Tracing the impact of coastal water geochemistry on the Re-Os systematics of macroalgae: Insights from the basaltic terrain of Iceland (2018)
Journal Article
Sproson, A. D., Selby, D., Gannoun, A., Burton, K. W., Dellinger, M., & Lloyd, J. M. (2018). Tracing the impact of coastal water geochemistry on the Re-Os systematics of macroalgae: Insights from the basaltic terrain of Iceland. Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, 123(9), 2791-2806. https://doi.org/10.1029/2018jg004492

This study presents rhenium (Re) and osmium (Os) elemental and isotope data for macroalgae, dissolved load and bed load from Icelandic coastal and/or river waters, an environment adjacent to predominantly basaltic terrains, ranging in age from histor...

Mountain glaciation drives rapid oxidation of rock-bound organic carbon (2017)
Journal Article
Horan, K., Hilton, R., Selby, D., Ottley, C., Gröcke, D., Hicks, M., & Burton, K. (2017). Mountain glaciation drives rapid oxidation of rock-bound organic carbon. Science Advances, 3(10), Article e1701107. https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.1701107

Over millions of years, the oxidation of organic carbon contained within sedimentary rocks is one of the main sources of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, yet the controls on this emission remain poorly constrained. We use rhenium to track the oxidat... Read More about Mountain glaciation drives rapid oxidation of rock-bound organic carbon.

Highly siderophile element and 182W evidence for a partial late veneer in the source of 3.8 Ga rocks from Isua, Greenland (2016)
Journal Article
Dale, C., Kruijer, T., & Burton, K. (2017). Highly siderophile element and 182W evidence for a partial late veneer in the source of 3.8 Ga rocks from Isua, Greenland. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 458, 394-404. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2016.11.001

The higher-than-expected concentrations of highly siderophile elements (HSE) in Earth's mantle most likely indicate that Earth received a small amount of late accreted mass after core formation had ceased, known as the ‘late veneer’. Small 182W exces... Read More about Highly siderophile element and 182W evidence for a partial late veneer in the source of 3.8 Ga rocks from Isua, Greenland.

Titanium stable isotope investigation of magmatic processes on the Earth and Moon (2016)
Journal Article
Millet, M., Dauphas, N., Greberb, N., Burton, K., Dale, C., Debret, B., …Williams, H. (2016). Titanium stable isotope investigation of magmatic processes on the Earth and Moon. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 449, 197-205. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2016.05.039

We present titanium stable isotope measurements of terrestrial magmatic samples and lunar mare basalts with the aims of constraining the composition of the lunar and terrestrial mantles and evaluating the potential of Ti stable isotopes for understan...

Late accretion on the earliest planetesimals revealed by the highly siderophile elements (2012)
Journal Article
Dale, C., Burton, K., Greenwood, R., Gannoun, A., Wade, J., Wood, B., & Pearson, D. (2012). Late accretion on the earliest planetesimals revealed by the highly siderophile elements. Science, 336(6077), 72-75. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.1214967

Late accretion of primitive chondritic material to Earth, the Moon, and Mars, after core formation had ceased, can account for the absolute and relative abundances of highly siderophile elements (HSEs) in their silicate mantles. Here we show that sma... Read More about Late accretion on the earliest planetesimals revealed by the highly siderophile elements.

Highly siderophile element behaviour accompanying subduction of oceanic crust: Whole rock and mineral-scale insights from a high-pressure terrain (2009)
Journal Article
Dale, C., Burton, K., Pearson, D., Gannoun, A., Alard, O., Argles, T., & Parkinson, I. (2009). Highly siderophile element behaviour accompanying subduction of oceanic crust: Whole rock and mineral-scale insights from a high-pressure terrain. Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 73(5), 1394-1416. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gca.2008.11.036

Highly siderophile element concentrations (HSE: Re and platinum-group elements (PGE)) are presented for gabbros, gabbroic eclogites and basaltic eclogites from the high-pressure Zermatt–Saas ophiolite terrain, Switzerland. Rhenium and PGE (Os, Ir, Ru... Read More about Highly siderophile element behaviour accompanying subduction of oceanic crust: Whole rock and mineral-scale insights from a high-pressure terrain.
