Abstract The international GEOTRACES program has been instrumental in demonstrating how marine sediments are a critical source of dissolved Fe to the world's oceans. Here, we present iron (dFe) from North Pacific GP15 section, which, alongside other sediment‐source tracers (including δ 56 Fe, Mn, 228 Ra, and particulate Fe), allows for identification dFe provenance three distinct depth maxima at Alaskan margin. Two these (shelf abyssal depths) local sedimentary origin. third, mid‐depth maximum with an absence is advected signal that, based on tracer data Western transects circulation models, must be sources Asian margin, ∼5,000 km away. This study illustrates importance measuring diagnostic like radium when assigning margins as trace metal budgets.

Sorbents based on polyacrylonitrile fiber, containing ferrocyanides of transition metals and manganese oxides (CoMn-PAN FeMn-PAN) or iron(III) hydroxide (CoFe-PAN) in their structure were obtained, as confirmed by the results X-ray diffraction energy-dispersive analyses. The selectivity obtained sorbents was investigated, along with ability to sorb Cs, Ba (as an analog Ra), P, Be from various natural media, including river water seawater varying salinity 18.2 33.8 ‰. data show that are universal for recovery artificial 137Cs radionuclides environments, complex salt composition (seawater).

Abstract Radium‐226( 226 Ra) and barium (Ba) exhibit similar chemical behaviors distributions in the marine environment, serving as valuable tracers of water masses, ocean mixing, productivity. Despite their distributions, these elements originate from distinct sources undergo disparate biogeochemical cycles, which might complicate use tracers. In this study, we investigate processes by analyzing a full‐depth section Ra activities ( T 1/2 = 1,600 years) concentrations obtained samples collected along US GEOTRACES GP15 Pacific Meridional Transect during September–November 2018, spanning Alaska to Tahiti. We find that surface waters possess low levels Ba due export sinking particulates, surpassing inputs continental margins. contrast, deep have higher particle regeneration sedimentary sources, with primarily resulting decay 230 Th sediments. Further, dissolved strong correlation section. To elucidate drivers correlation, used mass analysis, enabling us quantify influence mixing relative non‐conservative processes. While significant fraction each element's distribution can be explained conservative considerable cannot. The balance is driven using processes, such sedimentary, rivers, or hydrothermal inputs, uptake particles, remineralization. Our study demonstrates utility for understanding while shedding light on myriad shape respective distributions.
