Magnesium (Mg) has an atomic number of 12 and belongs to the alkaline earth element
(Group II) of the Periodic Table. The pure Mg is a silvery white metal and has a melting point …

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 …

Shallow-water carbonate sediments constitute the bulk of sedimentary carbonates in the
geologic record and are widely used archives of Earth's chemical and climatic history. One …

Although deep carbon recycling plays an important role in the atmospheric CO2 budget and
climate changes through geological time, the precise mechanisms remain poorly …

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 …

The biennial review of atomic-weight determinations and other cognate data has resulted in
changes for the standard atomic weights of five elements. The atomic weight of bromine has …

Calcite growth experiments have been performed in the presence of aqueous Mg at 25° C
and 1bar pCO2 to quantify magnesium partition coefficient DMg=(Mg/Ca) solid (Mg/Ca) fluid …

Carbonate sediments and rocks are valuable archives of Earth's past whose geochemical
compositions inform our understanding of Earth's surface evolution. Yet carbonates are also …

The isotopic characteristics of the sub-oceanic mantle are well established, but in
continental regions these properties are usually obscured, and therefore controversial …

Abstract The Ca, Mg, O, and C isotopic and trace elemental compositions of marine
limestones and dolostones from ODP Site 1196A, which range in depth (∼ 58 to 627 mbsf) …
