Vanadium isotope fractionation during plutonic differentiation and implications for the isotopic composition of the upper continental crust (2024)
Journal Article
Stow, M. A., Prytulak, J., Humphreys, M. C., Hammond, S. J., & Nowell, G. M. (2024). Vanadium isotope fractionation during plutonic differentiation and implications for the isotopic composition of the upper continental crust. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 643, Article 118825. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2024.118825

The analysis of emerging stable isotopic systems in clastic sedimentary rocks is increasingly used to determine the average composition of the upper continental crust through geological time. Any temporal variations can then be linked to global-scale...

No V-Fe-Zn isotopic variation in basalts from the 2021 Fagradalsfjall eruption (2023)
Journal Article
Stow, M., Prytulak, J., Burton, K., Nowell, G., Marshall, E., Halldórsson, S., …Caracciolo, A. (2023). No V-Fe-Zn isotopic variation in basalts from the 2021 Fagradalsfjall eruption. Geochemical perspectives letters, 27, 54-58. https://doi.org/10.7185/geochemlet.2335

The Earth’s mantle is chemically heterogeneous in space and time, which is often reflected by variable isotopic compositions of mantle derived basalts. Basalts from the first 40 days of the 2021 Fagradalsfjall eruption, Reykjanes Peninsula, Iceland,... Read More about No V-Fe-Zn isotopic variation in basalts from the 2021 Fagradalsfjall eruption.

Integrated Petrological and Fe-Zn Isotopic Modelling of Plutonic Differentiation (2021)
Journal Article
Stow, M. A., Prytulak, J., Humphreys, M. C., & Nowell, G. M. (2022). Integrated Petrological and Fe-Zn Isotopic Modelling of Plutonic Differentiation. Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 320, 366-391. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gca.2021.12.018

The upper continental crust is formed from chemically diverse granitic plutons. Active debate surrounds the range of physical conditions (P-T-X-fO2) and differentiation processes which occur in mush bodies that solidify to form plutons. Transition me...
