    Description: Limited constraints on the variability of the deep‐water production in the Labrador Sea complicate reconstructions of the strength of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) during the Late Quaternary. Large volumes of detrital carbonates were repeatedly deposited in the Labrador Sea during the last 32 kyr, potentially affecting radiogenic Nd isotope signatures. To investigate this the Nd isotope compositions of deep and intermediate waters were extracted from the authigenic Fe‐Mn oxyhydroxide fraction, foraminiferal coatings, the residual silicates and leachates of dolostone grains. We provide a first order estimation of Nd release via dissolution of detrital carbonates and its contribution to the authigenic ԑNd signatures in the Labrador Sea. During the Last Glacial Maximum the Nd isotope signatures in the Labrador Sea would allow active water mass mixing with more radiogenic ɛNd values (−12.6 and −14) prevailing in its eastern part whereas less radiogenic values (ɛNd ∼ −18.4) were found on the western Labrador slope. The deposition of detrital carbonates during Heinrich stadials (2,1) was accompanied by negative detrital and authigenic Nd isotope excursions (ɛNd ∼ −31) that were likely controlled by dissolution of dolostone or dolostone associated mineral inclusions. This highly unradiogenic signal dominated the authigenic phases and individual water masses in the Labrador Sea, serving as potential source of highly unradiogenic Nd to the North Atlantic region, while exported southward. The Holocene authigenic ɛNd signatures of the coatings and leachates significantly differed from those of the detrital silicates, approaching modern bottom water mass signatures during the Late Holocene.
    Description: Plain Language Summary: The Labrador Sea is an important region for deep water formation and for the ocean circulation in the Atlantic region. Over the last 32 thousand years, numerous discharges from melting glaciers added freshwater to the Labrador Sea which could help understand the future effects of current melting glaciers. This information is necessary to better constrain climate predictions in order to gauge the effects on the Global Ocean Water Circulation. However, past deep water production in the Labrador is still poorly constrained, complicating reconstruction of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation on different timescales. In this study we investigated changes in deep and intermediate water mass circulation patterns over the last 32 kyr based on the radiogenic Nd isotope compositions that serve as a water mass circulation proxy. Analysis of four marine sediment cores show that the deposition of large volumes of detrital carbonates during studied period had a large effect on the recorded in the sediment column signals. New data suggest active water mass circulation during the maximum extent of glacial ice sheets. The modern day ocean circulation patterns have emerged during the Late Holocene (6 ka).
    Description: Key Points: Estimation of Nd release via dissolution of detrital carbonates and its contribution to the authigenic ԑNd signatures in the Labrador Sea. Dissolution of detrital dolostones in the water column during Heinrich stadials at least partially controlled ɛNd signatures. During the LGM generally more radiogenic signatures possibly indicate active water mass advection and mixing in the Labrador Sea.

    Description: The late Miocene was a period of declining CO2 levels and extensive environmental changes, which likely had a large impact on monsoon strength as well as on the weathering and erosion intensity in the South Asian Monsoon domain. To improve our understanding of these feedback systems, detrital clays from the southern Bay of Bengal (International Ocean Discovery Program Site U1443) were analyzed for the radiogenic isotope compositions of Sr, Nd, and Pb to reconstruct changes in sediment provenance and weathering regime related to South Asian Monsoon rainfall from 9 to 5 Ma. The 100 kyr resolution late Miocene to earliest Pliocene record suggests overall low variability in the provenance of clays deposited on the Ninetyeast Ridge. However, at 7.3 Ma, Nd and Pb isotope compositions indicate a switch to an increased relative contribution from the Irrawaddy River (by ∼10%). This shift occurred during the global benthic δ13C decline, and we suggest that global cooling and increasing aridity resulted in an eastward shift of precipitation patterns leading to a more focused erosion of the Indo‐Burman Ranges. Sr isotope compositions were decoupled from Nd and Pb isotope signatures and became more radiogenic between 6 and 5 Ma. Grassland expansion generating thick, easily weatherable soils may have led to an environment supporting intense chemical weathering, which is likely responsible for the elevated detrital clay 87Sr/86Sr ratios during this time. This change in Sr isotope signatures may also have contributed to the late Miocene increase of the global seawater Sr isotope composition.
    Description: Plain Language Summary: The South Asian or Indian monsoon affects the lives of billions. Through the erosion and weathering of rocks, the monsoon also has the potential to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through increased weathering in the region including the Himalaya Mountains. The late Miocene, between 9 and 5 million years ago, was a period of global cooling and proliferation of grasslands in different regions including South Asia. Here, we examine the composition of clays formed by rock weathering during the late Miocene to determine their source region around the Bay of Bengal. The results suggest a generally stable mixture of sources with the strongest sources being regions with the highest monsoon rainfall today. We identify slight changes in the mixture of sources, which accompany a global change in carbon cycling, highlighting the role monsoon climate likely played in these changes. Toward the end of the Miocene, we identify a change in the Sr isotopes, which was not caused by source changes but by the strength of the rock weathering. This change has been observed in global records and it seems likely that it was driven by rock weathering in the South Asian Monsoon region.
    Description: Highlights: Radiogenic isotope compositions of detrital clays from the Bay of Bengal indicate a generally stable provenance from 9 to 5 Ma. A step change in Nd and Pb isotope compositions at ∼7.3 Ma reflects a climatically driven eastward shift in precipitation patterns resulting in enhanced erosion of the Indo‐Burman Ranges. Elevated 87Sr/86Sr between 6 and 5 Ma was likely related to increased chemical weathering caused by thicker soils and by C4 plant expansion.

    Description: Radiogenic neodymium (Nd) isotopes (ɛNd) have the potential to serve as a geochemical tracer of the marine origin of Arctic sea ice. This capability results from pronounced ɛNd differences between the distinct marine and riverine sources, which feed the surface waters from which the ice forms. The first dissolved Nd isotope and rare earth element (REE) concentration data obtained from Arctic sea ice collected across the Fram Strait during RV Polarstern cruise PS85 in 2014 confirm the incorporation and preservation of the parental surface seawater ɛNd signatures despite efficient REE rejection. The large ɛNd variability between ice floes and within sea ice cores (−32 to −10) reflects changes in water mass distribution during ice growth and drift from the central Arctic Ocean to Fram Strait. In addition to the parental seawater composition, our new approach facilitates the reconstruction of the transfer of matter between the atmosphere, the sea ice and the ocean. In conjunction with satellite-derived drift trajectories, we enable a more accurate assessment of sea ice origin and spatiotemporal evolution, benefiting studies of sea ice biology, biodiversity, and biogeochemistry.
