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.

Rhenium elemental and isotopic variations at magmatic temperatures (2024)
Journal Article

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.
