Volume EditorAfter receiving his B.A. in geology from the University of California, Berkeley, William White earned a Ph.D. in oceanography from theUniversity of Rhode Island in 1977. White did postdoctoral work at the Carnegie Institution of Washington and at the US Geological Survey inDenver between 1977 and 1980. From 1980 to 1985 he was a staff scientist at the Max Planck Institut für Chemie in Mainz, Germany, and thenspent a year as associate professor in the College of Oceanography at Oregon State University. White joined the Cornell faculty in 1986 where hecurrently serves as professor of earth and atmospheric sciences. He spent 7 months of 1995 as a visiting professor at the École Normale Supérieurede Lyon and the Université de Rennes, served as a visiting professor at the Université de Brest in 2001–2002, and was a Merle Tuve Senior Fellowat Carnegie Institution of Washington in 2002. White is a fellow of the Geochemical Society and the American Geophysical Union. He served asfounding editor of the electronic journal Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems (G-cubed) from 1999 to 2005.

This publication is available also as:Electronic publication under ISBN 978-3-319-39312-4 andPrint and electronic bundle under ISBN 978-3-319-39313-1Cover illustration: The poly-extreme hydrothermal terraces of Dallol, Afar Triangle, Ethiopia.Hydrothermal chimneys and miniature geysers discharge high temperature (105–108 �C), oxygen-free, hyper-acidic(pH ~ 0), and Fe-rich (26 g/L of Fe) brines, creating a series of colorful terraces and pools. Unlike other hydrothermalsites where the colors are related to the presence of microorganisms, the color palette of Dallol results from the slowoxidation of aqueous ferrous species and precipitation of Fe(III)-chlorides/-oxyhydroxides/-sulfates.

Preface
Few fields within the earth sciences have grown as rapidly the twentieth century has geochemistry, particularly the
or had as great an impact as geochemistry. The impact ofgeochemistry has been vast and greatly influenced ourunderstanding of virtually every aspect of this planet, itsneighbors, and the life that makes it so unique.As an example, consider what Darwin wrote in 1859 inOrigin of Species: “If the theory [evolution] be true, it isindisputable that before the lowest Cambrian stratum wasdeposited, long periods elapsed. . .and that during thesevast periods, the world swarmed with living creatures. Butto the question why we do not find rich fossiliferousdeposits belonging to these assumed earliest periodsbefore the Cambrian system, I can give no satisfactoryanswer.” Darwin understood that the Precambrian com-prised “long periods” but had no idea how long. Geochem-istry, in particular analysis of radioactive elements andtheir daughter products, provided the answer: four billionyears. While the answer to “ how long” could have beengiven more than half a century ago, the answer to hisquestion “why” has only become apparent within the lastdecade, and that answer also comes from geochemistry.Recent studies of redox-sensitive metals such as uraniumand molybdenum in ancient marine sediments haverevealed that although the Earth’s atmosphere first becameoxidizing about 2.3 billion years ago, oxygen levelsremained too low to support animal life for nearly another2 billion years. Animals appear in the fossil record shortly,geologically speaking, after that rise.
Why oxygen levels began to rise in the Neoproterozoicremains unclear, but biomarkers in sediments of the timehint at possible answers. Biomarkers are fragments oforiginal biomolecules that survive in sediment and containclues to ancient environments and operation of the carboncycle. The carbon cycle is intimately connected to both theoxygen cycle through photosynthesis, respiration, andburial of organic carbon and climate through the green-house gases CO2 and CH4.
In another example, Louis Agassiz first recognized thatthe Earth had experienced extensive recent glaciation in thefirst half of the nineteenth century. Only in the last half of
analysis of oxygen and hydrogen isotope ratios, providedanswers to the when and why of the Agassiz’s “Ice Ages.”Geochemistry continues to provide all the main tools forpaleoclimate analysis. Understanding what controlled cli-mate in the past is key to predicting how it will change inthe future. This is, of course, critical, because humans haveshifted the balance in the carbon cycle by burning ancientlyburied organic carbon, and climate is changing as aconsequence.
Geochemistry is also revealing the workings of theEarth’s interior. Thermobarometers based on the distribu-tion of elements between different minerals reveal thetemperatures of metamorphism and crystallization inmagma chambers. Combined with geochronometers, theycan reveal the rates of these processes and the rates atwhich mountains rise and erode. The 1960s James Bondfilm proclaimed that “Diamonds are Forever,” but it iszircon that holds the record for longevity. Because zirconsconcentrate uranium, they are natural clocks. Chemical andisotopic analysis of zircons reveals that creation of thecontinents began 4.4 billion years ago and proceeded sub-sequently in pulses that appear to correspond to times ofsupercontinent formation.
We have learned that geochemical cycles extend to thebase of the mantle. Water, carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur arecarried into the mantle at subduction zones. Isotopic ana-lyses, among other approaches, reveal that these are thencarried upward in mantle plumes, which seismic imagingshow rise from the base of the mantle, and are releasedback to the surface by “hot spot” volcanoes such as Hawaii,Réunion, etc. These deep cycles operate much more slowlythan surficial ones, as the discovery of the mass indepen-dently fractionated isotopic signature of Archean atmo-spheric sulfur in lavas from volcanoes of FrenchPolynesia demonstrates.
Geochemistry has its roots in the ancient arts of metal-lurgy, refining elements from the Earth, and alchemy,transforming those elements into new ones. The latterproved fruitless, of course, but transforming elements
xxxii PREFACE
into new ones happens continually in stellar interiors,supernovae, and neutron star mergers. The disparate isoto-pic signatures of these various nucleosynthetic processesare found in meteorites – the “left-overs” from solar systemformation 4.5 billion years ago. The impact of geochemis-try thus extends to understanding how planetary systemsform and how the cosmos has evolved.
The beginnings of metallurgy mark the transition ofhumanity out of the Stone Age and the founding of moderncivilization. Many of the metals that the ancients minedand refined, such as copper, tin, lead, and iron, are stillessential to us, but modern society depends increasingly ona vast array of less common elements: as many as 70 dif-ferent elements are components of smart phones, includinglithium, yttrium, rare earths, indium, tantalum, gallium,and antimony. Many of these and others such as cadmium,tellurium, and thallium are increasingly needed as wetransition to carbon-free, energy efficient societies. Findingsufficient sources of them requires understanding theirbehavior in nature and the processes that concentratethem. At the same time, many of these elements are toxicor form environmentally destructive compounds. Geo-chemistry is essential both in supplying society’s resourcesand dealing with its wastes.
Many ore deposits are formed as a result of hydrother-mal activity. The cover photo of the colorful salt deposits ofthe Dallol dome in the Danakil depression of Ethiopia is anexample of such activity, and it also illustrates how allaspects of geochemistry are ultimately interconnected.There, a mantle plume causes rifting and volcanism. Themagmatic heat drives a mixture of magmatic volatiles,
formation brines, and groundwater upward through layersof basalt and evaporites, dissolving a variety of elementsfrom both. Once this hot, acidic solution reaches the sur-face, cooling and reaction with atmospheric oxygen resultin precipitation. Thus, the resulting salts are ultimate prod-ucts of all of the Earth: its interior, the oceans, and theatmosphere.
The point is that the scope of geochemistry is so vast thatit is impossible for any one person to know the entire field.This is raison d’etre for this encyclopedia. The 331 entriesinclude brief summaries of the behavior of the naturallyoccurring chemical elements, and their isotopes in manycases, brief definitions of important terms such as quantumnumbers, overviews of important topics such as evaporites,and extensive reviews of broad topics such as the forma-tion and evolution of the Earth. All of these entries arewritten by experts on the subject. None of them are exhaus-tive, rather they are meant to acquaint the reader with thetopic and, with the references at the end of each entry,provide a point of departure for further understanding.The encyclopedia is aimed at students, teachers, profes-sionals working in other aspects of earth science, andanyone wanting to understand more about the chemistryof nature. Given, again, the vast scope of geochemistry, weexpect it should also be useful to geochemists needing tounderstand topics outside their own area of specialty.
