Sedimentary rocks contain a unique record of the evolution of the Earth system. Deciphering
this record requires a robust understanding of the identity, origin, composition, and post …

Abstract Knowledge of the elemental compositions and isotopic ratios of geological samples
is a prerequisite for geochemical research. For whole-rock elemental composition and …

Deoxygenation in marine systems is globally increasing due to anthropogenic pressures
and climate change impacts, leading to significant ecological and environmental …

Molybdenum (Mo) enrichments in marine sediments are a common indicator of the presence
of sulphide near the sediment-water interface and can thereby record historic bottom-water …

Trace element time-series in bivalve mollusk shells and other (biogenic) materials can
potentially serve as environmental proxies. Yet, the applicability of element-to-calcium ratios …

Determination of metal elements in columbite ores is of great importance in understanding
the potential economic significance and the origin of deposits. LA-ICP-MS is recognized as a …

Anthropogenic nutrient input has caused a rapid expansion of bottom water hypoxia in the
Baltic Sea over the past century. Two earlier intervals of widespread hypoxia, coinciding with …

Expanding hypoxia in the Baltic Sea over the past century has led to the development of
anoxic and sulfidic (euxinic) deep basins that are only periodically ventilated by inflows of …

Contemporary studies emphasize theoretical and analytical aspects of monitoring water
quality within lacustrine settings. The X-ray fluorescence (XRF) core scanner provides the …

CO2 mineralization in slag has been widely investigated as a potential solution for offsetting
steelmaking industry emissions. However, it can be associated with ecotoxic elements …
