Chromium Isotope System As a Tracer of Ocean and Atmosphere Redox

The stable chromium (Cr) isotope system has emerged over the past decade as a new tool to track changes in the amount of oxygen in earth's ocean-atmosphere system. Cr isotopic signatures can provide novel insights into Cr redox cycling in both marine and terrestrial settings.

List of contents

1. Introduction; 2. Basics of Cr speciation and isotope fractionations; 3. A global Cr isotope mass balance?; 4. Seawater Cr isotope values; 5. The sedimentary Cr isotope record; 6. Summary and future directions.
