Gas mixtures play a crucial role in distributing elements between different parts of Earth and planet-forming systems over a range of settings and temperatures. Despite the fundamental role of gases in geochemical cycles and their prevalence both in the crust and the early solar system, we are unaware of any reviews on this topic. This volume arose from an interest in promoting further research into the role of gases in geologic systems on Earth and beyond, with an aim to illuminate the gaps in our knowledge.
We focus on high temperature interactions here because at low temperatures, low density, very low dielectric constant gas mixtures rather loosely 'physisorb' onto natural materials. In contrast, at higher temperatures solids volatilize and condense, lose/gain volatile components and heterogeneous chemisorption reactions occur between gases and solid surfaces. These reactions have previously had very little attention, but recent research has laid foundations for understanding these processes and their application to Earth and planetary environments.
The volume is divided into five main topics:
