Concentration‐discharge relationships of dissolved rhenium in Alpine catchments reveal its use as a tracer of oxidative weathering (2021)
Journal Article
Hilton, R. G., Turowski, J. M., Winnick, M., Dellinger, M., Schleppi, P., Williams, K. H., …Hayton, A. (2021). Concentration‐discharge relationships of dissolved rhenium in Alpine catchments reveal its use as a tracer of oxidative weathering. Water Resources Research, 57(11), Article e2021WR029844. https://doi.org/10.1029/2021wr029844

Oxidative weathering of sedimentary rocks plays an important role in the global carbon cycle. Rhenium (Re) has been proposed as a tracer of rock organic carbon (OCpetro) oxidation. However, the sources of Re and its mobilization by hydrological proce...

Fractionation of rhenium isotopes in the Mackenzie River basin during oxidative weathering (2021)
Journal Article
Dellinger, M., Hilton, R. G., & Nowell, G. M. (2021). Fractionation of rhenium isotopes in the Mackenzie River basin during oxidative weathering. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 573, Article 117131. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2021.117131

Rhenium (Re) is a trace element whose redox chemistry makes it an ideal candidate to trace a range of geochemical processes. Here, we report the first rhenium isotopic measurements (Re) from river-borne materials to assess the influence of chemical w...

Temperature control on CO2 emissions from the weathering of sedimentary rocks (2021)
Journal Article
Soulet, G., Hilton, R. G., Garnett, M. H., Roylands, T., Klotz, S., Croissant, T., …Le Bouteiller, C. (2021). Temperature control on CO2 emissions from the weathering of sedimentary rocks. Nature Geoscience, 14(9), 665-671. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41561-021-00805-1

Sedimentary rocks can release carbon dioxide (CO2) during the weathering of rock organic carbon and sulfide minerals. This sedimentary carbon could act as a feedback on Earth’s climate over millennial to geological timescales, yet the environmental c...

Constraints on the source of reactive phases in sediment from a major Arctic river using neodymium isotopes (2021)
Journal Article
Larkin, C. S., Piotrowski, A. M., Hindshaw, R. S., Bayon, G., Hilton, R. G., Baronas, J. J., …Tipper, E. T. (2021). Constraints on the source of reactive phases in sediment from a major Arctic river using neodymium isotopes. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 565, Article 116933. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2021.116933

Riverine suspended particulate matter (SPM) is essential for the delivery of micronutrients such as iron (Fe) to the oceans. SPM is known to consist of multiple phases with differing reactivity, but their role in the delivery of elements to the ocean...
