Plankton samples have been carefully collected from a variety of marine environments for
major and trace-chemical analysis. The samples were collected and handled under the …

Metals in the hydrological cycle represent a very broad subject covering all parts of the
geological cycle. The present version of this book, therefore, would not have been possible …

Particulate organic carbon (POC) is vertically transported to the oceanic interior by
aggregates and their ballasts, mainly CaCO3 and biogenic opal, with a smaller role for …

The distribution of 234Th, 230Th, and 228Th between dissolved and particulate forms was
determined in 17 seawater samples from the Guatemala and Panama basins. Sampling was …

Dymond et al.(1992) have recently proposed an algorithm to reconstruct paleoproductivity
from biogenic Ba (bio‐Ba) accumulation rates in sediments. Their equation is based on …

The earliest work on REE in the sedimentary environment was the analysis of Palaeozoic
