Description
Frontiers in Geofluids is a collection of invited paperschosen to highlight recent developments in our understanding ofgeological fluids in different parts of the Earth, and published tomark the first ten years of publication of the journalGeofluids. The scope of the volume ranges from thefundamental properties of fluids and the phase relationships offluids encountered in nature, to case studies of the role of fluidsin natural processes. New developments in analytical andtheoretical approaches to understanding fluid compositions, fluidproperties, and geological fluid dynamics across a wide range ofenvironments are included. A recurrent theme of research publishedin Geofluids is the way in which similar approaches can beapplied to geological fluids in very different settings and this isreflected in the diverse range of applications of fluid studiesthat are included here. They include deep groundwater flow,hydrocarbons in faulted sedimentary basins, hydrothermal ores, andmultiphase flow in mid-ocean ridge systems. Other topics coveredare geothermal waters, crustal metamorphism, and fluids in magmaticsystems.
The book will be of great interest to researchers and studentsinterested in crustal and mantle fluids of all sorts.
Reviews / Votes
"I advise anyone interested in gaining (or even refining)an incredible understanding of fluids in geologic systems to readthis series of papers. Each is well written, they are logicallyassembled, and as a whole they do an excellent job of balancingmaterial that is justifiably review with cutting-edgescience. Using this book to complement a course is a nobrainer." (Pure and Applied Geophysics, 1October 2013) "I have already referred to this book several times in mygraduate student seminar, and predict that it will be a valuablereference for many years to come." (AmericanMineralogist, 1 October 2013) "However, for the researcher who is looking to keepabreast of recent developments in physical and chemicalhydrogeology, particularly one who does not already subscribe tothe journal Geofluids, and as a companion text for a graduate levelhydrogeology course, Frontiers in Geofluids would make a valuableand convenient reference."

Bruce Yardley is Professor in the School of Earth andEnvironment at the University of Leeds, UK, and was a foundingeditor of the journal Geofluids. His research concerns the natureand role of fluids in the crust, including metamorphic processes,hydrothermal ore systems and sedimentary basins. He obtained hisPhD at the University of Bristol in 1975, and has been at theUniversity of Leeds since 1985. He held a Harkness Fellowship atthe University of Washington, Seattle, and has recently been aHumboldt Awardee at the Deutsches GeoForschungZentrum, Potsdam.
Craig Manning is a Professor of Geology and Geochemistryin the Department of Earth and Space Sciences at the University ofCalifornia Los Angeles. He received BA degrees in Geology and inGeography from the University of Vermont, and MS and PhD degrees inGeology from Stanford University. His research focuses onexperimental and theoretical study of geologic fluids at highpressure and temperature.
Grant Garven is a Professor in the Department of Geologyand in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering atTufts University, near Boston.
