Rare earth element and neodymium isotope tracing of element input and past ocean circulation: study from North and South Pacific seawater and sediments
Neodymium (Nd) isotopes and rare earth elements (REE) were analysed in North Pacific seawater (near Hawaii) to investigate lithogenic input to the ocean. Further, Nd isotopes measured in South Pacific sedimentary archives were used to study changes in deep ocean circulation during the last 30,000 an...
