Samples returned from the asteroid Ryugu are uncontaminated and contain organic matter. Such samples enable an investigation of the processes that formed and altered extraterrestrial organic matter. Here, the FTIR and Raman responses of insoluble organic matter (IOM) isolated from Ryugu particles and carbonaceous chondrites are reported. Several relationships were observed: (1) a strong positive correlation of CH2/CH3 plotted against aliphatics/C=C; (2) a strong negative correlation of CH2/CH3 plotted against ƒÂ15N and ƒÂ13C; and (3) strong negative correlations of FTIR band ratios plotted against Raman band parameters and D/G values. The data are not consistent with even moderate heating of the IOM, as indicated by CH2/CH3 ratios that are consistent with unheated carbonaceous chondrites. The C and N isotope data previously collected for each Ryugu particle preclude aqueous alteration based on our understanding of its effects on carbonaceous chondrite IOM. Mixing of several IOM endmembers was considered, but due to the similarities of the particle with the lowest CH2/CH3 ratio to the other particles in terms of its other spectroscopic parameters, this scenario was considered unlikely. Finally, the effects of irradiation were considered, and UV irradiation, in particular, was hypothesised to be the best explanation for the trends observed. Overall, the data highlight the importance of comprehensive data sets for revealing extraterrestrial processes, which could define the nature of organic matter reaching habitable environments, such as those of the Early Earth. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=PotiszilChristian en-aut-sei=Potiszil en-aut-mei=Christian kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamanakaMasahiro en-aut-sei=Yamanaka en-aut-mei=Masahiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=OtaTsutomu en-aut-sei=Ota en-aut-mei=Tsutomu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=SakaguchiChie en-aut-sei=Sakaguchi en-aut-mei=Chie kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=KitagawaHiroshi en-aut-sei=Kitagawa en-aut-mei=Hiroshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=TanakaRyoji en-aut-sei=Tanaka en-aut-mei=Ryoji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=KunihiroTak en-aut-sei=Kunihiro en-aut-mei=Tak kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=KobayashiKatsura en-aut-sei=Kobayashi en-aut-mei=Katsura kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=NakamuraEizo en-aut-sei=Nakamura en-aut-mei=Eizo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Pheasant Memorial Laboratory, Institute for Planetary Materials, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Pheasant Memorial Laboratory, Institute for Planetary Materials, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Pheasant Memorial Laboratory, Institute for Planetary Materials, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Pheasant Memorial Laboratory, Institute for Planetary Materials, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Pheasant Memorial Laboratory, Institute for Planetary Materials, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Pheasant Memorial Laboratory, Institute for Planetary Materials, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Pheasant Memorial Laboratory, Institute for Planetary Materials, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=8 en-affil=Pheasant Memorial Laboratory, Institute for Planetary Materials, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=9 en-affil=Pheasant Memorial Laboratory, Institute for Planetary Materials, Okayama University kn-affil= END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=27 cd-vols= no-issue=5 article-no= start-page=e2026GC012945 end-page= dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2026 dt-pub=202605 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Chemical Geodynamics of Granitoid Magmatism During a Pacific�]Philippine Sea Plate Transition in Southwest Japan en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Granitoid magmatism along the western Pacific margin records interactions between subduction dynamics and crust?mantle processes; however, the links between plate reorganization and magma-source evolution remain debated. Here we integrate U?Pb zircon geochronology with Pb?Sr?Nd?Hf isotope systematics to investigate Cretaceous?Paleogene granitoids in Southwest Japan. Zircon U?Pb ages define two discrete magmatic episodes at 110?60 Ma and 45?30 Ma, separated by a magmatic hiatus of ?10?15 Myr. These granitoid groups exhibit distinct isotopic signatures, indicating derivation from isotopically distinct magma sources linked to the paleo-Pacific (Izanagi) plate and the Philippine Sea plate, respectively. Isotope-based mass-balance modeling indicates higher sediment contributions to the older granitoids, with decreasing sediment input both landward and through time. The magmatic lull at ca. 52?40 Ma coincides with an abrupt isotopic shift and is interpreted to reflect plate reorganization, during which subduction of the paleo-Pacific plate was replaced by a transform or highly oblique plate boundary associated with the northward migration of the proto?Philippine Sea plate. Independent constraints from convergence rates, sediment flux, and accretionary complex development support this interpretation. These results demonstrate that granitoid magmatism in Southwest Japan was fundamentally controlled by temporal changes in subducted lithosphere and sediment flux driven by plate reorganization, highlighting the sensitivity of arc magmatism to transient tectonic regimes. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=DaoNghiem V. en-aut-sei=Dao en-aut-mei=Nghiem V. kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=YemerTsegereda A. en-aut-sei=Yemer en-aut-mei=Tsegereda A. kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=MwaisubaTulibako T. en-aut-sei=Mwaisuba en-aut-mei=Tulibako T. kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=SakaguchiChie en-aut-sei=Sakaguchi en-aut-mei=Chie kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=KitagawaHiroshi en-aut-sei=Kitagawa en-aut-mei=Hiroshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=KobayashiKatsura en-aut-sei=Kobayashi en-aut-mei=Katsura kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=ImaokaTeruyoshi en-aut-sei=Imaoka en-aut-mei=Teruyoshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=NakamuraEizo en-aut-sei=Nakamura en-aut-mei=Eizo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=The Pheasant Memorial Laboratory for Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry, Institute for Planetary Materials, Okayama University at Misasa kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=The Pheasant Memorial Laboratory for Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry, Institute for Planetary Materials, Okayama University at Misasa kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=The Pheasant Memorial Laboratory for Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry, Institute for Planetary Materials, Okayama University at Misasa kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=The Pheasant Memorial Laboratory for Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry, Institute for Planetary Materials, Okayama University at Misasa kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=The Pheasant Memorial Laboratory for Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry, Institute for Planetary Materials, Okayama University at Misasa kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=The Pheasant Memorial Laboratory for Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry, Institute for Planetary Materials, Okayama University at Misasa kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Division of Earth Science, Graduate School of Sciences and Technology for Innovation, Yamaguchi University kn-affil= affil-num=8 en-affil=The Pheasant Memorial Laboratory for Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry, Institute for Planetary Materials, Okayama University at Misasa kn-affil= en-keyword=granitoids kn-keyword=granitoids en-keyword=Pb?Sr?Nd?Hf isotopes kn-keyword=Pb?Sr?Nd?Hf isotopes en-keyword=Pacific-Philippine Sea plates kn-keyword=Pacific-Philippine Sea plates en-keyword=sub-crustal origin kn-keyword=sub-crustal origin en-keyword=tectonic transition kn-keyword=tectonic transition END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=965 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=52 end-page= dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2024 dt-pub=20240404 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Unraveling the Cr Isotopes of Ryugu: An Accurate Aqueous Alteration Age and the Least Thermally Processed Solar System Material en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=The analysis of samples returned from the C-type asteroid Ryugu has drastically advanced our knowledge of the evolution of early solar system materials. However, no consensus has been obtained on the chronological data, which is important for understanding the evolution of the asteroid Ryugu. Here, the aqueous alteration age of Ryugu particles was determined by the Mn?Cr method using bulk samples, yielding an age of 4.13 + 0.62/?0.55 Myr after the formation of Ca?Al-rich inclusions (CAI). The age corresponds to 4563.17 + 0.60/?0.67 Myr ago. The higher 55Mn/52Cr, ƒÃ54Cr, and initial ƒÃ53Cr values of the Ryugu samples relative to any carbonaceous chondrite samples implies that its progenitor body formed from the least thermally processed precursors in the outermost region of the protoplanetary disk. Despite accreting at different distances from the Sun, the hydrous asteroids (Ryugu and the parent bodies of CI, CM, CR, and ungrouped C2 meteorites) underwent aqueous alteration during a period of limited duration (3.8 �} 1.8 Myr after CAI). These ages are identical to the crystallization age of the carbonaceous achondirtes NWA 6704/6693 within the error. The ƒÃ54Cr and initial ƒÃ53Cr values of Ryugu and NWA 6704/6693 are also identical, while they show distinct ƒ¢'17O values. This suggests that the precursors that formed the progenitor bodies of Ryugu and NWA 6703/6693 were formed in close proximity and experienced a similar degree of thermal processing in the protosolar nebula. However, the progenitor body of Ryugu was formed by a higher ice/dust ratio, than NWA6703/6693, in the outer region of the protoplanetary disk. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=TanakaRyoji

kn-abstract=A comprehensive geochemical study of the Chelyabinsk meteorite reveals further details regarding its history of impact-related fragmentation and melting, and later aqueous alteration, during its transit toward Earth. We support an similar to 30 Ma age obtained by Ar-Ar method (Beard et al., 2014) for the impact-related melting, based on Rb-Sr isotope analyses of a melt domain. An irregularly shaped olivine with a distinct 0 isotope composition in a melt domain appears to be a fragment of a silicate-rich impactor. Hydrogen and Li concentrations and isotopic compositions, textures of Fe oxyhydroxides, and the presence of organic materials located in fractures, are together consistent with aqueous alteration, and this alteration could have pre-dated interaction with the Earth's atmosphere. As one model, we suggest that hypervelocity capture of the impact-related debris by a comet nucleus could have led to shock-wave-induced supercritical aqueous fluids dissolving the silicate, metallic, and organic matter, with later ice sublimation yielding a rocky rubble pile sampled by the meteorite. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=NakamuraEizo en-aut-sei=Nakamura en-aut-mei=Eizo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=KunihiroTak en-aut-sei=Kunihiro en-aut-mei=Tak kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=OtaTsutomu en-aut-sei=Ota en-aut-mei=Tsutomu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=SakaguchiChie en-aut-sei=Sakaguchi en-aut-mei=Chie kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=TanakaRyoji en-aut-sei=Tanaka en-aut-mei=Ryoji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=KitagawaHiroshi en-aut-sei=Kitagawa en-aut-mei=Hiroshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=KobayashiKatsura en-aut-sei=Kobayashi en-aut-mei=Katsura kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamanakaMasahiro en-aut-sei=Yamanaka en-aut-mei=Masahiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=ShimakiYuri en-aut-sei=Shimaki en-aut-mei=Yuri kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= en-aut-name=BeboutGray E. en-aut-sei=Bebout en-aut-mei=Gray E. kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=10 ORCID= en-aut-name=MiuraHitoshi en-aut-sei=Miura en-aut-mei=Hitoshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=11 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamamotoTetsuo en-aut-sei=Yamamoto en-aut-mei=Tetsuo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=12 ORCID= en-aut-name=MalkovetsVladimir en-aut-sei=Malkovets en-aut-mei=Vladimir kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=13 ORCID= en-aut-name=GrokhovskyVictor en-aut-sei=Grokhovsky en-aut-mei=Victor kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=14 ORCID= en-aut-name=KorolevaOlga en-aut-sei=Koroleva en-aut-mei=Olga kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=15 ORCID= en-aut-name=LitasovKonstantin en-aut-sei=Litasov en-aut-mei=Konstantin kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=16 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=The Pheasant Memorial Laboratory, Institute for Planetary Materials, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=The Pheasant Memorial Laboratory, Institute for Planetary Materials, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=The Pheasant Memorial Laboratory, Institute for Planetary Materials, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=The Pheasant Memorial Laboratory for Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry, Institute for Planetary Materials, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=The Pheasant Memorial Laboratory for Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry, Institute for Planetary Materials, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Okayama Univ, Inst Planetary Mat, Pheast Mem Lab Geochem & Cosmochem kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=The Pheasant Memorial Laboratory for Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry, Institute for Planetary Materials, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=8 en-affil=The Pheasant Memorial Laboratory for Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry, Institute for Planetary Materials, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=9 en-affil=The Pheasant Memorial Laboratory for Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry, Institute for Planetary Materials, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=10 en-affil=The Pheasant Memorial Laboratory for Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry, Institute for Planetary Materials, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=11 en-affil=Graduate School of Natural Sciences, Nagoya City University kn-affil= affil-num=12 en-affil=Institute of Low Temperature Science, Hokkaido University kn-affil= affil-num=13 en-affil=The Pheasant Memorial Laboratory for Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry, Institute for Planetary Materials, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=14 en-affil=Institute of Physics and Technology, Ural Federal University kn-affil= affil-num=15 en-affil=Institute of Mineralogy, Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences South-Ural State University kn-affil= affil-num=16 en-affil=V.S.

By sublimation of H2O, the sample solution was reduced to < 1/50 of the original volume. To determine element abundance with accuracy better than 10%, we found that for solutions being analysed by mass spectrometry the HNO3 concentration should be > 0.3 mol l(-1) to avoid hydrolysis. Matrix-affected signal suppression was not significant for the solutions with NaCl concentrations lower than 0.2 and 0.1 cg g(-1) for quadrupole ICP-MS and sector field ICP-MS, respectively. The recovery yields of elements after FDC were 97-105%. The detection limits for the sample solutions prepared by FDC were <= 10 pg g(-1), except for Na, K and Ca. Blanks prepared using FDC were at pg-levels, except for eleven elements (Na, Mg, Al, P, Ca, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu and Zn). The abundances of fifty-two elements in bottled drinking water were determined from five different geological sources with mass fractions ranging from the fg g(-1) to mu g g(-1) level with high accuracy. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=HoangQue D. en-aut-sei=Hoang en-aut-mei=Que D. kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=KunihiroTak en-aut-sei=Kunihiro en-aut-mei=Tak kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=SakaguchiChie en-aut-sei=Sakaguchi en-aut-mei=Chie kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamanakaMasahiro en-aut-sei=Yamanaka en-aut-mei=Masahiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=KitagawaHiroshi en-aut-sei=Kitagawa en-aut-mei=Hiroshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=NakamuraEizo en-aut-sei=Nakamura en-aut-mei=Eizo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=The Pheasant Memorial Laboratory for Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry, Institute for Planetary Materials, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=The Pheasant Memorial Laboratory, Institute for Planetary Materials, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=The Pheasant Memorial Laboratory for Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry, Institute for Planetary Materials, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=The Pheasant Memorial Laboratory for Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry, Institute for Planetary Materials, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=The Pheasant Memorial Laboratory for Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry, Institute for Planetary Materials, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=The Pheasant Memorial Laboratory, Institute for Planetary Materials, Okayama University kn-affil= en-keyword=pre-concentration kn-keyword=pre-concentration en-keyword=freeze-drying kn-keyword=freeze-drying en-keyword=ID-IS kn-keyword=ID-IS en-keyword=natural water kn-keyword=natural water en-keyword=drinking water kn-keyword=drinking water END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=43 cd-vols= no-issue=4 article-no= start-page=611 end-page=633 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2019 dt-pub=20190320 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Method to Suppress Isobaric and Polyatomic Interferences for Measurements of Highly Siderophile Elements in Desilicified Geological Samples en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract= Sample decomposition using inverse aqua regia at elevated temperatures and pressures (e.g., Carius tube or high�]pressure asher) is the most common method used to extract highly siderophile elements (HSEs: Ru, Rh, Pd, Re, Os, Ir, Pt and Au) from geological samples. Recently, it has been recognised that additional HF desilicification is necessary to better recover HSEs, potentially contained within silicate or oxide minerals in mafic samples, which cannot be dissolved solely by inverse aqua regia. However, the abundance of interfering elements tends to increase in the eluent when conventional ion�]exchange purification procedures are applied to desilicified samples. In this study, we developed an improved purification method to determine HSEs in desilicified samples. This method enables the reduction of the ratios of isobaric and polyatomic interferences, relative to the measured intensities of HSE isotope masses, to less than a few hundred parts per million. Furthermore, the total procedural blanks are either comparable to or lower than conventional methods. Thus, this method allows accurate and precise HSE measurements in mafic and ultramafic geological samples, without the need for interference corrections. Moreover, the problem of increased interfering elements, such as Zr for Pd and Cr for Ru, is circumvented for the desilicified samples. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=ZhouXiaoyu en-aut-sei=Zhou en-aut-mei=Xiaoyu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=TanakaRyoji en-aut-sei=Tanaka en-aut-mei=Ryoji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamanakaMasahiro en-aut-sei=Yamanaka en-aut-mei=Masahiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=SakaguchiChie en-aut-sei=Sakaguchi en-aut-mei=Chie kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=NakamuraEizo en-aut-sei=Nakamura en-aut-mei=Eizo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=The Pheasant Memorial Laboratory for Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry, Institute for Planetary Materials, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=The Pheasant Memorial Laboratory for Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry, Institute for Planetary Materials, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=The Pheasant Memorial Laboratory for Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry, Institute for Planetary Materials, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=The Pheasant Memorial Laboratory for Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry, Institute for Planetary Materials, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=The Pheasant Memorial Laboratory for Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry, Institute for Planetary Materials, Okayama University kn-affil= en-keyword=highly siderophile elements kn-keyword=highly siderophile elements en-keyword=desilicification kn-keyword=desilicification en-keyword=isotope dilution method kn-keyword=isotope dilution method en-keyword=high resolution ICP-MS kn-keyword=high resolution ICP-MS en-keyword=N-TIMS kn-keyword=N-TIMS END
