Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

For many decades the accurate and precise determination of isotope ratios has remained a
very strong interest to many researchers due to its important applications in earth …

A total of 2128 calcitic and phosphatic shells, mainly brachiopods with some conodonts and
belemnites, were measured for their δ 18O, δ 13C and 87Sr/86Sr values. The dataset covers …

Following an Eocene continent-arc collision, the Western Anatolia region experienced a
complete cycle of thickening and orogenic collapse. The early stage of collision-related …

The existing Hf isotope database for mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORB) is limited in both
quantity and precision. Nevertheless, in Hf–Nd isotope space, MORBs show a wide variation …

Apatite is an important common U-and Th-bearing accessory mineral in igneous,
metamorphic and clastic sedimentary rocks. The advent of in situ U–Th–Pb apatite …

Coal has long fueled human civilizations. The history of systematic coal fuel exploitation has
been traced back to the late third millennium before present (post-2500 BP). Although …

Thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS) offers the excellent precision and accuracy of
the Sr and Nd isotopic ratio analysis for geological samples, but this method is labour …

New techniques of isotopic measurements by a new generation of mass spectrometers
equipped with an inductively-coupled-plasma source, a magnetic mass filter, and multiple …

An introduction to Sr‐isotope stratigraphy can be obtained from several recent reviews
(Elderfield, 1986; Veizer, 1989; McArthur, 1991, 1992a). The purpose of this article is not to …
