Abstract The Sm-Nd and Lu-Hf isotope tracer systems, applied to whole rocks or mineral
separates, have provided powerful insights into the formation, differentiation, and evolution …

Several studies have suggested that the Earth's upper mantle is slightly enriched in light
molybdenum isotopes relative to bulk Earth, defined by chondrites, but there is no …

The southern margin of the North China Craton (SNCC) contains 8 giant (> 0.5 Mt Mo

The continental crust of Europe west of the Trans-European Suture Zone (TESZ), is mostly a
collage of Peri-Gondwana Cadomian and Avalonian terranes that were formed on the late …

Geochemical data for basalts from the Garibaldi Volcanic Belt (northern segment of the
Cascade Arc) define arc-parallel gradients in trace elements and isotope ratios that extend …

The systematic acquisition of U–Pb geochronological data from detrital zircon grains has

Extensive morphological and age studies on more than 4600 detrital zircon grains
recovered from modern sands of Namibia reveal complex mechanisms of sediment …

Although most ocean island basalts (OIB) are enriched in incompatible elements relative to
mid-ocean ridge basalts, OIB depleted in these elements also occur on some islands. The …
