I don't have an answer for you but am intrigued at the possibility of using
Mg isotopes for environmental investigation and evaluation of
bioremediation effectiveness.  I had not heard of Mg isotopes before and
would like to know more about it.  What information do you have on how Mg
participates in biogeochemical processes?  I would appreciate any info you
can provide me.
