Heavy Stable Isotopes: From Crystals To Planets
December 2021, Vol. 17, No. 6
Since their discovery in 1913, stable isotopes have become formidable tracers of physicochemical processes at all scales. Steady advances in mass spectrometry have allowed isotopic inquiries to move from the so-called “traditional” systems (i.e., H, C, N, O, and S) to heavier “non traditional” systems (e.g., Fe, Mo, Ti, Zr, U) whose diverse geochemical characteristics are providing novel and complementary insights. Moving from micron-size systems (single crystals) to planetary-size bodies, the articles in this issue explore the enormous range of temporal and physical scales over which heavy stable isotopes have provided paradigm-shifting insights into the evolution of our planet and solar system. We also highlight new frontiers where novel stable isotope systematics appear particularly promising for unraveling longstanding questions.
