Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) combines plasma chemistry, which
produces singly charged elemental ions, with mass spectrometric detection. Unlike other …

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 …

The Pacific Centre for Isotopic and Geochemical Research (PCIGR) at the University of
British Columbia has undertaken a systematic analysis of the isotopic (Sr, Nd, and Pb) …

We describe an in situ method for simultaneous measurement of U–Pb–Hf isotopes and
trace element compositions of zircons using a quadrupole and multiple-collector inductively …

Whatever your ICP-MS experience, you probably know that there are many textbooks
compiled and edited by academics that approach ICP-MS from a purely theoretical and …

We report detailed high precision combined single grain U-Pb and Lu-Hf studies of early
zircons to obtain more reliable indications of the extent of mantle depletion and crustal …

To facilitate the measurement of U–Th isotopic compositions suitable for high-precision and
high-resolution 230Th dating of coral and speleothem carbonates, secondary electron …

High-precision measurements of natural variations in the stable isotopic composition of
mercury show great promise as a new tracer of mercury sources and chemical …

We synthesize more than 2600 Hf isotope data on the Archean-Paleoproterozoic zircons
from the North China Craton (NCC). Recalculation of the data based on single stage and …
