The Cabri Issue
Editor: R.F. Martin
Volume 40, number 2, 2002
This thematic issue of The Canadian Mineralogist (Volume 40, part 2, April 2002) honors Louis Cabri on the occasion of his retirement. More than 60 researchers and close collaborators, colleagues and admirers of his work, publish on the themes that have been recurrent in Louis Cabri’s distinguished career – innovative research in the field of platinum-group minerals and precious metals. The authors of the 32 papers explore the following themes: ore mineralogy of platinum-group minerals; phase-equilibria studies in sulfur-bearing systems; distribution of PGE in natural systems; crystal structure and crystal chemistry of PGM and mineralogy of ore assemblages.

Seafloor Hydrothermal Mineralization
Editors : T.L. Barrett & J.L. Jambor
Volume 26, part 3, 1988
The discovery of active seafloor hydrothermal systems has had a major impact on the field of economic geology. Indeed, the study of these natural laboratories has led to a substantial refinement of our models of ore-forming processes, particularly as applied to volcanogenic massive sulfide deposits. After a review of hydrothermal mineralization at oceanic ridges, this thematic issue examines hydrothermal processes at the Eastern and Northeastern Pacific Ridges, at the Mid-Atlantic and Mid-Indian Ridges, and at the Red Sea Rift.
