World Data Ocean keeps PGE in one place: one story so far. The section currently leads with “Why Atlantic sediments hold fewer rare earth elements than Pacific”. Atlantic pelagic sediments contain substantially lower concentrations of rare earth elements than their Pacific counterparts, a contrast with direct implications for future resource exploration.

Why Atlantic sediments hold fewer rare earth elements than Pacific

Atlantic pelagic sediments contain substantially lower concentrations of rare earth elements than their Pacific counterparts, a contrast with direct implications for future resource exploration. This study provides the first quantitative assessment of element partitioning within Brazil Basin sediments, revealing that phosphate phases dominate as REY carriers, but an adsorbed complex accounts for most of the enrichment. Higher sedimentation rates in the Atlantic dilute bioapatite and limit pore-water contact.
