In contrast to many other stable isotopes of the elements discussed in this book, those of
silicon are not strictly speaking “Non-Traditional Stable Isotopes” because they have been …

Silicon (Si) is the defining element of silicate reservoirs yet, despite its dominance in major
Earth processes, there is still no clear understanding of how much is hosted in Earth's core …

Knowledge of the weathering processes controlling continental transfer of dissolved silicon
(DSi) to the ocean is fundamental to the estimate of the long-term atmospheric CO2-budget …

We present a high precision method to measure Ba isotopes by multiple-collector inductively
coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (MC-ICP-MS). Barium is separated from matrices by …

Dissolved silicon isotope compositions have been analysed for the first time in pore waters
(δ 30 Si PW) of three short sediment cores from the Peruvian margin upwelling region with …

The upper continental crust (UCC) is the major source of silicon (Si) to the oceans and yet its
isotopic composition is not well constrained. In an effort to investigate the degree of …

Serpentine alteration is recognized as an important process for element cycling, however,
related silicon fluxes are unknown. Pore fluids from serpentinite seamounts sampled in the …

The ice-covered period of large Arctic rivers is shortening. To what extent will this affect
biogeochemical processing of nutrients? Here we reveal, with silicon isotopes (δ30Si), a key …

An analytical protocol for accurate in-situ Si stable isotope analysis has been established on
a new second-generation custom-built femtosecond laser ablation system. The laser was …

Benthic fluxes of dissolved silicon (Si) from sediments into the water column are driven by
the dissolution of biogenic silica (bSiO 2) and terrigenous Si minerals and modulated by the …
