The radiogenic isotope composition of dissolved trace metals in the ocean represents a set
of relatively new and not yet fully exploited tracers with a large potential for oceanographic …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the characteristics and properties of lanthanides
in seawater and presents the rationale for studying the lanthanide composition of natural …

Dissolved (< 0.04 μm, not< 0.4 μm) and total acid-soluble concentrations of rare earth
elements (REEs) and yttrium were measured by using ICP mass spectrometry in the …

The decay products of the long-lived radioactive systems are important tools for tracing
geological time and Earth processes. The main parent-daughter pairs used for studies in the …

Continental margins are, via river sediment discharges, the major source of a number of
elements to the ocean. They are also, for several reactive elements, sites of preferential …

Land to ocean transfer of material largely controls the chemical composition of seawater and
the global element cycles. Overall this transfer is dominated by the riverine transport of …

The oceanic Nd budget is calculated using a steady state 10‐box model and a compilation
of field data. This is the first attempt to propose consistent estimates of the Nd fluxes entering …

The global circulation of the oceans and the atmosphere transports heat around the Earth.
Broecker and Denton suggested that changes in the global ocean circulation might have …

Concentrations of rare earth elements (REE) and Nd isotopic ratios were analyzed for
seawater, filtered suspension and sediment trap samples collected in the tropical Atlantic …

Rare earth element (REE) concentrations and neodymium isotopic composition (ɛNd) are
tracers for ocean circulation and biogeochemistry. Although models suggest that REE …
