Although the term orogenic gold has become widely accepted over the past 20 years for
disseminated-to lode-style gold deposits that formed in a variety of tectonic environments …

Isotopic and trace element analysis of zircons can provide reliable and robust estimates of
age, compositions of coexisting minerals and melts, and constraints on the genesis and …

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 …

The modified increment method has been applied to the calculation of oxygen isotope
fractionation factors for hydroxyl-bearing silicate minerals. The order of 18 O enrichment …

Granitoid gneisses and supracrustal rocks that are 3,800–4,000 Myr old are the oldest
recognized exposures of continental crust. To obtain insight into conditions at the Earth's …

The genetic links among rift magmatism, crustal growth and water–rock interaction are an
important issue about mass and heat transfer between mantle and crust during …

A combined study of zircon U–Pb and Lu–Hf isotopes, mineral O isotopes, whole-rock
elements and Sr–Nd isotopes was carried out for Neoproterozoic volcanics and granites …

Oxygen isotope fractionations involving carbonates and sulfates have been controversial for
a long time. There are important unresolved conflicts among the results of theoretical …

Oxygen is the most abundant element in the Earth's crust, mantle, and fluids and therefore its
isotopic composition provides robust constraints on magma genesis. Application of oxygen …

It is now recognized that variations in the Δ 17 O of terrestrial materials resulting from purely
mass dependent fractionations, though small, have geological significance. In this study, the …
