Sulfur isotopes—Use for stratigraphy during times of rapid perturbations (2019)
Book Chapter
Yao, W., Wortmann, U. G., & Paytan, A. (2019). Sulfur isotopes—Use for stratigraphy during times of rapid perturbations. In M. Montenari (Ed.), Stratigraphy & Timescales (1-33). Elsevier. https://doi.org/10.1016/bs.sats.2019.08.004

The sulfur isotopic composition of seawater sulfate oscillates over geological time, responding to changes in the redox state and biogeochemical processes on the Earth's surface. During times of rapid perturbations in sulfur isotopes where biostratig... Read More about Sulfur isotopes—Use for stratigraphy during times of rapid perturbations.

Sr-isotope chronology of carbonate rocks: Quantifying the uncertainty of inversion (2019)
Book Chapter
Wan, R., Liu, W., McArthur, J. M., & Wang, Z. (2019). Sr-isotope chronology of carbonate rocks: Quantifying the uncertainty of inversion. In M. Montenari (Ed.), Stratigraphy & Timescales (35-72). Elsevier. https://doi.org/10.1016/bs.sats.2019.08.003

The ages of carbonate rocks can be determined by comparing their 87Sr/86Sr ratios with the well-established seawater 87Sr/86Sr curve. Current models and databases provide no explicit solution to the problem of accurately assigning uncertainties to de...

Isotope stratigraphy of Precambrian sedimentary rocks from Brazil: Keys to unlock Earth's hydrosphere, biosphere, tectonic, and climate evolution. In M. Montenari (Ed.), Timescales (73-132). Elsevier. https://doi.org/10.1016/bs.sats.2019.08.002

Brazil is a natural laboratory for the application of isotope stratigraphy tools on the study of Precambrian sedimentary successions, with excellent registers of Archean, Paleo, Meso, and Neoproterozoic age. Those successions witnessed the most extre...

The application of stable isotopes in stratigraphic studies is here demonstrated with selected sedimentary Brazilian sections from the Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic. In those different age-case we present the application of δ13Corg and carb, δ15Nt...

Computer modeling of Zircon (ZrSiO4)—Coffinite (USiO4) solid solutions and lead incorporation: Geological implications (2019)
Journal Article
Jackson, & Montenari. (2019). Computer modeling of Zircon (ZrSiO4)—Coffinite (USiO4) solid solutions and lead incorporation: Geological implications. https://doi.org/10.1016/bs.sats.2019.08.005

The structure of zircon, ZrSiO4 is modeled using interatomic potentials. The uranium end-member, coffinite (USiO4) and intermediate solid solutions of zircon and coffinite (UxZr1–xSiO4) are then modeled, allowing the prediction of lattice parameters...
