Non-Traditional Stable Isotopes

Project Objectives

The objectives of this project are to conduct research into several aspects of non-traditional stable isotopes, with a particular focus on their relation to ore deposit formation and weathering. Studies focus on questions about sources, mobility, and fixation of metals in both ore deposits and weathering products. Experiments will be conducted to better understand the parameters and biogeochemical transformations for stable metal isotopes involved in ore deposit formation, weathering, and element dispersion.
