The aim of this contribution is to survey a relatively new form of convection, which is very easy to investigate in the laboratory, plays an important role in the oceans and many chemical engineering situations and is likely to prove essential in the understanding of some areas of stellar convection. Thermosolutal convection (or double-diffusive convection as it is often called) owes its existence to the presence of two components of different molecular diffusivities which contribute in an opposing sense to the locally vertical density gradient.
