December 2009 • Low-Temperature Metal Stable Isotope Geochemistry
Guest Editors: Thomas D. Bullen (U.S. Geological Survey)
During the past decade it has been recognized that the stable isotope compositions of several metallic elements vary significantly in nature due to both biotic and abiotic processing. While this leap in our understanding has been fueled by recent advances in instrumentation and techniques in both thermal ionization and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, the field of metal stable isotope geochemistry has finally moved beyond a focus on development of analytical techniques and toward using the isotopes as source and process tracers in natural and experimental systems. Often termed the “non-traditional stable isotopes,” metal stable isotope systems have found wide application in the geological, hydrological, and environmental research realms and are enjoying a rapidly expanding presence in the scientific literature. This issue of Elements will focus on several intriguing aspects of low-temperature metal stable isotope geochemistry.
