Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is a new technique for elemental
and isotopic analysis which combines the remarkable characteristics of the ICP for atomizing …

Abstract Knowledge of the elemental compositions and isotopic ratios of geological samples
is a prerequisite for geochemical research. For whole-rock elemental composition and …

The metal-hydrogen interaction and its equilibrium conditions allow for distinct properties in
metal hydrides (MHs). Based on these properties, MHs have been found to enable a range …

The origin of Earth's volatiles has been attributed to a late addition of meteoritic material after
core–mantle differentiation. The nature and consequences of this 'late veneer'are debated …

The later stages of Earth's transition to a permanently oxygenated atmosphere during the
Great Oxidation Event (GOE;∼ 2.43–2.06 Ga) is commonly linked with the suggestion of an …

Submarine hydrothermal venting leads to the formation of black smoker chimneys with
complex internal zoning. These emerge through mineral precipitation under changing fluid …

Double spike (DS) method has been extensively used in determining stable isotope ratios of
many elements. However, challenges remain in obtaining high-precision isotope data for …

The foundations of stable isotope geochemistry were laid in 1947 by Urey's classic paper on
the thermodynamic properties of isotopic substances and by Nier's development of the …

The selenium stable isotope system emerges as a new potential tracer of volatile origin and
evolution of the terrestrial planets. Accurate determination of the mantle Se isotope …

This is the 34th annual review of the application of atomic spectrometry to the chemical
analysis of environmental samples. This Update refers to papers published approximately …
