Science Highlights

A refined neodymium parameter modelling study reveals differing controls on neodymium cycling in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans

Since neodymium isotopes are used as proxies for past ocean circulation and, more rarely, past weathering, constraining the modern Nd cycle is a major challenge for marine geochemists…

Mercury content and isotopes in bird’s guano: a window to reconstruct past climates

By analysing peat cores, Chuxian Li and her colleagues have shown how populations of nesting seabirds have fluctuated on a sub-Antarctic Island over the last 8,000 years.

Contraction of North Atlantic Deep Water during glacial times: a paradigm called into question

Blaser and co-authors propose a new distribution of deep-water masses in the Atlantic Ocean during the Last Glacial Maximum and the Heinrich Stadial..
