An accurate assessment of the bulk chemical composition of Mars is fundamental to
understanding planetary accretion, differentiation, mantle evolution, the nature of the …

Subduction at convergent margins introduces a range of sedimentary and crustal materials
into the mantle, providing the most dominant form of heterogeneity in the source of oceanic …

Comparing compositional models of the terrestrial planets provides insights into
physicochemical processes that produced planet-scale similarities and differences. The …

Arc magmas are important building blocks of the continental crust. Because many arc lavas
are oxidized, continent formation is thought to be associated with oxidizing conditions. On …

From Harvard University to the University of Miami, the first edition of Chemical
Oceanography was a great success as a textbook. Now you can own the fully updated …

The trace element composition of olivine is a rapidly growing research area that has several
applications of great potential. Mantle olivines can be distinguished from volcanic olivines by …

The terrestrial planets are depleted in volatile elements with respect to chondritic meteorites,
their possible building blocks. However, the timing, extent and origin of volatile depletion is …

The zinc (Zn) stable isotope system has great potential for tracing planetary formation and
differentiation processes due to its chalcophile, lithophile and moderately volatile character …

We performed reaction experiments between partial melt of volatile-free MORB-eclogite and
volatile-free fertile peridotite at 2.5–3GPa, 1375° C and 1440° C. The fraction of added …

Zinc and Cd isotope compositions are presented for a comprehensive suite of terrestrial
rocks to constrain the extent of Zn and Cd isotope fractionation during igneous processes …
