Copper, a native metal found in ores, is the principal metal in bronze and brass. It is a
reddish metal with a density of 8920 kg m− 3. All of copper's compounds tend to be brightly …

Tracking the final fate of subducting carbon is crucial to understanding global carbon cycles
and climate changes in the history of the Earth. Available geochemical tracers such as …

The nine editions of Stable Isotope Geochemistry have appeared over a time span of nearly
50 years. The first edition (1973) appeared as a slim book of 135 pages. Due to the rapid …

Chemostratigraphy has diverse applications to investigating the rock record, such as
reconstructing paleoenvironments, determining the tectonic setting of sedimentary basins …

The oceanic biogeochemical cycles of the transition metals have been eliciting considerable
attention for some time. Many of them have isotope systems that are fractionated by key …

Deep carbon cycle is crucial for mantle dynamics and maintaining Earth's habitability.
Recycled carbonates are a strong oxidant in mantle carbon-iron redox reactions, leading to …

Considered esoteric only a few years ago, research into the stable isotope geochemistry of
transition metals is moving into the geoscience mainstream. Although initial attention …

The zinc (Zn) stable isotope system has great potential for tracing planetary formation and
differentiation processes due to its chalcophile, lithophile and moderately volatile character …

A large set of zinc (Zn) stable isotope data for continental basalts from eastern China were
reported to investigate the application of Zn isotopes as a new tracer of deep carbonate …

Zinc (Zn) is a key micronutrient for marine phytoplankton, with a global distribution that is
similar to silicic acid. The processes that govern this relationship, despite the very different …
