Geochemistry of Sulfate Minerals: A Tribute to Robert O. Rye

These papers are from a special issue of Chemical Geology, volume 215 (2005), issues 1–4. They are a tribute to Robert O. Rye, known as "Bob" to most, in light of his highly productive and ongoing career. Almost all of the papers are derived from topical sessions on sulfate minerals in hydrothermal and low-temperature environments. The sessions, held at the 2000 Geological Society of America meeting in Reno, Nevada and sponsored jointly by the Mineralogical Society of America, the Society of Economic Geologists and the Geochemical Society, included 29 oral and 9 poster presentations. The sessions complemented a short course on the crystallography, geochemistry, and environmental significance of sulfate minerals, sponsored by the Mineralogical Society of America and the Geochemical Society, which immediately preceded the meeting. The papers here typify the breadth of Bob Rye’s research in this important area of geochemistry.
