The lithium isotope system is increasingly being applied to a variety of Earth science studies,
as the burgeoning literature attests; over 180 papers have been published in the last twelve …

The significant relative mass difference (c. 16%) between the two stable isotopes of Li
(approximately 6Li 7.5%, 7Li 92.5%), coupled with broad elemental dispersion in Earth and …

The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM;~ 55.9 Ma) was a geologically rapid
warming period associated with carbon release, which caused a marked increase in the …

A global selection of 56 mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB) glasses were analysed for Li and B
abundances and isotopic compositions. Analytical accuracy and precision of analyses …

Weathering of uplifted continental rocks consumes carbon dioxide and transports cations to
the oceans, thereby playing a critical role in controlling both seawater chemistry and climate …

Phanerozoic orogenic gold mineralization at craton margins is related to the metasomatism
of the lithospheric mantle by crustal material. Slab subduction transfers Au from the crust to …

When Harry Hess first proposed the theory of seafloor spreading, he imagined that mantle
peridotite upwelling at midocean ridges reacted with water to form a serpentinite oceanic …

Abstract The Ocean Anoxic Event 2 (OAE2) about 93.5 million years ago was marked by
high atmospheric CO2 concentration, rapid global warming and marine anoxia and euxinia …

We present whole rock Li and Mg isotope analyses of 33 ultramafic xenoliths from the
terrestrial mantle, which we compare with analyses of 30 (mostly chondritic) meteorites. The …

This study presents lithium (Li) and magnesium (Mg) isotope data from experiments
designed to assess the effects of dissolution of primary phases and the formation of …
