Silicate weathering is critical to global carbon cycle and climate change, and has attracted
considerable attention in Earth science studies. Chemical weathering intensity evaluation …

Calcium stable isotopes were analyzed in well-characterized saprolite samples developed
on a Mesozoic metadiabase dike near Cayce, South Carolina, to determine the degree and …

Basalt-derived soils are widespread worldwide. Such soils contain high levels of heavy
metals like chromium (Cr), which is a serious environmental concern. However, little is …

Crystal-melt separation is important for understanding the evolution of granitic magma and
the connection between plutonic and volcanic rocks. Crystal accumulation and melt …

Serpentinites in subduction zones are important fluid reservoirs for crust-mantle interaction
and arc magma formation. The serpentinite-derived fluids can carry fluid-mobile elements …

As an important post-collisional magmatic product in the orogenic belt, the Himalayan
leucogranites are the critical host rocks for a number of rare-metal mineralization (such as Li …

Barium (Ba) isotope variations offer the potential to trace environmental processes, including
long-term changes in river discharge and marine export production. Riverine inputs are an …

Weathering is a key process controlling V transport from the continental crust to the
hydrosphere. To understand V behavior during chemical weathering, we investigated the …

Barium (Ba) isotopes have been used to trace water mass mixing and export productivity in
the oceans. However, the sources, isotopic signature and seasonal variation of dissolved Ba …

Stable barium (Ba) isotopes are emerging as tracers for the recycling of crustal material into
the mantle. Small but significant Ba isotope variations have been found in global MORB (δ …
