Volcanism is a dominant natural source of mercury (Hg) to the atmosphere, biosphere, ocean and sediments. In recent years, sedimentary Hg contents have emerged as a tool to …
As the parent element in the U-Pb and Pb-Pb radiochronometers, uranium (U) was one of the first heavy elements whose isotopic composition was carefully determined. Thought to …
The end-Triassic extinction (ETE) ranks as one of the 'Big Five'biotic crises of the Phanerozoic and is thought to be triggered by volcanism of the Central Atlantic Magmatic …
The uranium isotope composition (δ 238 U) of seawater is a powerful proxy for the extent of marine anoxia. For paleoredox reconstructions, carbonates are the most popular U isotope …
Abstract A Tremadocian (Early Ordovician, base Stairsian North American Stage) mass extinction event is recorded globally in rocks from several ancient continents and is …
The elemental concentrations and isotope compositions of molybdenum (Mo) and uranium (U) are commonly used for the reconstruction of past global and local redox conditions, and …

Abstract The eastern Mediterranean Sea (EMS) sedimentary record is periodically interspersed with organic-rich 'sapropel'layers. Sapropels are characteristic of basin-wide …
Abstract The Late Ordovician mass extinction (LOME) is the first major mass extinction event in the Phanerozoic. However, global biodiversity started to decline during the Katian (prior to …
Uranium (U) isotope signatures (δ 238 U) recorded in sedimentary archives provide insight into the paleo redox state of the ocean. But the robust interpretation of these sedimentary U …
