<p>A skin of continually new continental crust dominated Earth’s surface until about 3 billion years ago, when the planet started recycling its surface, beginning the pattern of titanic clashes seen between continental plates today, scientists have found.</p>

<p>The points in time, rates and conditions under which Earth’s continental crustbegan forming and evolving remain highly uncertain. Continental sediments can shed light on these pivotal events, so researchers investigated zircon minerals present in sediments from Australia, Eurasia, North America and South America, focusing on the isotopes within. (Isotopes are atoms of the same element with differing numbers of neutrons; different isotopes can come to dominant minerals under different conditions.) <a href="http://isotope.info/earth-began-recycling-crust-3-billion-years-ago/#more-1876" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">→</span></a></p>

<p>The U.S. GEOTRACES Science Steering Committee has established a U.S. Arctic GEOTRACES initiative to help characterize and understand regional biogeochemical changes associated with rapid climate change. The initiative, led by University of Miami Professor David Kadko will use multiple icebreakers, and include scientists from several nations who will contribute to sampling the Arctic Ocean. Initial cruises are tentatively planned for 2015.</p>
<p>Chaired by University of Miami, Rosenstiel School of Marine & Atmospheric Science Professor David Kadko, the GEOTRACES effort will study how the carbon budget, geochemical cycles, and ecosystems in the Arctic will respond to rapidly changing climate conditions.</p>
<p>“This initiative marks the first time we will conduct a grand-scale, coordinated experiment in the Arctic Ocean that will allow us to better understand the effects of global climate change on the region,” said Kadko. “We now have the tools and the required access to test the biogeochemical processes taking place right now in the Arctic, which will help us to establish a baseline against which to measure varying conditions in the future.”</p>
<p>The GEOTRACES program has held several informational meetings around the world to update the community on the planning process and solicit input from researchers. The meetings and workshops, funded in part by the National Science Foundation (NSF), have brought together some of the world’s top scientists interested in the biogeochemical cycles of trace elements and their isotopes to assist in planning the expeditions. From June 13-15 the U.S. Arctic GEOTRACES group will hold an implementation meeting in Washington D.C. at NSF headquarters to define the scientific objectives of a US-led cruise in the western Arctic Ocean, planned for late summer 2015. Planning by other nations regarding their contributions are ongoing, and will be coordinated with the US effort.</p>
<p>“Significantly, the data we gather will help us to model feedback mechanisms and future trajectories of Arctic change we may face with ongoing shifts in climate that may impact us — regardless of whether we live near the Arctic or as far away as Miami,” added Kadko.</p>
<p>GEOTRACES is an international program whose mission is to identify processes and quantify fluxes that control the distributions of key trace elements and isotopes in the ocean, and to establish the sensitivity of these distributions to changing environmental conditions.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Biologists at Bielefeld University have developed a new method for quantifying the effect of non-native species on ecosystem functioning</em></p>
<div id="attachment_1850" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://isotope.info/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/wattle.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1850" title="wattle" src="http://isotope.info/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/wattle.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The researchers studied how the Australian Sydney golden wattle proliferates in other ecosystems and suppresses native species.</p></div>
<p>They can estimate whether native plants in the neighbourhood of invasive species incorporate the nitrogen fixed by the latter. The biologists examined the Sydney Golden Wattle (<em>Acacia longifolia</em>), an Australian shrub that has established itself in Mediterranean climates worldwide. They found that the invasive species threatens native ecosystems not only through its prolific growth but also by fertilizing the surrounding soil with nitrogen – this effect markedly extended beyond the area occupied by the invader. This innovative method (called 15N isoscapes) is being published today (13 March) in the renowned journal <em>Ecology Letters</em>. <a href="http://isotope.info/fertilization-by-invasive-species-threatens-nutrient-poor-ecosystems/#more-1849" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">→</span></a></p>
