Composition of the Continental Crust
Roberta L. Rudnick,Shan Gao +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the present-day composition of the continental crust, the methods employed to derive these estimates, and the implications of continental crust composition for the formation of the continents, Earth differentiation, and its geochemical inventories are discussed.

The chemical composition of subducting sediment and its consequences for the crust and mantle
Terry Plank,Charles H. Langmuir +1 more
TL;DR: This article evaluated subducting sediments on a global basis in order to better define their chemical systematics and to determine both regional and global average compositions, and then used these compositions to assess the importance of sediments to arc volcanism and crust-mantle recycling, and to re-evaluate the chemical composition of the continental crust.
Journal ArticleDOI
Iron deficiency limits phytoplankton growth in the north-east Pacific subarctic
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported that the addition of nmol amounts of dissolved iron resulted in the nearly complete utilization of excess NO3, whereas in the controls, without added Fe, only 25% of the available NO3 was used.

The use of ionization potentials Part 1. Ionic radii of the elements
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that in normal isoelectronic sequences, Pauling type radii (univalent set) are to be recommended over those based entirely on interionic distance measurements.

The geochemistry of some igneous rock series
S. R. Nockolds,R. Allen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the distribution of some of the commoner trace elements with respect to the major elements in various igneous rock series is discussed. But the present communication deals with certain calc-alkali igneous rocks series, namely, the rocks of the Southern California batholith, the lavas of Lassen Peak, Crater Lake, the Lesser Antilles, the Medicine Lake Highlands and the East Central Sierra Nevada.
