Silicon isotope systematics of acidic weathering of fresh basalts, Kilauea Volcano, Hawai’i

Silicon stable isotopes are fractionated by a host of low-temperature aqueous processes, making them potentially useful as a weathering proxy. Here we characterize the silicon isotope signature of surficial chemical weathering of glassy basaltic lava flows at Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii. Fresh basalt fl...
