In press: December 6, 2011 IN PREPARATION Volume 8, Number 1 • IMPACT! Impact processes are central to the formation and evolution of the Solar System and the modification of planetary surfaces. On Earth, asteroid impacts played a critical role during Earth history; they delivered the constituents of our planet, were responsible for the formation of major ore deposits, and affected life on Earth. Studying impacts and their effects is a very active field at the crossroads of many scientific disciplines, from mineralogy to environmental science. This issue will focus on the mineralogical, geochemical, and petrological aspects of terrestrial impact structures, and in particular on the latest developments in the relevant fields. ____________________________________ A publication of the Mineralogical Society of America, the Mineralogical Society of Great Britain and Ireland, the Geochemical Society, the Mineralogical Association of Canada, The Clay Minerals Society, the International Association of GeoChemistry, the European Association of Geochemistry, the Société Française de Minéralogie et de Cristallographie, the Association of Applied Geochemists, the Deutsche Mineralogische Gesellschaft, the International Association of Geoanalysts, the Società Italiana di Mineralogia e Petrologia, the Polskie Towarzystwo Mineralogiczne (Mineralogical Society of Poland), the Sociedad Española de Mineralogía (Spanish Mineralogical Society), the Swiss Society of Mineralogy and Petrology, and The Meteoritical Society |
