Iron Speciation Paleoredox Proxy

In one form or another, iron speciation has had a long history as a paleoredox proxy. This Element covers the theory behind the proxy, methods involved in applying the technique, and potential complications in interpreting Fe speciation data.

List of contents

1. Introduction; 2. Systematics of the Fe Speciation Paleoredox Proxy; 3. Methodology; 4. Case Studies; 5. Outlook; 6. Key Papers.

About the author

Professor Simon Poulton is Chair of Biogeochemistry and Earth History at the University of Leeds. Originally trained as a geologist, his research focuses on geochemical and biogeochemical processes in modern sediments and waters, with a view to applying this understanding to ancient environments.
