Paleosols (fossil soils) are preserved throughout the geologic record in depositional settings
ranging from alluvial systems to between basalt flows. Until recently, paleosols were studied …

The rare earth elements (REEs) form a chemically uniform group and include yttrium (Y),
lanthanum (La) and the lanthanides cerium (Ce), praseodymium (Pr), neodymium (Nd) …

Weathering profiles developed on basalt substrate contain information relevant to climate,
atmospheric composition and evolution, nutrient release into the hydrosphere, and …

The influence of gold mining activities on the water quality in the Mari catchment in Bétaré-
Oya (East Cameroon) was assessed in this study. Sampling was performed within the period …

The aim of this paper is to present a new database on the chemical composition of
suspended matter in World Rivers, together with the associated elemental fluxes. There is a …

This review aims at considering the use of REEs to trace pedogenetic processes, in order to
quantify the respective contribution of the successive processes on pedogenesis. We first …

Mineralization with exchangeable rare earth element (REE) and yttrium (MEX-REY) has
been recognized in the weathering profiles in South China since the early 1970's. This type …

Experiments were carried out to investigate the sorption of the complete lanthanide series
(Ln or rare earth elements, REE) on a kaolinite and an a Na-montmorillonite at 22° C over a …

Very few studies deal with REE (rare earth element) mobility within the system soil–soil
solution–streamwater. In this article, we try to characterize the fractionation and the migration …

Ion adsorption-type rare earth element (REE) deposits are the predominant source of heavy
REE (HREEs) and yttrium in the world. Economic examples of the deposits are confined …
