyond merely interesting pictures that show “something.” Spectroscopic analysis of emissions assists in their understanding and provides detailed information on samples, their formation, and their post?growth history. Imaging backed up by luminescence spectroscopy—ideally combined with complementary techniques—is the prerequisite for truly well?grounded implementations. This issue presents a number of diverse applications in Earth science research, even though there cannot be any claim to cover all aspects. Examples range from the use of luminescence spectroscopy in magmatic, metamorphic, and sedimentary petrology, through obtaining crystal?chemical information on samples, enabling recognition of synthetic and treated gemstones, to ore exploration and sorting.?

Explore the latest issue of Elements: THE INVISIBLE OCEAN: HYDROGEN IN THE DEEP EARTH (August 2024; vol. 20, no. 4) https://lnkd.in/e5V7EdBY Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe and its distribution, transfer, and speciation in the deep Earth remain a fascinating topic of ongoing research. We review the most notable discoveries constraining the H cycle in the deep Earth. This includes new methods for detecting hydrogen, insights into the size of deep reservoirs, and new constraints from inclusions in ultradeep diamonds. Advances in seismic and magneto- telluric imaging provide unique data on the storage and mobility of water in Earth′s interior. Models of the early Earth and of its habitability critically depend on the behavior of hydrogen in a magma ocean–atmosphere system. Later in Earth history, water may have been essential for establishing plate tectonics, a phenomenon making Earth a unique planet. Read the full issue at https://lnkd.in/e5V7EdBY.
