Geological Melts
Geological Melts by Daniel R. Neuville, published by the Mineralogical Society of America in 2022, is a comprehensive volume that spans 1108 pages. This edition delves into the fundamental aspects of silicate melts and their implications in both technological and natural systems. The book is structured around key themes of structure, properties, and dynamics, providing an in-depth overview of the subject matter.
Readers will find detailed syntheses on short and medium range order, structure-property relationships, and computational simulations of melt structure. The volume further explores the mechanical, diffusive, thermochemical, and rheological properties of melts, alongside their dynamic behavior in magmatic and volcanic systems. Additionally, it addresses the roles of melt and glass in non-magmatic, extraterrestrial, and prehistoric contexts, making it a valuable resource for those interested in Earth sciences, geology, and mineralogy.
Official synopsis Publisher
Volume 87 of Reviews in Mineralogy and Geochemistry covers fundamental aspects of the nature of silicate melts and the implications for the systems in which they participate, both technological and natural. The contents of this volume may perhaps best be summarized as structure – properties – dynamics. The volume contains syntheses of short and medium range order, structure-property relationships, and computation-based simulations of melt structure.
It continues with analyses of the properties (mechanical, diffusive, thermochemical, redox, nucleation, rheological) of melts. The dynamic behavior of melts in magmatic and volcanic systems, is then treated in the context of their behavior in magma mixing, strain localization, frictional melting, magmatic fragmentation, and hot sintering. Finally, the non-magmatic, extraterrestrial and prehistoric roles of melt and glass are presented in their respective contexts.
