231Pa and 230Th are removed from the water column by a process of reversible
scavenging which quickly removes 230Th to the sediment. 231Pa is less efficiently …

We have investigated the role of particle compositions in affecting the distribution of 231Pa
and 230Th in the ocean by separating sediments collected by sediment-traps and cores into …

This study centers on the question: How sensitive are 231Pa/230Th and 10Be/230Th to
sediment composition and redistribution? The natural radionuclides 231Pa, 230Th and …

Analysis of samples obtained with deep-sea moored sediment traps deployed at 15 sites
representing a wide range of oceanic conditions confirms that the flux of 230Th scavenged …

The influence of particle composition on the scavenging of 230Th, 231Pa, and 10Be in the
ocean is critically re-examined based on the particle-solution distribution coefficient (Kd) …

231Pa and 230Th concentrations were determined in filtered seawater and suspended
particulate matter collected from the Labrador Sea and the Equatorial and South Atlantic to …

The scavenging of 230Th, 231Pa and 10Be was studied in the Pacific sector of the Southern
Ocean along 170° W using measurements from surface sediments, time-series sediment …

We have examined the relative affinity of Th, Pa and Be for sorption from seawater onto
particles of variable composition (opal, carbonate, lithogenic particles and organic carbon) …

The fractionation of 230Th and 231Pa was investigated throughout the Atlantic sector of the
Southern Ocean. Published scavenging models generally assume that the 231Pa/230T ratio …

The normalization of sediment accumulation rates by 230Th is increasingly used to
constrain particle rain rates because 230Th is produced at a known rate in the water column …
