Abstract A certain type of deep‐sea sediment exhibits very high content of rare earth elements and yttrium (REY) and is therefore expected to serve as a novel resource for these industrially essential metals. In this paper, we statistically analyzed the bulk chemical composition of deep‐sea sediments collected from the western North Pacific Ocean.

Changing Abundance of Magnetofossil Morphologies in Pelagic Red Clay Around Minamitorishima, Western North Pacific [PDF]
金沢大学理工研究域地球社会基盤学系Recent investigations have discovered an unexpected abundance of magnetofossils in oxic pelagic red clays. These have potential to serve as paleoenvironmental tracers in otherwise nonfossiliferous sediments. Here, we report on variations

CAELUS: Classification of sky conditions from 1-min time series of global solar irradiance using variability indices and dynamic thresholds [PDF]
Precise sky classification as a function of cloudiness is desirable or necessary in a variety of applications. CAELUS, a novel classification algorithm that relies on various thresholds to separate all possible sky conditions into six classes, is ...

Global distribution and trends of tropospheric ozone: An observation-based review [PDF]
Tropospheric ozone plays a major role in Earth’s atmospheric chemistry processes and also acts as an air pollutant and greenhouse gas. Due to its short lifetime, and dependence on sunlight and precursor emissions from natural and anthropogenic sources ...

Abstract Deep‐sea mud enriched in rare‐earth elements (REE), termed REE‐rich mud, is a promising seafloor mineral resource. Data from a decade of surveys have revealed that the mud with the highest REE concentration occurs in the pelagic realm of the western North Pacific Ocean, with at least two layers of elevated REE concentration.
