Meteorite zircon constraints on the bulk Lu−Hf isotope composition and early differentiation of the Earth [PDF]
Significance The radioactive decay of lutetium-176 to hafnium-176 has been used to study Earth’s crust−mantle differentiation that is the primary agent of the chemical and thermal evolution of the silicate Earth. Yet the data interpretation requires a well-defined hafnium isotope growth curve of the bulk Earth, which is notoriously ...

Exploratory Measurements of Singly Substituted and Clumped Isotopologues in Iodate Using Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Rationale Clumped isotope geochemistry can reveal the temperatures and chemical pathways at which molecules form, but it remains unexplored for most inorganic systems. Iodate (IO3−) is central to ocean and atmospheric iodine cycling and to tracking radioactive iodine from nuclear activity.

Effect of Laboratory Reagents for Cleaning Modern Contamination on the δ<sup>15</sup>N Integrity of Nitrogen-Poor Samples. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Rationale Nitrogen isotope values have been widely used for tracing ancient biogeochemical processes, but contaminant‐sensitive materials, such as Precambrian sedimentary rocks, meteorites, or returned extraterrestrial samples, often have low nitrogen levels and are thus vulnerable to modern organic contamination.

An investigation into the archaeological application of carbon stable isotope analysis used to establish crop water availability: solutions and ways forward [PDF]
Carbon stable isotope analysis of charred cereal remains is a relatively new method employed by archaeological scientists to investigate ancient climate and irrigation regimes. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of environmental variables

The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Research subject. The isotopic composition (Pb-Pb, Sm-Nd, Rb-Sr, Os/Os, Hf/Hf, 3 He/4 He, etc.) of magmatic complexes and ore-magmatic systems (OMS) of two ore clusters (Kupolsky and Ilirneysky) located in the subpolar Western Chukotka was studied. These

Effects of acid leaching on the Sr‐Nd‐Hf isotopic compositions of ocean island basalts [PDF]
The ability to conduct multi‐isotopic analyses (e.g., Sr‐Nd‐Hf‐Pb) on the same sample is critical for studies that evaluate the mantle source components of oceanic basalts. The isotopic compositions of relatively immobile elements, such as Nd (and other REE) and Hf, are considered to be relatively resistant to alteration, however, accurate Sr and Pb ...

The Hf-Nd isotope systems are coupled in magmatic systems, but incongruent Hf weathering (‘zircon effect’) of the continental crust leads to a decoupling of the Hf-Nd isotope systems in low-temperature environments during weathering and erosion processes.

Sr-Nd-Pb-Hf isotope results from ODP Leg 187: Evidence for mantle dynamics of the Australian-Antarctic Discordance and origin of the Indian MORB source [PDF]
New high precision PIMMS Hf and Pb isotope data for 14–28 Ma basalts recovered during ODP Leg 187 are compared with zero-age dredge samples from the Australian-Antarctic Discordance (AAD).
