Abstract The 176 Lu–176 Hf radioactive decay system has been widely used to study
planetary crust–mantle differentiation. Of considerable utility in this regard is zircon, a …

The base of Earth's critical zone (CZ) is commonly shielded from study by many meters of
overlying rock and regolith. Though deep CZ processes may seem far removed from the …

Rivers transfer terrestrial organic carbon (OC) from mountains to ocean basins, playing a
key role in the global carbon cycle. During fluvial transit, OC may be oxidized and emitted to …

Many diagrams conventionally used to classify igneous rocks utilize mobile elements, which
commonly renders them unreliable for classifying rocks from the geological record. The K2O …

We report Li isotope composition (δ 7 Li) of river-borne dissolved and solid material in the
largest River system on Earth, the Amazon River basin, to characterize Li isotope …

Of course such a book as we propose here is not the product of just two people working
together, although the experience has been a great pleasure for us. We would like to thank …

Studying how catchment erosion has responded to past climate change can help us better
understand not only how landscape evolution operates, but also predict the consequences …

The erosion of major mountain ranges is thought to be largely cannibalistic, recycling
sediments that were deposited in the ocean or on the continents prior to mountain uplift …

The Hong (Red) River drains the prominent Red River Fault Zone that has experienced
various tectonic activities—intrusion of magma, exhumation of basement rocks, and influx of …

Redox-sensitive detrital grains such as pyrite and uraninite in sedimentary successions
provide one of the most conspicuous geological clues to a different composition of the …
