The isotopic compositions of natural materials are determined by their parent reservoirs, on
the one hand, and by fractionation mechanisms, on the other hand. Under the right …

Isotopic composition analysis contributes significantly to the investigation of the
biogeochemical cycle of zinc with its economical, environmental and health implications …

The elemental composition of coral skeletons provides important information for
palaeoceanographic reconstructions and coral biomineralization. Partition of anions and …

The incorporation of iodine into each of the three polymorphs of CaCO 3–calcite, aragonite
and vaterite, is compared using first-principles computational simulation. In each case iodine …

The incorporation of magnesium and sulfate in calcite is frequently used to characterize and
trace the environmental conditions occurring during carbonate mineral formation. Although …

The theoretical determination of the isotopic fractionation between an aqueous solution and
a mineral is of utmost importance in Earth sciences. While for crystals, it is well established …

Carbonate associated sulfate (CAS) is a proxy for the seawater redox conditions of ancient
oceans. Despite its frequent utilization from altered carbonate archives, the impact of …

Calcium carbonate precipitates occur in diverse and widespread aquatic environments, both
from marine to terrestrial natural surroundings and from anthropogenic to engineered …

Abstract Sulfate (SO 4 2−) incorporated into calcium carbonate minerals enables
measurements of sulfur (S) isotope ratios in carbonate rocks. This Carbonate Associated …

Despite the importance of boron as a proxy of past ocean pH, the crystal-chemical factors
controlling its incorporation in the structure of calcium carbonates are still poorly understood …
