As demonstrated by the chapters in this short course, stable isotope techniques are an
important tool in almost every branch of the earth sciences. Central to many of these …

Zircon rare earth element (REE) oxy-barometers have been widely used to calculate magma
oxygen fugacity. However, sometimes confusing results are obtained, such as extremely …

Carbonaceous meteorites are thought to be fragments of C-type (carbonaceous) asteroids.
Samples of the C-type asteroid (162173) Ryugu were retrieved by the Hayabusa2 …

Stable carbon and oxygen isotopes (δ18O and δ13C values) and trace elements have been
applied to the study of diagenesis of carbonate rocks for over 50 years. As valuable as these …

An experimental study was conducted to determine oxygen and carbon isotope fractionation
factors in the system dolomite–water–CO 2 at 80–350 and 100–250° C, respectively, by …

Aragonite was precipitated in the laboratory at 0, 5, 10, 25, and 40° C to determine the
temperature dependence of the equilibrium oxygen isotope fractionation between aragonite …

Abstract Magnetite (Fe3O4) is a common and widespread accessory mineral in many host
rocks and mineral deposits. We used electron microprobe analysis (EMPA), laser ablation …

The increment method is applied to calculation of oxygen isotope fractionation factors for
common magmatic rocks. The 18O-enrichment degree of the different compositions of …

Calcium isotope fractionation was measured on skeletal aragonite and calcite from different
marine biota and on inorganic calcite. Precipitation temperatures ranged from 0 to 28° C …

The increment method has been successfully applied to calculate thermodynamic isotope
fractionation factors of oxygen in silicates, oxides, carbonates, and sulfates. In this paper, we …
