Major and trace element composition of the depleted MORB mantle (DMM)
R. Workman,Stanley R. Hart +1 more
TL;DR: Asimow et al. as mentioned in this paper derived an estimate for the chemical composition of the depleted MORB mantle (DMM), the source reservoir to mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORBs), which represents at least 30% the mass of the whole silicate Earth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Least squares fitting of a straight line with correlated errors
TL;DR: In this paper, the fitting of a straight line when both variables are subject to crrors is generalized to allow for correlation of the z and y errors, illustrated by reference to lead isochron fitting.
Journal ArticleDOI
IsoplotR: A free and open toolbox for geochronology
TL;DR: The basic principles of radiometric geochronology as implemented in a new software package called IsoplotR, which was designed to be free, flexible and future-proof, are reviewed.

Handbook of methods for the analysis of the various parameters of the carbon dioxide system in sea water. Version 2
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a survey of the state-of-the-art for ship-board measurements of oceanic carbon dioxide in sea water, together with standard operating procedures and a quality control plan for measurements made as part of this survey.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon isotopic fractionation in synthetic aragonite and calcite: Effects of temperature and precipitation rate
TL;DR: In this article, an open-system chemostat technique was employed to study temperature and precipitation rate effects on carbon isotopic fractionation during the inorganic precipitation of aragonite and calcite from solutions held at constant chemical and isotopic composition.

LIII. On lines and planes of closest fit to systems of points in space
TL;DR: This paper is concerned with the construction of planes of closest fit to systems of points in space and the relationships between these planes and the planes themselves.
