The GMPV Division addresses the chemical and physical properties of minerals that build our planet and their impacts on humanity and Earth’s habitability. The topics that fall under the GMPV purview include volcanic unrest and eruption; formation and evolution of continental crust; the role of atmospheric composition in habitability, via the geochemical record linked to mass extinctions; and the chemistry of the deep Earth, from mantle to core, including isotope geochemistry and radiometric dating. The science covered by GMPV also includes ocean chemistry and its control by ocean floor magmatism, weathering and erosion of continental crust, or cosmic input. The GMPV scope includes the traceability of fluid migration within the Earth through the study of ore deposits, geothermal systems as well as modifications of deep-seated rocks. In sum, the disciplines encompassed by the GMPV Division collectively describe the workings of complex and inter-connected systems in the Earth, providing the opportunity to speculate about other potentially habitable planets.</p> <div class="float-md-right text-center text-md-right mb-2 ml-md-3" > <figure class="figure"> <img alt="pallasite" class="figure-img img-fluid img-thumbnail" width="120" height="120" src="https://www.egu.eu/media/filer_public_thumbnails/filer_public/73/f0/73f0b052-6e83-4148-9697-72786acca0d5/skaermbillede_2016-03-17_kl_202152.png__120x120_crop_subsampling-2_upscale.webp" srcset="https://www.egu.eu/media/filer_public_thumbnails/filer_public/73/f0/73f0b052-6e83-4148-9697-72786acca0d5/skaermbillede_2016-03-17_kl_202152.png__120x120_crop_subsampling-2_upscale.webp 1x, https://www.egu.eu/media/filer_public_thumbnails/filer_public/73/f0/73f0b052-6e83-4148-9697-72786acca0d5/skaermbillede_2016-03-17_kl_202152.png__240x240_crop_subsampling-2_upscale.webp 2x"> </figure> </div> <p>The GMPV division collaborates with the VGP division of the <a href="http://vgp.agu.org/">American Geophysical Union</a>, and with professional societies like the <a href="http://www.eag.eu.com/">European Association of Geochemistry</a> and the <a href="http://eurominunion.org/">European Mineralogical Union</a>.</p> <p>Are you looking for a job within the GMPV see the Job listing sub page <a href="https://www.egu.eu/gmpv/jobs/">here</a>.</p> <div class="headline"> <h2>Latest posts from the GMPV blog</h2> </div> <article class="media"> <img role="presentation" alt="" class="img-fluid img-thumbnail" src="https://www.egu.eu/media/news/blogmessages/2025/03/20/8fb4355a-fedf-4e53-87c9-5be5ecec84d7.jpg.120x120_q90_crop-smart_upscale.webp" srcset="https://www.egu.eu/media/news/blogmessages/2025/03/20/8fb4355a-fedf-4e53-87c9-5be5ecec84d7.jpg.120x120_q90_crop-smart_upscale.webp 1x, https://www.egu.eu/media/news/blogmessages/2025/03/20/8fb4355a-fedf-4e53-87c9-5be5ecec84d7.jpg.240x240_q90_crop-smart_upscale.webp 2x" loading="lazy"> <div class="media-body"> <a class="h4 external" href="https://blogs.egu.eu/divisions/gmpv/2025/03/20/gemstones-and-semigemstones/">Photos-supported and References-based Guide on Gemstones and Semi-gemstones Focusing on their Impacts and Uses in the Ancient Egyptian Civilization</a> <ul class="list-inline mt-1"> <li class="list-inline-item"><i class="fab fa-fw fa-wordpress"></i> <a class="external" href="https://blogs.egu.eu/divisions/gmpv/">Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Petrology & Volcanology</a></li> <li class="list-inline-item"><i class="far fa-fw fa-calendar-plus"></i> posted 2 weeks ago</li> </ul> <p>Geology is more than just studying rocks and minerals; it is also about learning everything you can about the past, studying the present, and finally predicting the future, making the most of your human edition ━ Metwally Hamza. . . . . . . . . . “I dedicate this guide and topic to my dear professor Dr. Zakaria Hamimi, who inspires me with his achievements.” . . . . . . . . .

It’s leucocratic “light-colored”. The equivalent volcanic rock of granite is rhyolite. The melting point of most dry granites ranges between 1215 – 1260 degree celicus.
