Publisher's Synopsis
This volume investigates the application of highly siderophile (HSE) and strongly chalcophile elements. Among the topics discussed are: analytical methods and data quality; experimental constraints applied to understanding HSE partitioning; nucleosynthetic variations of siderophile and chalcophile elements; HSE in the Earth, Moon, Mars and asteroidal bodies; HSE and chalcophile elements in both cratonic and non-cratonic mantle, encompassing both the sub-continental and sub-oceanic lithosphere; the importance of HSE for studying volcanic and magmatic processes; and an appraisal of the importance of magmatic HSE ore formation in the Earth's crust.
