Molecular phylogeneticists often find that a diversification of western Chinese plant taxa took place in the Miocene and link this to the Neogene uplift of the Tibetan Plateau. This link is made despite abundant geological evidence showing that a hig...

Cu and Zn isotope fractionation during extreme chemical weathering (2019)
Journal Article
Little, S. H., Munson, S., Prytulak, J., Coles, B. J., Hammond, S. J., & Widdowson, M. (2019). Cu and Zn isotope fractionation during extreme chemical weathering. Geochimica et cosmochimica acta, 263, 85-107. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gca.2019.07.057

Copper and Zn are trace metal micronutrients whose stable isotope systematics are receiving increasing attention as possible paleoenvironmental tracers. However, to realise this potential, their behaviour during chemical weathering must be better con... Read More about Cu and Zn isotope fractionation during extreme chemical weathering.

Flood basalt volcanism represented by the Kalkarindji Province (Australia) is temporally associated with a trilobite mass extinction at the Cambrian Series 2 – Series 3 boundary, providing one of the oldest potential links between volcanism and bioti...
