Copper, a native metal found in ores, is the principal metal in bronze and brass. It is a
reddish metal with a density of 8920 kg m− 3. All of copper's compounds tend to be brightly …

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 …

Copper and Zn metals are produced in large quantities for different applications. During Cu
production, large amounts of Cu and Zn can be released to the environment. Therefore, the …

The fractionation of stable copper (C u) isotopes during uptake into plant roots and
translocation to shoots can provide information on C u acquisition mechanisms. Isotope …

Stable mercury (Hg) isotope ratios are an emerging tracer for biogeochemical
transformations in environmental systems, but their application requires knowledge of …

Zn isotopes were used to trace the anthropogenic sources in the Lot watershed (Aveyron,
SW France) where a small river, the Riou Mort drains an industrial exploitation of zinc ore …

The distribution of Mo between seawater and marine ferromanganese oxides has great
impacts on concentration and isotopic composition of Mo in modern oxic seawater. To reveal …

Natural variations in the isotopic composition of some 50 chemical elements are now being
used in geochemistry for studying transport processes, estimating temperature …

The use of zinc isotopes to trace anthropogenic sources in coastal areas has been tested in
this study. We determined the stable isotopic composition of zinc in sediment cores …

The stable isotope compositions of Cu and Zn in major geochemical reservoirs are
increasingly studied with the aim to develop these isotope systems as tools to investigate the …
