The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 229-246., 2021 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.

Chemical Geodynamics Insights From a Machine Learning Approach
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022 The radiogenic isotope heterogeneity of oceanic basalts is often assessed using 2D isotope ratio diagrams. But because the underlying data are at least six dimensional (87Sr/86Sr, 143Nd/144Nd, 176Hf/177Hf, and 208,207,206Pb/204Pb), it is important to ...

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 The chemical and isotopic compositions of volcanic arc lavas often show evidence for involvement of a sedimentary component during magma genesis. Determining where this sedimentary component is added to arc magmas is of vital importance for constraining ...

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration, 2020 The Salda Lake basin which is in the southwestern Turkey is an important water body in view of environmental values. We used stable isotopes (δD and δ18O), δ3H and 14C composition of the water samples to understand recharge process effective in the ...

Strontium isotopes and the reconstruction of the Chaco regional system: evaluating uncertainty with Bayesian mixing models. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Strontium isotope sourcing has become a common and useful method for assigning sources to archaeological artifacts.In Chaco Canyon, an Ancestral Pueblo regional center in New Mexico, previous studiesusing these methods have suggested that significant ...

Tropical Sand Cays as Natural Paleocyclone Archives
Geophysical Research Letters, 2019 Sand cays are valuable paleo‐archives that can significantly increase our understanding of Holocene tropical cyclone variability. Here we conducted detailed sedimentological and chronological analyses from a 195‐cm‐depth pit excavated on Guangjin Island (
