IEC-11 Special Issue

The 11th IEC was held in 2015 near Rio San Juan on the Northern Coast of the Dominican Republic and organized by Hans-Peter Schertl and Walter V. Maresch from the Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany.

A special issue of the “European Journal of Mineralogy” dedicated to that meeting has now been published (December 2016; Vol. 28, No. 6; guest editors: H.-P. Schertl, W.V. Maresch, W.C. McClelland, C.G. Mattinson). It contains the following papers:
