The energy transition challenges faced by modern civilization have significantly enhanced
the demand for critical metals like lithium resulting in improved methods to explore, extract …

Geochemists have long considered Li isotope composition of marine carbonates as one of
the most straightforward oceanic archives, tracing climate regulation by continental silicate …

Earth's persistent habitability since the Archean remains poorly understood. Using an
oxygen isotope ensemble approach—comprising shale, iron oxide, carbonate, silica, and …

Early marine and meteoric diagenesis is commonly proposed to alter the primary
geochemical signals of shallow-marine carbonates, hindering their use as a reliable archive …

Lithium isotope (δ 7 Li) variations in marine carbonate sediments and rocks have been
widely used to reconstruct global seawater Li isotope compositions and then trace the paleo …

Abstract The terminal Ediacaran (∼ 551–541 Ma) was a critical period in Earth's history
witnessing the coupled evolution of tectonism, climate, marine environment, and …

The snowball Earth hypothesis predicts that continental chemical weathering diminished
substantially during, but rebounded strongly after, the Marinoan ice age some 635 Mya …

We present comprehensive Li-C-Sr isotopic studies on two classic marine carbonate
sections (Yangdi and Dongcun) transecting the Late Devonian Frasnian-Famennian (F …

Understanding the role of silicate weathering in controlling the long-term carbon cycle is
essential in exploring multi-million-year scale climate variabilities and links to tectonics and …

Shallow water carbonates are extensively utilized as archives for reconstructing past
seawater chemistry and understanding global geochemical cycles. However, their reliability …
