报告内容简介：
The Archean and Mesozoic oceans had experienced episodic changes in redox conditions that were decoupled from redox conditions of the coeval atmosphere. Such “redox anomalies” of past oceans have significant bearing on evolution of the Earth’s habitability. Radiogenic and non-traditional stable isotopes no doubt can provide “novel” insights into these redox anomalies, but robust insights are only possible when behaviors of these proxies are adequately understood in well-constrained modern or laboratory settings. This talk will present some new results on a couple of different isotope systems (e.g., Nd, Si) from modern chemical oceanographic observations and laboratory experiments, and demonstrate how the new understanding of proxies can lead to a better understanding of “redox anomalies” of past oceans. In addition, this talk will also cover some on-going development of new analytical techniques and proxies at UW-Madison that can provide a range of exciting new opportunities for paleoceanographic studies.
