Granite is one of the most important components of the continental crust on our Earth; it thus
has been an enduring studied subject in geology. According to present knowledge, granite …

Trace element compositions of zircon can be used to estimate the chemistry of their host
magmas; as such they provide a useful tool in zircon provenance, and in the assessment of …

Central to understanding the processes that drive stable isotope fractionation in nature is
their quantification under controlled experimental conditions. The polyvalent element iron …

The oldest known samples of Earth, with ages of up to 4.4 Gyr, are detrital zircon grains in
meta-sedimentary rocks of the Jack Hills in Australia. These zircons offer insights into the …

Zircon geochemistry provides a sensitive monitor of its parental magma composition.
However, due to the complexity of the uptake of trace elements during zircon growth …

Iron is the only polyvalent major element, and controls reduction–oxidation (redox) reactions
in a host of geologic processes and reservoirs, from the mineral-to planetary-scale, on Earth …

Partial melting is the fundamental process by which juvenile crust was produced from the
mantle and subsequently reworked to become the stable, compositionally-differentiated …

The upper continental crust (UCC) is an important reservoir of Ba within the Earth. We report
high precision (≤±0.05‰, 2SD) Ba isotopic data for 71 samples (including granites …

Stable Ca isotopes are an increasingly useful tool for understanding the sources and
processes leading to the formation of magmatic rocks, yet Ca isotope fractionation during …
