<p>Redox chemistry is a reflection of magma composition, and the understanding of magma’s physico-chemical nature is the basic pre-requisite to understand how redox exchanges work in deep Earth systems. <i>Redox geochemistry, magmatism and volcanism </i>addresses the concepts and methods that redox geochemistry uses for understanding magma formation, ascent, evolution, and crystallization.</p> <p>Volume highlights include:</p> <ul> <li>Knowledge of redox mechanisms acting in volcanism and hydrothermalism which has a great impact on the socio-economical development of human societies because of their key-role in volcanic hazard assessment, geothermal energy exploration and ore deposits formation</li> <li>Studies of influence of volatile components and their redox control on volcanic degassing and metal mobility</li> <li>Elements in the silicate liquid geochemistry of silicate melts and magma genesis and focusing on how their properties are influenced</li> <li>Assessment of the role of redox variable in volcanism, including hydrothermal systems, degassing issues and ore deposits formation</li> <li>Illustrative importance of redox state to move a step forward towards the knowledge of stable isotope fractionation, particularly of non-traditional isotopes</li> <li>Advances in experiments and theory revealing new insights into the atomic structure and macroscopic properties of silicate glasses and melts, the evolution of magmas, and processes operating at spreading centers and subduction zones </li> </ul> <p>This volume highlights the benefit of redox studies on the geodynamics of magma production and consumption as well as for constraining and advancing our knowledge of the formation and evolution of the Earth. <i>Redox geochemistry, magmatism and volcanism </i>is a valuable resource in the fields of geochemistry, mineralogy, igneous petrology, geomaterials, geodynamics, natural hazards, volcanology and environmental chemistry.</p> <p> </p>
