Neodymium isotopic composition as a proxy of water mass provenance in the Atlantic Ocean: the modern ocean and the past 1200 kyr
International audience Neodymium isotopic composition (143 Nd/ 144 Nd or e Nd) is one of the most widely used tracers to reconstruct ocean circulation and detrital inputs to the ocean. In this presentation, I will address the following topics by taking the Atlantic Ocean as an example: the distincti...
