We integrated K-feldspar Pb with apatite U–Pb and trace elements to assess the reliability of common Pb corrections Igneous or high-grade metamorphic apatite shares common Pb reservoirs with K-fe...

Continental crust is important for Earth’s habitability. This Review explores how the formation and stabilization of Earth’s early continental crust was modulated by internal and external factors such...

Zircon preserves evidence of recycling processes that link surface environments to the mantle. Combined δ18O-εHf in zircon fingerprints magmatic sources and tracks how crustal material is reworked ov....

New natural high REE/Hf zircon reference material for in situ Hf isotopic measurement. Hf isotope ratio is independent of zircon textural domains. Stable Hf isotope ratio despite Pb and REE variabil.....

Melting of sanukitoid-infused basement beneath greenstone roots produced lithium-rich granites and lithium-pegmatite in the Australian Archean Cratons, according to an analysis of geochemical and isot...

Hundreds of millions of years ago, rocks crushed under kilometres of ice injected vital nutrients into Earth’s oceans.

The crater dates back 3.5 billion years, making it the oldest known by more than a billion years.
