Copper, a native metal found in ores, is the principal metal in bronze and brass. It is a
reddish metal with a density of 8920 kg m− 3. All of copper's compounds tend to be brightly …

Tracking the final fate of subducting carbon is crucial to understanding global carbon cycles
and climate changes in the history of the Earth. Available geochemical tracers such as …

The nine editions of Stable Isotope Geochemistry have appeared over a time span of nearly
50 years. The first edition (1973) appeared as a slim book of 135 pages. Due to the rapid …

The most abundant components of primitive meteorites (chondrites) are millimeter-sized
glassy spherical chondrules formed by transient melting events in the solar protoplanetary …

The terrestrial planets are depleted in volatile elements with respect to chondritic meteorites,
their possible building blocks. However, the timing, extent and origin of volatile depletion is …

A large set of zinc (Zn) stable isotope data for continental basalts from eastern China were
reported to investigate the application of Zn isotopes as a new tracer of deep carbonate …

ISOTOPE GEOCHEMISTRY Provides a thorough and up-to-date overview of radiogenic and
stable isotope geochemistry Now in its second edition, Isotope Geochemistry presents a …

Isotope ratios of heavy elements vary on the 1/10000 level in high temperature materials,
providing a fingerprint of the processes behind their origin. Ensuring that the measured …

The zinc (Zn) stable isotope system has great potential for tracing planetary formation and
differentiation processes due to its chalcophile, lithophile and moderately volatile character …

Deep carbon cycle is crucial for mantle dynamics and maintaining Earth's habitability.
