The biogeochemical cycles of trace elements and their isotopes (TEIs) constitute an active
area of oceanographic research due to their role as essential nutrients for marine organisms …

Since the rare earth elements (REEs) determination in waters is still not a routine procedure,
different analytical protocols have been developed to deal with complexity and variability of …

The neodymium (Nd) isotopic composition of seawater has been used extensively to
reconstruct ocean circulation on a variety of time scales. However, dissolved neodymium …

To improve our understanding and guide future studies and applications, we review the
biogeochemistry of the rare earth elements (REE). The REEs, which form a chemically …

Abstract Neodymium isotopic compositions (143 Nd/144 Nd or ε Nd) have been used as a
tracer of water masses and lithogenic inputs to the ocean. To further evaluate the …

Abstract In the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre, which is one of the largest oligotrophic
regions, there is a lack of information regarding the sources and transport of trace metals …

Reconstructing past modes of ocean circulation is an essential task in paleoclimatology and
paleoceanography. To this end, we combine two sedimentary proxies, Nd isotopes (ε Nd) …

The isotopic composition of neodymium (ε Nd) extracted from sedimentary Fe–Mn
oxyhydroxide offers potential for reconstructing paleo-circulation, but its application depends …

The onset of the North Atlantic Deep Water formation is thought to have coincided with
Antarctic ice-sheet growth about 34 million years ago (Ma). However, this timing is debated …

Our understanding of past ocean-climate dynamics is informed by multiple paleocirculation
proxies including δ 13 C, 231 Pa/230 Th, and radiogenic neodymium isotopes (ε Nd). Of …
