This text is based on the 1997 Kongsberg seminar, organized by the Department of Geology at the University of Oslo. The seminar brought together scientists from various disciplines involved in the study of growth and dissolution of minerals and pattern formation in geosystems. The volume includes several chapters dealing with non-equilibrium growth processes and pattern formation, which have recently become recognized as much more common in geological systems than hitherto thought. The multidisciplinary context of this book should promote cross-fertilization of ideas in a rapidly developing area that has a wide range of important applications in mineralogy and petrology as well as in other areas of science and technology.
