The nine editions of Stable Isotope Geochemistry have appeared over a time span of nearly
50 years. The first edition (1973) appeared as a slim book of 135 pages. Due to the rapid …

Major geodynamic processes, including mantle convection and plate tectonics, govern the
exchange of mass between Earth's interior and its surface. These processes drive mass …

Ca isotope geochemistry has great potential for improving our understanding of magmatic
systems and for tracing the deep Earth carbon cycle. There are still many open questions …

Lithological and isotopic heterogeneity in the mantle archive the mantle's melting history and
fingerprint crustal recycling processes coupling the deep Earth with the terrestrial biosphere …

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 …

This chapter explores the growing body of stable and radiogenic Ca isotope measurements
in high temperature terrestrial materials and covers the emerging applications for Ca isotope …

Marine carbonates, the major carrier of carbon upon the upper crust, can be subducted into
the Earth's interior along with oceanic crust, and then returned to the surface through …

The cratonic lithosphere–asthenosphere boundary is commonly invoked as the site of
sheared peridotite and megacryst formation, a well-recognized petrological assemblage …

Continents are unique to Earth and played a role in coevolution of the atmosphere,
hydrosphere, and biosphere. Debate exists, however, regarding continent formation and the …

The geochemistry of global mantle melts suggests that both mid-ocean ridge basalts
(MORB) and ocean island basalts (OIB) sample lithological and temperature heterogeneities …
