Abstract LA-ICP-MS and LA-MC-ICP-MS have been the techniques of choice for achieving
accurate and precise element content and isotopic ratio, the state-of-the-art technique …

The abundance of nitrogen compounds, phosphorous compounds and organic matter in
biofloc technology (BFT) aquaculture systems creates an ideal medium for increasing …

Zircon is the most useful mineral for studies in U-Pb geochronology and Hf and O isotope
geochemistry. Matrix effect is a major problem of the microbeam techniques such as SIMS …

Currently, laser ablation multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-
MC-ICP-MS) is a prominent and powerful method for in situ isotopic analysis. It provides …

Establishing when modern-style plate tectonics with deep subduction began on Earth is one
of the biggest questions in geosciences today. A lack of Archean age (> 2.5 billion y ago …

The geodynamic processes that formed Earth's earliest continents are intensely debated.
Particularly, the transformation from ancient crustal nuclei into mature Archaean cratons is …

Abstract We report Neoproterozoic (ca. 785-780 Ma) granites from the western margin of the
Yangtze Block that are characterised by magmatic zircons with δ 18 O values as low as …

Abstract Zircon U–Pb–Lu–Hf–O isotopic compositions of two granitic gneisses from the
Kongling Terrain in the Yangtze Craton, South China were determined by SIMS, LA-ICP-MS …

In this paper we present new zircon U–Pb ages, Hf isotope data, and whole-rock major and
trace element data for Early Mesozoic intrusive rocks in the Erguna Massif of NE China, and …

A potential zircon reference material (BB zircon) for laser ablation‐inductively coupled
plasma‐mass spectrometry (LA‐ICP‐MS) U‐Pb geochronology and Hf isotope geochemistry …
