Each chapter demonstrates the significant progress that has been made in the understanding of the physics and chemistry of minerals, and also highlights a number of issues which are still outstanding or that need further work to resolve current contradictions. The book first reviews the current status of our understanding of the nature of the deep Earth. These include the seismic properties of rocks and minerals; problems of the lower mantle and the core-mantle boundary; and the state of knowledge on mantle chemistry and the nature and evolution of the core. The discussions then turn to the theory underlying high-pressure, high-temperature physics, and the major experimental methods being developed to probe this parameter space. The remaining chapters explain the specific techniques for measuring elastic and acoustic properties, electronic and magnetic properties, and rheological properties; the nature and origin of anisotropy in the Earth; the properties of melt; and the magnetic and electrical properties of mantle phases.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003eContributors\u003cbr\u003eEditorial Advisory Board\u003cbr\u003e1 Overview – Mineral Physics: Past, Present, and Future\u003cbr\u003e2 Properties of Rocks and Minerals – Seismic Properties of Rocks and Minerals, and Structure of the Earth\u003cbr\u003e3 Mineralogy of the Earth – Phase Transitions and Mineralogy of the Lower Mantle\u003cbr\u003e4 Mineralogy of the Earth – Trace Elements and Hydrogen in the Earth’s Transition Zone and Lower Mantle\u003cbr\u003e5 Mineralogy of the Earth – The Earth’s Core: Iron and Iron Alloys\u003cbr\u003e6 Theory and Practice – Thermodynamics, Equations of State, Elasticity, and Phase Transitions of Minerals at High Pressures and Temperatures\u003cbr\u003e7 Theory and Practice – Lattice Vibrations and Spectroscopy of Mantle Phases\u003cbr\u003e8 Theory and Practice – Multianvil Cells and High-Pressure Experimental Methods\u003cbr\u003e9 Theory and Practice – Diamond-Anvil Cells and Probes for High P–T Mineral Physics Studies\u003cbr\u003e10 Theory and Practice – Techniques for Measuring High P\/T Elasticity\u003cbr\u003e11 Theory and Practice – Measuring High-Pressure Electronic and Magnetic Properties\u003cbr\u003e12 Theory and Practice – Methods for the Study of High P\/T Deformation and Rheology\u003cbr\u003e13 Theory and Practice – The Ab Initio Treatment of High-Pressure and -Temperature Mineral Properties and Behavior\u003cbr\u003e14 Properties of Rocks and Minerals – Constitutive Equations, Rheological Behavior, and Viscosity of Rocks\u003cbr\u003e15 Properties of Rocks and Minerals – Diffusion, Viscosity, and Flow of Melts\u003cbr\u003e16 Seismic Anisotropy of the Deep Earth from a Mineral and Rock Physics Perspective\u003cbr\u003e17 Properties of Rocks and Minerals – Physical Origins of Anelasticity and Attenuation in Rock\u003cbr\u003e18 Properties of Rocks and Minerals – High-Pressure Melting\u003cbr\u003e19 Properties of Rocks and Minerals – Thermal Conductivity of the Earth\u003cbr\u003e20 Properties of Rocks and Minerals – Magnetic Properties of Rocks and Minerals\u003cbr\u003e21 Properties of Rocks and Minerals – The Electrical Conductivity of Rocks, Minerals, and the Earth\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Geology \u0026amp; the lithosphere [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Geology \u0026amp; the lithosphere\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Geology%20\u0026amp;%20the%20lithosphere%20%5BRBG%5D%22\"\u003eRBG\u003c\/a\u003e], Mineralogy \u0026amp; gems [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Mineralogy \u0026amp; gems\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Mineralogy%20\u0026amp;%20gems%20%5BPNV%5D%22\"\u003ePNV\u003c\/a\u003e], Geophysics [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Geophysics\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Geophysics%20%5BPHVG%5D%22\"\u003ePHVG\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Elsevier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46651497316632,"sku":"9780444534583","price":53.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780444534583_8fea3264-c42f-4ffa-9d55-604cee2dafe9.jpg?v=1694987219","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/treatise-on-geophysics-volume-2-mineral-physics-paperback-9780444534583","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
