Re-Os – Clock with Clout, August 2025, Vol. 21, No. 4
$20.00
The Re-Os isotope system is one of the most powerful tools in modern geochemistry, despite involving two of the rarest elements found within Earth’s silicate mantle. Known for their unique siderophile, chalcophile, and organophile behavior, rhenium (Re) and osmium (Os) provide scientists with exceptional capabilities for radiometric dating and geochemical source tracing. This remarkable isotope system helps researchers answer geological questions that cannot be resolved using other radiometric methods.

$20.00Phosphorus is a unique element: it is essential to the existence of all living forms, and as such controls biological productivity in many terrestrial and marine environments; but when in excess, it leads to uncontrollable biological growth and water-quality problems. This has become a common environmental issue, resulting from our careless use of phosphorus in agriculture, yet phosphate ore deposits, from which fertilizers are produced, are a finite natural resource.
