When rock is converted to weathering products, the involved processes can be fingerprinted using the stable isotope ratios of metals (for example Li, Mg, Ca, Fe, Sr) and metalloids (B,...

The reaction of CO2 hydration/dehydration controls the oxygen isotopic composition in both carbonate minerals and atmospheric CO2 through the exchange of oxygen isotopes with water. The use of δ18O as...

A mechanism is presented which explains how intra-continental rifting can cause large topographic uplift. The effect is sufficient to account for the uplift of rift flanks and the very high...

We investigated how monazite grains in country rocks responded to the intrusion of the Miocene Searchlight pluton in southern Nevada. Country rock samples were collected from the roof zone and...
