Iron geochemistry: an isotopic perspective / Геохимия железа: изотопная перспектива

Iron is a remarkable element in its relatively high abundance for its mass and its sensitivity to (and control of) redox on a planetary scale over geologic time. Numerous volumes have been written on iron geochemistry, and here we provide an in-depth review of iron geochemistry from the isotopic perspective. Stable iron isotope geochemistry is a relatively new field, belonging to what is sometimes called “non-traditional” stable isotopes. There have been a number of reviews of this field of isotope geochemistry, the most recent of which is found in Teng et al. (2017) in their Reviews in Mineralogy and Geochemistry volume 82, published by the Mineralogical Society of America and the Geochemical Society. In chapter 11 of this volume, Dauphas et al. (2017) review iron isotope systematics. <...>
