Cerium Anomalies and Paleoredox

Ce anomalies track changes in oxygen availability due to the anomalous redox-sensitivity of Ce compared with the other rare earth elements. This review focusses on the systematics of the Ce anomaly proxy, the preservation and extraction of the signal in sedimentary rocks, and the potential applications of the proxy.

List of contents

1. Introduction; 2. Underpinning of the Proxy; 3. Materials and Methods; 4. Case Studies; 5. Future Prospects; 6. Key Papers.
