Isotope anomalies among planetary bodies provide key constraints on planetary genetics and the Solar System's dynamical evolution. However, to unlock the full potential of these anomalies for constraining the processing, mixing, and transport of material in the disk it is essential to identify the main components responsible for producing planetary-scale isotope variations, and to investigate how they relate to the isotopic heterogeneity inherited from the Solar System's parental molecular cloud. To address these issues we measured the Ti and Sr isotopic compositions of Ca,Al-rich inclusions (CAIs) from the Allende CV3 chondrite, as well as acid leachates and an insoluble residue from the Murchison CM2 chondrite, and combine these results with literature data for presolar grains, hibonites, chondrules, and bulk meteorites. Our analysis reveals that the internal mineral-scale nebular isotopic heterogeneity as sampled by leachates and presolar grains is largely decoupled from the planetary-scale isotope anomalies as sampled by bulk meteorites. We show that variable admixing of CAIlike refractory material to an average inner solar nebula component can explain the planetaryscale Ti and Sr isotope anomalies and the elemental and isotopic difference between noncarbonaceous (NC) and carbonaceous (CC) nebular reservoirs for these elements.Combining isotope anomaly data for a large number of elements (Ti, Sr, Ca, Cr, Ni, Zr, Mo, Ru, Ba, Nd, Sm, Hf, W, and Os) reveals that the offset of the CC from the NC reservoir towards the composition of CAIs is a general trend and not limited to refractory elements. This implies that the CC reservoir is the product of mixing between NC material and a reservoir (called IC for Inclusion-like Chondritic component) whose isotopic composition is similar to that of CAIs, but whose chemical composition is similar to bulk chondrites. In our preferred model, the distinct isotopic compositions of these two nebular reservoirs reflect an inherited heterogeneity of the solar system's parental molecular cloud core, which therefore has never been fully homogenized during collapse. Planetary-scale isotopic anomalies are thus caused by variable mixing of isotopically distinct primordial disk reservoirs, the selective processing of these reservoirs in different nebular environments, and the heterogeneous distribution of the thereby forming nebular products.

Results from the international cooperative programme on effects on materials including historic and cultural monuments are presented from the period 1987–2014 and include pollution data (SO2, NO2, O3, HNO3 and PM10), corrosion data (carbon steel, weathering steel, zinc, copper, aluminium and limestone) and data on the soiling of modern glass for nineteen industrial, urban and rural test sites in Europe. Both one-year and four-year corrosion data are presented. Corrosion and pollution have decreased significantly and a shift in the magnitude is generally observed around 1997: from a sharp decrease to a more modest decrease or to a constant level without any decrease. SO2 levels, carbon steel and copper corrosion have decreased even after 1997, which is more pronounced in urban areas, while corrosion of the other materials shows no decrease after 1997, when looking at one-year values. When looking at four-year values, however, there is a significant decrease after 1997 for zinc, which is not evident when looking at the one-year values. This paper also presents results on corrosion kinetics by comparison of one- and four-year values. For carbon steel and copper, kinetics is relatively independent of sites while other materials, especially zinc, show substantial variation in kinetics for the first four years, which needs to be considered when producing new and possibly improved models for corrosion.
