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).

Natural radiogenic isotopes (primarily 87Sr/86Sr) from hot springs in the Upper Geyser Basin of the Yellowstone Plateau volcanic field and associated rocks were used to evaluate groundwater flow patterns, water‐rock reactions, and the extent of mixing ...

The Dual Origin of the Terrestrial Atmosphere
The origin of the terrestrial atmosphere is one of the most puzzling enigmas in the planetary sciences. It is suggested here that two sources contributed to its formation, fractionated nebular gases and accreted cometary volatiles.

The radioactive decay of isotopes is one of the most important sources of heat in the Earth's interior. The main radiogenic elements in the crust are U, Th, and K in granitoids.

Peixe Zircon as a Quality Control Reference Material in U‐Pb Geochronology by LA‐ICP‐MS
Key Points Peixe#0 zircon was characterised for U‐Pb geochronology using CA‐ID‐TIMS, SIMS and a long‐term LA‐ICP‐MS data set. The consistent results establish Peixe#0 as a reference material for U‐Pb quality control. Trace element heterogeneity requires careful, CL‐guided spot selection.

Contrasting Mechanisms Controlling Pb Isotopes of Dust in Inland and Marine Archives
Lead (Pb) isotopes are powerful tools for tracing dust provenance and reconstructing paleoclimate. However, variations in Pb isotopic compositions among different grain‐size fractions in sediments complicate their use.

Key Points We recommend using the notation δ122/118SnNIST SRM 3161a for mass‐dependent Sn isotope data. We derived conversion factors relative to NIST SRM 3161a for Puri Sn CEZA (0.132 ± 0.011‰), Sn Lyon (0.229 ± 0.016‰), Sn IPGP (0.162 ± 0.018‰). Tin isotope compositions are presented for SPEX CertiPrep Sn and nine USGS reference materials.

Atmospheric dust is a global nutrient source for plants via foliar uptake
Summary Atmospheric mineral dust is a critical nutrient supplier to marine ecosystems, but its role in terrestrial plant nutrition remains underexplored due to the assumption that nutrients are acquired solely from soils via roots. Here, we demonstrate that plants directly acquire nutrients from dust through leaves, revealing an unrecognized ...

A comprehensive study of noble gases and nitrogen in Hypatia, a diamond-rich pebble from SW Egypt [PDF]
This is a follow-up study of a work by Kramers et al. (2013) on an unusual diamond-rich rock found in the SW side of the Libyan Desert Glass strewn field. This pebble, called Hypatia, is composed of almost pure carbon.

Abstract Enrichment patterns of the redox‐ and bio‐sensitive trace elements U, V, Cr, and Ni in margin sediments are essential for environmental reconstructions. However, their sedimentary accumulation pathways are not fully understood. While the accumulation of toxic trace elements like Cd, Hg, Pb, and Zn has been relatively well studied in fish ...
