High-resolution profiles of the mass accumulation rate biogenic silica and other geochemical proxies in two piston cores from northern Lake Malawi provide a climate signal for this part tropical Africa spanning past 25,000 years. The was low during relatively dry late Pleistocene, when river flux to lake suppressed. Millennial-scale fluctuations, due upwelling intensity, Pleistocene basin appear have been closely linked Northern Hemisphere until 11 thousand years ago. Relatively cold...

We present molybdenum isotope and concentration data from 14 sites in the eastern Pacific central California to Peru margin. The environments studied have been chosen represent a broad range oxidation‐reduction (redox) potential, which provide framework for behavior of this redox‐sensitive element. Manganese‐rich hemipelagic sediments tropical mean characteristic Mo signature ( δ 98/95 = −0.49 ± 0.04‰, two times standard deviation (2 SDOM) with n 14) that reflects fractionation between ocean...
Climate warming is expected to reduce oxygen (O2) supply the ocean and expand its minimum zones (OMZs). We reconstructed variations in extent of North Pacific anoxia since 1850 using a geochemical proxy for denitrification (δ(15)N) from multiple sediment cores. Increasing δ(15)N ~1990 records an expansion anoxia, consistent with observed O2 trends. However, this was preceded by longer declining trend that implies anoxic zone shrinking most 20th century. Both periods can be explained changes...
The molybdenum (Mo) stable isotope system has been applied to a variety of geochemical and environmental problems. In the absence universally accepted zero-delta reference material, different groups report their data relative adopted in-house standards. Rigorous comparison results generated in laboratories using analytical approaches is only possible if standards are identical Mo composition. To determine potential isotopic differences among various standards, δ98Mo (98Mo/95Mo) values ten...

Neodymium (Nd) isotopes are considered a valuable tracer of modern and past ocean circulation. However, the promise Nd isotope as water mass is hindered because there not an entirely self-consistent model marine geochemical cycle rare earth elements (REEs, which one). That is, prevailing mechanisms to describe distributions elemental isotopic completely reconciled. Here, we use published [Nd] data examine assumptions, further compare these emergent alternative models that emphasize benthic...

Isotopic analyses of dissolved molybdenum are presented for sediment pore waters from a reducing sedimentary basin and fluids low‐temperature ridge flank hydrothermal system. δ 98/95 Mo in these range 0.8 to 3.5‰ (relative laboratory standard), demonstrating that marine reactions significantly fractionate isotopes. Within the upper 3 cm sediment, manganese oxide dissolution produces an isotopically light fluid relative seawater (mean four = 2.1 ± 0.1‰ versus 2.3 0.1‰). Below 6 depth,...
