Radiogenic Isotopes: The Case for Crustal Recycling on a Near-Steady-State No-Continental-Growth Earth [and Discussion]

Pb, Sr and Nd isotopes define rock ages and residence times in mantle and continental crust, but are not diagnostic of either crustal growth or recycling in a near-steady-state Earth. Constancy of continental freeboard and uniformity of thickness of stable continental crust with age are the only two...
