A complete knowledge of 3 d transition‐metal valencies, site occupancies and site symmetries is essential for a full understanding of mineral/melt energetics and behaviour. Over the last few years, significant advances in both instrumentation and theory associated with synchrotron radiation sources and experiments have enabled the development of 2 p X‐ray absorption spectroscopy as a sensitive, element‐specific site and valency probe. The potential of this technique in the Earth sciences is discussed in this paper with examples reflecting the variety of problems set by 3 d transition metals in natural systems.
