Radiogenic Hf isotopic compositions of continental eolian dust from Asia, its variability and its implications for seawater Hf
The inorganic silicate fraction extracted from bulk pelagic sediments from the North Pacific Ocean is eolian dust. It monitors the composition of continental crust exposed to erosion in Asia. 176Lu/177Hf ratios of modern dust are sub-chondritic between 0.011 and 0.016 but slightly elevated with resp...
