CT24E:
Understanding Rare Earth Element (REE) Distributions and Isotopic Ratios and the Mechanisms Behind Their Use As Tracers of (Paleo)Oceanic Processes Posters

Session ID#: 84457

Session Description:
Analytical advances have enabled a significant increase of environmental REE abundance and isotopic (e.g. Nd, Ce) data. These elements are increasingly recognized as promising tracers for elucidating past and present natural and man-made processes in a variety of aquatic environments. However, in spite of this growth in observations, our understanding of the mechanisms, capabilities and limitations of geochemical proxies based on REE abundances and isotopic ratios remains incomplete. We therefore invite presentations of field, laboratory, or modeling studies of REEs and related isotope systems aimed specifically at exploring mechanistic connections between their geochemical behavior and observed distributions in marine and terrestrial waters and sediments. Of particular interest are investigations linking REE abundance distributions to Nd or Ce isotopic ratios; validating the use of REEs as proxies of paleoceanographic processes; and addressing REE fractionation and source-to-sink transport on a global scale and at "geochemical hotspots" like estuaries, hydrothermal vents, nepheloid layers etc. Presentations that merely contribute TEI distribution data will be given lower priority. We especially encourage submissions from students and early-career scientists.
