Discrimination of sediment provenance using rare earth elements in the Ulleung Basin, East/Japan Sea
TLDR
In this paper, the origins of the Ulleung Basin (east/Japan Sea) sediments using rare earth elements (REEs) using 15 box cores and one piston core collected in the shelf, slope and basin were analyzed for major elements (Al, Fe, Ca, and Mn) and REEs.About:

Source and path identification of metals pollution in a mining area by PMF and rare earth element patterns in road dust
TL;DR: Although mining contribution to pollution levels increased with decreasing distance and size, 35% of REEs and 6% of other polluted metals in residential area road dust originated directly from the mine, and the provenance index (PI) calculated using the REE parameters confirmed this result.

Fine road dust contamination in a mining area presents a likely air pollution hotspot and threat to human health.
Shuhan Tian,Tao Liang,Kexin Li +2 more
TL;DR: Fine road dust is a potential hotspot for mineral exposure in populations living around a mine and its tailings; moreover, that effective prevention measures like road cleaning and truck regulation are urgently needed.

Holocene changes in detrital sediment supply to the eastern part of the central Yellow Sea and their forcing mechanisms
TL;DR: In this paper, Holocene changes in the riverine, eolian, and erosional supplies to the eastern part of the central Yellow Sea (YS) and their forcing mechanisms were determined on the basis of multiple mineralogical and geochemical indices of three age-dated piston cores from the central YSM deposition.

Major, trace and REE geochemistry of recent sediments from lower Catumbela River (Angola)
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed sediment samples collected in the lower Catumbela River to characterize and discuss the factors controlling its geochemistry and provide data that can be used as tracers of Catumbala River inputs to the Angolan continental shelf.
Journal ArticleDOI
Source identification of heavy metal contamination using metal association and Pb isotopes in Ulsan Bay sediments, East Sea, Korea.
TL;DR: The primary source of metal contamination came from activities related to nonferrous metal refineries near Onsan Harbor, and the next largest source was from shipbuilding companies located at the mouth of the Taehwa River.

The geochemical evolution of the continental crust
TL;DR: A survey of the dimensions and composition of the present continental crust is given in this paper, where it is concluded that at least 60% of the crust was emplaced by the late Archean (ca. 2.7 eons).

Geochemistry of Recent oxic and anoxic marine sediments: Implications for the geological record
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the distribution of minor and trace elements in marine sediments and provided forensic tools for determining the redox conditions of the bottom waters at the time of deposition.

Rare earth elements in the sedimentary cycle: A summary
TL;DR: The relative and absolute concentrations of rare earth elements (REE) in authigenic and biogenic phases of deep-sea sediments are quite different as mentioned in this paper, and the distribution of REE in different masses of seawater strongly reflects their fractionation in sediments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rare earth elements in pore waters of marine sediments
TL;DR: In this paper, the rare earth elements (REEs) were measured in pore waters of the upper ∼25 cm of sediment from one site off Peru and three sites on the California margin.

Rare earth element distributions in anoxic waters of the Cariaco Trench
TL;DR: In this paper, the concentrations of dissolved and suspended particulate rare earth elements in the Cariaco Trench are reported, and the relative turnover rates at the interface are ranked as ======Mn > Ce = Ce-anomaly > Nd, Sm, Eu, La, Dy, Er��.
