The emergence and diversification of early animals is commonly thought to have coincided
with atmosphere and ocean oxygenation across the terminal Neoproterozoic and early …

The early diversification of animals (∼ 630 Ma), and their development into both motile and
macroscopic forms (∼ 575–565 Ma), has been linked to stepwise increases in the …

Trace metal enrichments in sedimentary deposits are of prime interest because they are
governed by processes that also control the production and preservation of organic matter …

The oceanic biogeochemical cycles of the transition metals have been eliciting considerable
attention for some time. Many of them have isotope systems that are fractionated by key …

To improve estimates of the extent of ocean oxygenation during the late Ediacaran Period,
we measured the U and Mo isotope compositions of euxinic (anoxic and sulfidic) organic …

Any effort to reconstruct Earth history using variations in authigenic enrichments of redox-
sensitive and biogeochemically important trace metals must rest on a fundamental …

Land to ocean transfer of material largely controls the chemical composition of seawater and
the global element cycles. Overall this transfer is dominated by the riverine transport of …

Molybdenum isotopes are increasingly widely applied in Earth Sciences. They are primarily
used to investigate the oxygenation of Earth's ocean and atmosphere. However, more and …

The molybdenum (Mo) stable isotope system has been applied to a variety of geochemical
and environmental problems. In the absence of a universally accepted zero-delta reference …
