Iron-Bearing Olivines and Pyroxenes
In this chapter, we continue to examine the effects of adding iron to simple magnesian systems. As expected, we shall find that Fe lowers the melting...

Layered Intrusions
A layered intrusion is a set of igneous rocks emplaced into the crust of the Earth in such a way as to be exposed to eventual uplift and weathering...

Geoheritage Potential of Miliolite Formation of the Southern Saurashtra (Western India), Gujarat
Geoheritage studies have become increasingly important for natural resource management, land use management, research, education and tourism of any...

Potassium: Petrogeny’s Residua System and Ternary Feldspars
The main effect of potassium when present in the small amounts typical of most basalt is to lower temperatures slightly and enter into the feldspar...

Extracting ionospheric phase scintillation indicator from GNSS observations with 30-s sampling interval in the high-latitude region
Ionospheric scintillation affects the positioning, navigation and timing services of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), calling for an...

Diopside-Anorthite-Albite
The system Di-An-Ab allows us to study a basaltic model consisting of diopside and an intermediate plagioclase, a model which is much closer to the...

Heterogeneity of Surface Heat Exchange of Slopes and Potential Drivers of the Initiation of Thaw Slump, Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
In the mountainous permafrost area, most thaw slumps are distributed in north or northeast-facing shady slope areas. It is commonly known that there...

Potential Future Challenges and Impacts on Fisheries and Coastal Economies
In this chapter we focus on the future of the coastal economies, in relation to several climate and Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) scenarios...

Iron and Oxygen
In the systems heretofore discussed, we have dealt mainly with the six components SiO2, Al2O3, MgO, CaO, Na2O, and K2O, which may be found the...

Mineralogy and Chemistry of Basalts
When basaltic lava is abruptly quenched, it solidifies to glass. When slowly cooled, it crystallizes, more or less completely, to an assemblage of...

A New Self-consistent Interatomic Potential Set for Structure Modeling of Monazites and Xenotimes with Variable Composition
A new semi-empirical self-consistent pairwise potential model for rare-earth monazites and xenotimes modeling has been developed. Its transferability...

A correlation between hydroxyl vibrations under compression and anharmonicity: glaucophane as a test case
The infrared hydroxyl bands and first hydroxyl combination bands of glaucophane are characterized under pressure. In this weakly hydrogen-bonded...

The Harmonic Oscillator
After a short premise on the mathematical implications arising from the adoption of the harmonic oscillator in the wave-mechanical interpretation of...
-
The Phase Rule as a Tool
Phase diagrams are both constructed and interpreted in accordance with certain principles of physical chemistry embodied in what is known as the...

Diopside and Anorthite: Supposedly a Binary Eutectic System
In this chapter, we introduce the study of phase equilibrium diagrams as models of natural rocks. The system to be described is simple, yet it...

Dynamics of methane emissions from northwestern Gulf of Mexico subtropical seagrass meadows
While seagrass meadows are perceived to be pertinent blue carbon reservoirs, they also potentially release methane (CH 4 ) into the atmosphere....

A Study on Ikaite Growth in the Presence of Phosphate
Phosphate is a common component in natural growth solutions of ikaite. Although phosphate often occurs as a minor constituent, its presence may...

Biotic regulation of nitrogen gas emissions in temperate agriculture
It is generally assumed that fertilizer addition is the prime driver of nitrogen (N) gas loss from modern crop** systems. This assumption has its...

Geochemical dynamics of phosphorus and metals in sediments of a shallow coastal lake (Xuño Lake, Galicia-NW Iberian Peninsula)
The shallow lakes are important freshwater ecosystems, since they support much of biodiversity and ecosystem services of life on land. Shallow lakes...
