Magnesium (Mg) has an atomic number of 12 and belongs to the alkaline earth element
(Group II) of the Periodic Table. The pure Mg is a silvery white metal and has a melting point …

The dissolution rates of olivine have been considered by a plethora of studies in part due to
its potential to aid in carbon storage and the ease in obtaining pure samples for laboratory …

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 …

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 …

The isotopic systems of boron and magnesium are increasingly being used as proxies for a
number of environmental variables and processes. The isotopic composition of seawater for …

The silicon isotope composition of biogenic silica (δ 30 Si BSi) in the ocean is a function of
the δ 30 Si of the available dissolved Si (DSi; H 2 SiO 4), the degree of utilisation of the …

Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

Magnesium isotopic compositions of a profile through saprolites developed on a diabase
dike from South Carolina have been measured in order to study the behavior of Mg isotopes …

Plant nutrients can be recycled through microbial decomposition of organic matter but
replacement of base cations and phosphorus, lost through harvesting of biomass/biofuels or …

We present whole rock Li and Mg isotope analyses of 33 ultramafic xenoliths from the
terrestrial mantle, which we compare with analyses of 30 (mostly chondritic) meteorites. The …
