Magmatic activity at the Carlsberg Ridge in the Indian Ocean triggered by glacial sea-level variation
De and colleagues provide a high-resolution record of magmatic input and associated hydrothermal activity over the past 49 kyr from a core recovered from a magmatic segment of the slow-spreading Carlsberg Ridge in the Indian Ocean.
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.
Do not mourn Nobias any longer: InertSep ME-2 is coming!
Thanks to the thorough development proposed by Alifia and co-workers, the community may have a solution to the shortage of Nobias Chelate PA-1…
Long-range transport of iron off the Antarctic Peninsula
Tian and co-authors investigate dissolved iron concentrations and isotope compositions in the western Weddell Sea…
Seasonal variation of the dissolved iron ligands in the South Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean
In the ocean, up to 99% of the dissolved iron is strongly complexed with organic compounds known as iron-binding ligands…
Tracing the origin of iron in the equatorial Pacific: an isotopic study
The equatorial Pacific Ocean is a region of contrasts: in the west, rivers and sediments supply large amounts of iron, while in the east, iron deficiency limits the growth of phytoplankton…
Comprehensive inverse model constrains the application of beryllium-7 as a deposition tracer
Measurements of beryllium-7 activity in surface waters provide a promising approach for quantifying the deposition of aerosol-bound elements at the ocean surface…
When cadmium faces the Black Sea contrasting environment
Dickson and his colleagues investigated the fate of cadmium in the Black Sea using its concentration and isotopic composition…
