Editor-in-Chief Message from the Editor-in-Chief

Prof. Dr. Paul Sylvester Minerals welcomes submissions that report basic and Endowed Pevehouse Chair, applied research in mineralogy. Research areas of Department of Geosciences, traditional interest are mineral deposits, mining, mineral Texas Tech University, Lubbock, TX 79409-1053, USA processing and environmental mineralogy. The journal footprint also includes novel uses of elemental and isotopic analyses of minerals for petrology, geochronology and thermochronology, thermobarometry, ore genesis and sedimentary provenance. Contributions are encouraged in emerging research areas such as applications of quantitative mineralogy to the oil and gas, manufacturing, forensic science, climate change, geohazard and health sectors.
