The theme of the 2003 symposium of the Joint meeting of the Mineralogical Society of Japan, the Japanese Association of Mineralogists, Petrologists and Economic Geologists, and the Society of Resource Geology is carbon and carbonate minerals. The minerals are important in many fields of earth sciences, material sciences, biological sciences, and environmental sciences. In the symposium, we chose seven invited papers for natural and synthetic diamonds, porous carbon materials, methane hydrates, rare-earth carbonate minerals, and paleoenvironmental studies using carbon and carbonate materials.
