Geochemical Perspectives Letters in Web of Science
We are delighted to announce that Geochemical Perspectives Letters (GPL) has been accepted for inclusion in the Science Citation Index Expanded and is now indexed in Web of Science (WoS), the world's oldest citation index and a highly valued resource for researchers. GPL’s impact factor is therefore expected in June 2019.
GPL's acceptance into WoS marks an important milestone for the journal, reflecting the growing international recognition it has received since its launch in 2015. The editorial board would like to thank all the readers, authors, reviewers and editors who have contributed towards its success.

Start of the 2018 Distinguished Lecture Tour
Dr. Jim McQuaid's 2018 Distinguished Lecture Tour of Central and Eastern Europe kicks off a month from now at Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland. Over the following seven days, Jim will visit universities in Hungary and Romania, before making a final stop in Croatia in early December. Four lectures on the theme of atmospheric and climate science will be given to students and staff at the universities during the tour. Stay tuned for news!

Elements October issue: Deep-Ocean Mineral Deposits
Ferromanganese nodules/crusts and seafloor massive sulfides are a unique feature of the deep-ocean seafloor. These deep-ocean mineral deposits are windows into Earth's processes, revealing clues to the evolution of seawater and ancient ore-forming processes. They also represent significant metal resources that could contribute future raw materials supply. The articles in this issue explore the formation of deep-ocean mineral deposits; their inherent scientific value; and the geological, technical, environmental and economic challenges, as well as regulatory and philosophical questions, of extracting such mineral resources.

Transition metal availability to speleothems controlled by organic binding ligands
Speleothems are important archives of Quaternary palaeoclimate. However, climate proxies based on trace elements in speleothems are currently limited to the metals which exhibit simple partitioning (Mg2+, Sr2+, Ba2+). This study aims to expand understanding of the processes controlling the...

Plume-lithosphere interaction, and the formation of fibrous diamonds
Fluid inclusions in diamond provide otherwise inaccessible information on the origin and nature of carbonaceous fluid(s) in the mantle. Here we evaluate the role of subducted volatiles in diamond formation within the Siberian cratonic lithosphere. Specifically, we focus on the halogen (Cl, Br and...
