Volume 16

Mineral reaction kinetics: Microstructures, textures, chemical and isotopic signatures
(W. Heinrich and R. Abart, editors)

In the late 20th century advances in experimentation and in material characterization fostered the development of internally consistent thermodynamic data. This volume emerged from a joint initiative of a team of researchers backgrounds in mineralogy, petrology and geochemistry, etc. who were brought together through ‘geomaterials research’.
