The large-scale evolution of neodymium isotopic composition in the global modern and Holocene ocean revealed from seawater and archive data
Abstract Neodymium isotopic compositions (143 Nd/144 Nd or ε Nd) have been used as a

Ocean dynamics, not dust, have controlled equatorial Pacific productivity over the past 500,000 years
Biological productivity in the equatorial Pacific is relatively high compared with other low-
latitude regimes, especially east of the dateline, where divergence driven by the trade winds …
