Abstract

Abstract

Although marine Hf isotope have been reported since the 1980s,they are not paid much attention to as a new proxy in tracing continental weathering and oceanic circulation until recently with the developments of analytical technology.The modern distribution of global seawater Hf isotopes and their Cenozoic evolution are reviewed.The most important phenomenon is that the seawater Nd-Hf isotopic compositions display a well-defined correlation,which clearly offsets from the terrestrial array.Based on these observations,the controversial issues on the sources of marine Hf isotopes are discussed,including the contributions of marine hydrothermal systems,continental incongruent weathering,dissolution of shelf and oceanic island sediments,and effect of different resident times between Hf and Nd.Clarifying the geochemical behavior of marine Hf is crucially important for better understanding the marine Hf cycling and paleoceanic evolution.
