New Geochemical Perspectives: ‘Metallogeny and Mineral Exploration – Some Personal Reminiscences’

Successful exploration for mineral resources, including those critical for the energy transition, is underpinned by continuing advances in geological and metallogenic understanding. This issue, written by Richard H. Sillitoe, provides a personalised global perspective on some of these advances during the past half century, with a particular focus on copper and gold deposits.

Latest Elements: ‘Paired Metamorphic Belts of SW Japan: Metamorphic Records of a Subduction System’

Subduction, where one plate dives beneath another, controls long­term whole ­Earth cycling of rocks, fluids, and energy. Plates subduct faster than they heat up, making them the coldest parts of the Earth’s interior…This issue of Elements guides readers through a premier example of paired metamorphism: the Cretaceous Sanbagawa­Ryoke metamorphic pair of Japan…… READ MORE
