Within the last ten years, micro-XRF (µXRF) core scanning has become an important
addition to the suite of techniques for investigating lacustrine sediments. Most studies to date …

Reconstructing the changing strength of the East Asian summer monsoon has been
controversial because different proxies, many being indirect measures of rainfall, tell …

Portable XRF is a rapid, mobile, high throughput, and potentially cost effective instrumental
analytical technique capable of elemental assessment. It is widely used for environmental …

On-line analysis of split sediment cores by XRF core scanners has become increasingly
popular in the past decade, because it allows nondestructive extraction of near-continuous …

Traditionally, analytical techniques such as wavelength-dispersive x-ray fluorescence (WD-
XRF), inductively-coupled plasma (ICP) and mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), instrumental …

XRF core scanners, with their rapid and non-destructive analytical capability, have now
been used for two decades in the analysis of marine sediments. Initially they were used to …

Redox dynamics of manganese (Mn) were studied in the sediment of Lake Zurich using
precise sediment core age models, monthly long-term oxygen (O 2) monitoring data of the …

The Paleocene‐Eocene thermal maximum (PETM) is one of the best known examples of a
transient climate perturbation, associated with a brief, but intense, interval of global warming …

X-ray fluorescence (XRF) scanning of unlithified, untreated sediment cores is becoming an
increasingly common method used to obtain paleoproxy data from lake records. XRF …

The upper Paleocene and lower Eocene are marked by several prominent (> 1‰) carbon
isotope (δ13C) excursions (CIE) that coincide with transient global warmings, or thermal …
