The amazing science behind the search for Earth-like planetsEver since Carl Sagan first predicted that extraterrestrial civilizations must number in the millions, the search for life on other planets has gripped our imagination. Is Earth so rare that advanced life forms like us-…
This book describes the structure-property-composition relationships for silicate glasses and melts of industrial and geological interest. From Antiquity to the 20th century, an introductory chapter presents this subject in a historical perspective. Basic concepts are then discu…

""Silicate Glasses and Melts - Properties and Structure" first introduces the reader to the principles that govern the and chemical properties of these materials and, in particular, to the mutual relations between their properties and structure. With pure SiO[subscript 2] as a s…

The research presented in this dissertation examines how the relative dominance of silicate versus carbonate weathering varies both spatially and temporally in two rapidly uplifting, young orogenic belts—the Himalaya Mountains and the New Zealand Southern Alps. Silicate rocks in…
