Using (U-234/U-238) to assess diffusion rates of isotope tracers in ferromanganese crusts

Ferromanganese crusts record seawater isotope history for several elements useful for paleoceanography. Interpreting crust isotope profiles, however, requires an assessment of the rate of diffusion of each element within the crust. We address this issue using U- and Th-isotope profiles, coupled with...
