The potential of radioactive disequilibria as tracers and chronometers of weathering
processes has been recognised since the 1960's (eg, Rosholt et al. 1966; Hansen and Stout …

We here attempt a global scale mass balance of the continental crust during the
Phanerozoic and especially the Cenozoic (65Ma). Continental crust is mostly recycled back …

Over the past decades, rare earth elements (REE) and their radioactive isotopes have
received tremendous attention in sedimentary geochemistry, as tracers for the geological …

The main problem associated with the study of silicate weathering using river dissolved load
is that the main control of solute chemistry is lithology and that all rivers are influenced by …

The aim of this paper is to present a new database on the chemical composition of
suspended matter in World Rivers, together with the associated elemental fluxes. There is a …

We present major and trace element data on the suspended and dissolved phases of the
Amazon River and its main tributaries. The Sr isotopic composition of the dissolved load is …

Residual solid products of erosion display a wide range of size, density, shape, mineralogy,
and chemical composition and are hydrodynamically sorted in large river channels during …

The Amazon submarine fan is a large sediment apron situated offshore Pará (Brazil) and
represents the most distal extent of the Amazon River. The age of onset of this …

This study presents an integrated mineralogical–geochemical database on fine-grained
sediments transported by all major rivers of southern Africa, including the Zambezi …

This study focuses on the chemistry of the Seine river system, one of the major rivers in
Europe, and constitutes the first geochemical investigation of both suspended and dissolved …
