Earth’s oceanic crust is largely formed by melting of the upper mantle where it upwells beneath mid-ocean ridges, providing a geographically widespread elemental and isotopic ‘sample’ of Earth’s interior. Radiogenic isotope variations in oceanic basa... Read More about Mantle depletion recorded by olivine and plagioclase megacrysts in oceanic basalts.

Recent analytical advances in the measurement of rhenium (Re) isotope ratios allow its potential as a palaeoredox and chemical weathering proxy to be explored. However, a successful isotopic proxy must be grounded by an understanding of its compositi... Read More about Rhenium elemental and isotopic variations at magmatic temperatures.

Decoupling of inorganic and organic carbon during slab mantle devolatilisation (2022)
Journal Article

Serpentinites are an important sink for both inorganic and organic carbon, and their behavior during subduction is thought to play a fundamental role in the global cycling of carbon. Here we show that fluid-derived veins are preserved within the Zerm... Read More about Decoupling of inorganic and organic carbon during slab mantle devolatilisation.

Fossil records of early solar irradiation and cosmolocation of the CAI factory: A reappraisal (2021)
Journal Article

Calcium-aluminum–rich inclusions (CAIs) in meteorites carry crucial information about the environmental conditions of the nascent Solar System prior to planet formation. Based on models of 50V–10Be co-production by in-situ irradiation, CAIs are consi... Read More about Fossil records of early solar irradiation and cosmolocation of the CAI factory: A reappraisal.

The lithium isotope response to the variable weathering of soils in Iceland (2021)
Journal Article

This study has analysed Li isotopes ratios from well-studied soil and pore water profiles from Iceland that have the same parent material but have experienced different degrees of chemical weathering. Thus, from least to most weathered, we have analy... Read More about The lithium isotope response to the variable weathering of soils in Iceland.

Ge and Si isotope behavior during intense tropical weathering and ecosystem cycling (2020)
Journal Article

Chemical weathering of volcanic rocks in warm and humid climates contributes disproportionately to global solute fluxes. Geochemical signatures of solutes and solids formed during this process can help quantify and reconstruct weathering intensity in...
