This special issue of American Mineralogist focuses on the "Structure and Properties of Silicate Melts and Fluids," and follows the inaugural meeting "Frontiers in Mineral Sciences 2007" held in Cambridge between June 26–28, 2007 by the four mineralogical societies: the Mineralogical Society of Great Britain and Ireland, the Mineralogical Society of America, the Mineralogical Association of Canada, and the Société Française de Minéralogie et de Cristallographie.
