This technical report serves as an appendix to a recent article by Byrne and Sholkovitz (1996) in the Handbook on the Physics
and Chemistry of Rare Earths (vol. 23, chapter 158, pg. 497-592) edited by K. A. Gschneidner Jr. and L. Eyring and published by
Elsevier Science. This article, Marine Chemistry and Geochemistry of the Lanthanides, discusses the physical chemistry of the
lanthanides in natural waters, describes the major features of the lanthanides in rivers, estuaries and oceans and discusses the
chemical and biogeochemical processes controlling the speciation and distribution of the lanthanides in the ocean.
The article by Byre and Sholkovitz (1996) refers to a large set of published and unpublished data on the rare earth (RE)
composition of rivers, estuaries, seawater, marine pore waters and marine hydrothermal waters. In order to conserve space in the
Handbook arctile, a compilation of concentration data for natural waters will be presented in this report. Publications through 1995
are cited.

Erratum to “Deep ocean nutrients during the Last Glacial Maximum deduced from sponge silicon isotopic compositions” [Earth Planet. Sci. Lett. 292 (2010) 290–300]
Hendry, Katharine R.; Georg, R. Bastian; Rickaby, Rosalind E. M.; Robinson, Laura F.; Halliday, Alex N. (2010-12)The relative importance of biological and physical processes within the Southern Ocean for the storage of carbon and atmospheric pCO2 on glacial-interglacial timescales remains uncertain. Understanding the impact of surface ... -

Anthropogenic disturbance of element cycles at the Earth’s surface
Sen, Indra S.; Peucker-Ehrenbrink, Bernhard (2012-07)The extent to which humans are modifying Earth’s surface chemistry can be quantified by comparing total anthropogenic element fluxes with their natural counterparts (Klee & Graedel, 2004). We quantify anthropogenic mass ...
