New in Geochemical Perspectives

Big Picture Geochemistry from Microanalyses – My Four-Decade Odyssey in SIMS, by Nobumichi Shimizu
In this new Geochemical Perspectives, Nobumichi Shimizu recounts his personal story of how the ion microprobe became a powerful tool in geochemistry and how in situ trace element and isotope analysis techniques have been used in various ways in solid earth geochemistry. This is also the story of how micro-scale observations changed, and continue to change, our views on large-scale natural phenomena.

Q & A with the Goldschmidt Non-academic Careers Forum Panellists: Lewis Collins, Editor-in-Chief, One Earth
In a new initiative for Goldschmidt2019 (18-23 August 2019 – Barcelona, Spain), a series of lunchtime discussion forums will be held to give students and post-docs the opportunity to find out more about pursuing careers outside of academia. We have interviewed some of the panellists taking part and will be publishing them on the EAG Blogosphere in the coming weeks. In this first interview, Lewis Collins, Editor-in-Chief of the journal One Earth, talks about his job and the path he took into the world of scientific publishing.

Exchange catalysis during anaerobic methanotrophy revealed by 12CH2D2 and 13CH3D in methane
The anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) is a crucial component of the methane cycle, but quantifying its role in situ under dynamic environmental conditions remains challenging. We use sediment samples collected…

Thermodynamic controls on redox-driven kinetic stable isotope fractionation
Stable isotope fractionation arising from redox reactions has the potential to illuminate the oxygenation of Earth’s interior, oceans, and atmosphere. However, reconstruction of past and present redox conditions from stable isotope signatures is complicated by variable fractionations associated...

A lunar hygrometer based on plagioclase-melt partitioning of water
The Moon was initially covered by a magma ocean. Hydrogen detected in plagioclase of ferroan anorthosites, the only available samples directly crystallised from the lunar magma ocean (LMO), can be used to quantify LMO…

Onset of new, progressive crustal growth in the central Slave craton at 3.55 Ga
Ancient rock samples are limited, hindering the investigation of the processes operative on the Earth early in its history. Here we present a detailed study of well-exposed crustal remnants in the central Slave craton that formed over...
