A fast double-stack chromatographic separation of germanium from silicate material for isotope analysis with MC-ICP-MS

Qasid Ahmad, Damien Cividini & Béatrice Luais Journal of Analytical Atomic Spectrometry, 41(3), 935–941 Voir en ligne : https://doi.org/10.1039/D5JA00471C Germanium (Ge) isotope measurements (δ74/70Ge relative to NIST3120a) have attracted increasing attention in geochemistry and cosmochemistry; however, analyses of silicate material with…

The importance of considering temperature- and composition-dependent partition coefficients in differentiation models

Toussaint A., France L. Lithos, Volumes 522–523, February 2026, 108395 Voir en ligne : https://doi.org/10.1016/j.lithos.2025.108395 Quantifying the parameters that govern magma differentiation is key to understanding the evolution of igneous systems. We present an approach combining thermodynamic modeling of magma differentiation…

Hidden Early Clinopyroxene Relicts Record Reactive Porous Flow in Oceanic Plutonic Series

Falc'Hun C., France L. Journal of Petrology, 2026, 67, egag004 Voir en ligne : https://doi.org/10.1093/petrology/egag004 Almost two-thirds of the Earth’s magmatic budget is concentrated at mid-ocean ridges, with 85% of this being emplaced as intrusive rocks. In these systems, now understood…
