Molybdenum As a Paleoredox Proxy - Past, Present, and Future

In this Element, we propose a refinement of molybdenum (Mo) geochemistry within aquatic systems, ancient rocks, and modern sediments through molecular geochemistry. Specifically, to intermediate sulfide concentrations governing Mo behavior below the "switch-point" and dominant sequestration pathways in low oxygen conditions.

List of contents

1. Introduction; 2. Refining redox conditions; 3. Molybdenum speciation; 4. Molybdenum isotopes; 5. Research gaps; 6. Future research directions; 7. Recommended reading.
