From measurements of Hf–Yb mixtures, we have found that the correction isobaric interferences involving accepted Yb isotope ratios and reasonable estimates mass bias result in a significantly under-corrected 176Hf, which is proportional to amount added. This can be explained by (1) significant difference instrumental between Hf Yb, (2) values for isotopic within and/or systems are incorrect. We evaluated these possibilities measuring mixed solutions on two MC-ICP-MS instruments undertaking...
Changes in deep ocean ventilation are commonly invoked as the primary cause of lower glacial atmospheric CO2. The water mass structure Atlantic Ocean and mechanism by which it may have sequestered carbon remain elusive. Here we present neodymium isotope measurements from cores throughout that reveal glacial-interglacial changes distributions. These results demonstrate sustained production North Deep Water under conditions, indicating southern-sourced waters were not spatially extensive...
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 scientific community has been that forest disturbance was caused climate change. We show here chemical weathering reconstructed from geochemical analyses marine sediment core, intensified at same period, departing substantially long-term fluctuations related Late Quaternary climate. Evidence event also contemporaneous with...
Based on acquired geophysical, geological and geotechnical data modeling, we suggest hydrate dissolution to cause sediment collapse pockmark formation in the Niger delta. Very high‐resolution bathymetry from delta reveal morphology of pockmarks with different shapes sizes going a small ring depression surrounding an irregular floor more typical uniform depression. Geophysical data, situ piezocone measurements, piezometer measurements cores demonstrate presence common internal architecture...

We present a revised method for the determination of concentrations rare earth (REE) and other trace elements (Y, Sc, Zr, Ba, Hf, Th) in geological samples. Our analytical procedure involves sample digestion using alkaline fusion (NaOH‐Na 2 O ) after addition Tm spike, co‐precipitation on iron hydroxides, measurement by sector field‐inductively coupled plasma‐mass spectrometry (SF‐ICP‐MS). The was tested successfully various rock types (i.e., basalt, ultramafic rock, sediment, soil,...
