GeoSoilEnviroCARS is a
synchrotron-based research facility at the Advanced Photon Source (right),
Argonne, IL, dedicated to state-of-the-art research on earth materials and
open to the entire scientific community. The x-ray techniques being
utilized include, but are not limited to: high pressure research with the
laser-heated diamond anvil cell, high pressure research with the
multi-anvil press, x-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy, x-ray
fluorescence microprobe, microtomography, microcrystallography, surface
diffraction, inelastic
scattering and powder diffraction.
Mineralogy and Human Welfare by Joseph V. Smith
Part 1: Applications in Geology, Petrology, Environmental Science and Industry
Part 2: Catalog of Crystal Structures
This 795-page database includes (Part I) a comprehensive reference list on Art and Archaeology, Biomineralogy, Environmental Mineralogy and Geochemistry, High Pressure Mineralogy, Materials Science, Medical Mineralogy, and Oceanic Mineralogy. Part II is an exhaustive reference list to publications documenting the crystal structures of known minerals. This database is available here online for the first time by permission of the author.
