Journal ArticleDOI
Global silicate weathering and CO2 consumption rates deduced from the chemistry of large rivers
TL;DR: In this article, newly compiled data on the 60 largest rivers of the world are used to calculate the contribution of main lithologies, rain and atmosphere to river dissolved loads, and the relationship between the chemical weathering rates of silicates and the possible controlling parameters are explored.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the role of smaller blocks in the accretion of the continental mosaic is emphasized, and subduction related granitoids representing mixtures of mantle and crustal components and anatectic granitoid have been analyzed and dated.
Journal ArticleDOI
143Nd/146Nd, a natural tracer: an application to oceanic basalts*
TL;DR: In this paper, the possibility of using 143Nd/146Nd as a natural tracer was examined by analyzing two Hercynian granitic rocks, one carbonatite, three alkali basalts and nine tholeiites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Basalt weathering laws and the impact of basalt weathering on the global carbon cycle
TL;DR: In this paper, the chemical weathering of basalts and the flux of carbon transferred from the atmosphere to the ocean during this major process at the surface of the Earth were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative models of trace element behavior in magmatic processes
Claude J. Allègre,J. F. Minster +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the present status of the utilization of trace elements in igneous processes, which acknowledges the deep-seated conviction of Paul Gast that the trace element approach was at least as powerful as experimental petrology to solve the major petrological problems.
