Summary: The isotopic composition of dissolved oxygen can be used as a tracer for respiration and transport in the subsurface ocean. However, uncertainties in transport parameters and isotopic fractionation factors limit its effectiveness. In this study, new data and a model were used to investigate the oxygen isotopologues in the subsurface Pacific. The results suggest that the traditional isotopic fingerprints associated with oxygen consumption in the Pacific Ocean may need to be reexamined.

Summary: The study evaluates the assumptions made in Delta(47) measurements by analyzing Delta O-17 in reference frame materials and standards. The results show that assuming Delta O-17 = 0 can lead to overestimation or underestimation of Delta(47) values, depending on the sample's Delta O-17 relative to the working gas. This effect can introduce significant errors in reconstructed temperatures, emphasizing the importance of considering Delta O-17 for accurate Delta(47) thermometry.

Summary: The study presents a three-year record of isotopic variability in central Andean precipitation, highlighting the negative correlation between elevation and delta O-18(p) values. Results show that seasonal variations in delta O-18(p) are influenced by upstream rainout and local convection. Both eastern- and western-derived air masses contribute to precipitation in southern Peru, and seasonal d-excess(p) cycles record moisture recycling and relative humidity at remote moisture sources.

Summary: The oxygen and hydrogen isotope composition of neoformed clay minerals in palaeosol samples were analyzed using NanoSIMS. The results showed that the technique is effective in determining the isotopic composition of the minerals and can be used to estimate past climatic conditions. This study demonstrates the potential applicability of NanoSIMS in palaeoclimatic research.

Summary: Cluster-assembled materials (CAMs) exhibit delicate structures with tailored properties, strongly dependent on the structure and coordination state of cluster building blocks. CAMs often display well-organized structures at the subnanometer scale, with application potentials lying in the cluster arrangements and interactions at this level.

Summary: The study introduces a new protocol for carbonates analysis using a laser calcination system, which reduces preparation steps and analysis time significantly while offering spatially resolved analysis at the mm scale. The new method based on a fiber-coupled laser diode device shows accurate and reproducible results for C and O isotopic characterization of natural carbonates. The study also demonstrates that physical effects during calcination do not introduce isotopic fractionation for C and a constant isotopic offset for O within a range of isotopic compositions and mineral matrices.

Summary: This study investigates the isotopic compositions of condensation water in Altamira Cave and finds that condensation water in the outer cave sectors show higher isotopic values during the cave ventilation period, while condensation water in the inner cave sectors have similar isotopic values with infiltration water and insignificant seasonal variability. These results are important for the management of Altamira Cave and for future investigations on condensation mechanisms in cavities elsewhere.

Summary: Under harsh Pleistocene climates, migration and seasonally patterned landscape use were critical for reproductive success of mastodons and other megafauna. Using isotopic analysis of a mastodon tusk, researchers found that the geographic ranges and mobility of the mastodon changed as it matured, with an increase in movement and the development of seasonal landscape use. The mastodon's death in northeast Indiana suggests that this area may have been important for mating and had regional significance for late Pleistocene mastodons.

Summary: Research indicates that sedimentary rocks and minerals formed during the late Archean Eon contain lower levels of Fe-56 compared to other periods, possibly due to factors such as very negative seawater delta Fe-56 values, shuttling of light Fe isotopes in redox-stratified environments, and pyrite formation in Fe(II)-rich oceans. These processes, along with evidence of Fe shuttle and pyrite formation, likely played a role in driving strong 56Fe depletions. The connection between severe Fe-56 depletions and distant euxinic settings suggests a persistent presence of a very negative global seawater delta Fe-56 value during the latest Archean, supporting the idea of a prolonged initial oxidation process on Earth.

Summary: Density functional theory studies suggest that high-spin triplet and quintet structures are energetically favorable for dimanganaboranes of first-row manganese, while flattened singlet structures are preferred for dimetallaboranes of third-row rhenium. The different peference might be attributed to the ligand field splittings in complexes of manganese and rhenium.

Summary: The synthesis of new iron-sulfur-based coordination polymers via solvothermal reactions has been successfully demonstrated, with the structures and magnetic properties of the compounds characterized. The CPs exhibited various chain motifs of iron held together by thiolate or mixed bridges, with different magnetic behaviors observed in different compounds.

Summary: Icelandic basalts have low oxygen isotope (δO-18) values, which may be attributed to the combination of crustal assimilation and mantle characteristics, with the latter being more significant. Measurements and analysis of olivine crystals from the Iceland hotspot, covering 16 Ma of activity, reveal that low δO-18 values are related to crustal processes. By filtering out data influenced by crustal assimilation, it is concluded that the low δO-18 values are derived from the Iceland mantle. Additionally, the study finds that the low δO-18 and low He-3/He-4 components have become increasingly apparent in the modern Iceland mantle, possibly due to enhanced mantle melting.

Summary: The stable isotopes of nitrogen (N) and oxygen (O) in soil and soil-respired N2O are being measured, but there is a lack of theoretical framework to interpret the data. This study uses a diffusion/reaction model to demonstrate how soil processes influence the profiles and fluxes of soil N2O and its isotopes. The results suggest that the isotope composition of soil N2O flux is dependent on the net flux rate and the difference in isotope composition between the atmosphere and the biological source.
