This paper presents new major and trace-element data and Lu–Hf and Sm–Nd isotopic
compositions for representative suites of marine sediment samples from 14 drill sites …

Over the past decades, rare earth elements (REE) and their radioactive isotopes have
received tremendous attention in sedimentary geochemistry, as tracers for the geological …

Dust provides ecosystem-sustaining nutrients to landscapes underlain by intensively
weathered soils. Here we show that dust may also be crucial in montane forest ecosystems …

About 3000 years ago, a major vegetation change occurred in Central Africa, when
rainforest trees were abruptly replaced by savannas. Up to this point, the consensus of the …

Terrestrial weathering releases phosphorus and other essential nutrients that fuel life in
Earth's surface environments and sustain oxygenic photosynthesis. Despite previous …

We present the first combined dissolved hafnium (Hf) and neodymium (Nd) concentrations
and isotope compositions of deep water masses from the Atlantic sector of the Southern …

Abstract The Amazon River accounts for 20% of global freshwater runoff and supplies vital
trace metals to the Atlantic Ocean. Suspended particles within its plume are thought to …

Huge amounts of mineral dust are produced in northern Africa, representing the largest
source of aerosols worldwide. Transatlantic dust transport is known to fertilize soils as far as …

The roles of the mantle in generating granites and the extent of crust-mantle interaction are
fundamental topics to our understanding of Sn mineralization. In this study, we report …

Zircon occasionally crystallizes in evolved melt pockets in mafic large igneous province (LIP)
magmas, and in these cases, it is used to provide high-precision age constraints on LIP …
