Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) has been successfully applied for multi-element and isotopic analyses in a wide variety of solid …
Iron is a remarkable element in its relatively high abundance for its mass and its sensitivity to (and control of) redox on a planetary scale over geologic time. Numerous volumes have …
Mineral zoning is used in diffusion-based geospeedometry to determine magmatic timescales. Progress in this field has been hampered by the challenge to discern mineral …

The nature of ocean redox chemistry between the Cryogenian Sturtian and Marinoan glaciations (ca. 663–654 Ma) is important for understanding the relationship between …
Understanding the origin and evolution of life on Earth and potentially other planets in our solar system is of fundamental interest for humanity. For the longest time in Earth's history …

The variation in the iron isotopic composition (δ 56 Fe) of sedimentary pyrite is often interpreted to reflect the degree of Fe redox cycling in modern and ancient environments …
Concentrically laminated pyrite is a relatively common, although volumetrically minor, component of auriferous conglomerates in the Archaean (ca. 3.0–2.7 Ga) Witwatersrand …
We have developed a new calibration technique for multielement determination and U-Pb dating of zircon samples using laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry …
