The biogeochemical cycling of metals in natural systems is often accompanied by stable
isotope fractionation which can now be measured due to recent analytical advances. In …

Abstract Models test our understanding of processes and can reach beyond the spatial and
temporal scales of measurements. Multi-component Reactive Transport Models (RTMs) …

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 …

Silicon (Si) is the second most abundant element in the Earth's crust and is an important
nutrient in the ocean. The global Si cycle plays a critical role in regulating primary …

The fate of antimony (Sb) is strongly affected by adsorption, yet Sb isotope fractionation and
the associated mechanism have not been widely reported. Here we experimentally …

Isotope technology is an ideal tool for tracing the sources of certain pollutants or providing
insights into environmental processes. In recent years, the advent of multi-collector …

Dissolved silicon isotope compositions have been analysed for the first time in pore waters
(δ 30 Si PW) of three short sediment cores from the Peruvian margin upwelling region with …

In contrast to many other stable isotopes of the elements discussed in this book, those of
silicon are not strictly speaking “Non-Traditional Stable Isotopes” because they have been …

Nitrate contamination of water bodies is a serious concern in regions with intensive
agriculture. Previous studies, which only considered surface water and groundwater but not …

Serpentine alteration is recognized as an important process for element cycling, however,
related silicon fluxes are unknown. Pore fluids from serpentinite seamounts sampled in the …
