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 …

Thallium is a non essential and highly toxic metal listed by USEPA and the European Water
Framework Directive as a priority pollutant. It is present in the environment mainly as Tl (I) …

The nine editions of Stable Isotope Geochemistry have appeared over a time span of nearly
50 years. The first edition (1973) appeared as a slim book of 135 pages. Due to the rapid …

Equilibrium stable isotope fractionations of mercury and thallium are estimated for
molecules, atoms and ions using first-principles vibrational frequency and electronic …

Considered esoteric only a few years ago, research into the stable isotope geochemistry of
transition metals is moving into the geoscience mainstream. Although initial attention …

Late Archaean sedimentary rocks contain compelling geochemical evidence for episodic
accumulation of dissolved oxygen in the oceans along continental margins before the Great …

Uranium is the heaviest naturally occurring element and isotope fractionation between 235U
and 238U is not normally considered significant given the small∼ 1% difference in mass. It …

The rise of molecular oxygen (O2) in the atmosphere and oceans was one of the most
consequential changes in Earth's history. While most research focuses on the Great …

Research on rivers has traditionally involved concentration and flux measurements to better
understand weathering, transport and cycling of materials from land to ocean. As a relatively …

Thallium is a highly poisonous heavy metal. Since Tl pollution control has been neglected
worldwide until the present, countless Tl pollutants have been discharged into the …
