Beryllium isotope signatures of ice shelves and sub-ice shelf
Introduction. Beryllium isotopes display a range of properties that make them useful tracers of geochemical processes and sediment sources. 10 Be is produced in the atmosphere (termed meteoric 10 Be) by interaction of cosmic rays with oxygen nuclei, and decays with a 1.387-million-yr half-life (Chmeleff et al., 2010). Cosmic rays also interact …
About: Isotopes of beryllium
Beryllium (4Be) has 11 known isotopes and 3 known isomers, but only one of these isotopes (9Be) is stable and a primordial nuclide. As such, beryllium is considered a monoisotopic element. ... Presence of 7Be in sediments is often used to establish that they are fresh, i.e. less than about 3–4 months in age, or about two half-lives of 7Be.
Beryllium-7 as a Tracer of Short-Term Sediment Deposition …
Short-term (∼monthly) sediment deposition and resuspension rates of surficial bed sediments in two PCB-laden impoundments on the Fox River, WI, were determined in the summer and fall of 1998 using 7Be, a naturally occurring radioisotope produced in the atmosphere. Decay-corrected activities and inventories of 7Be were …

In fact, as evident from studies reconstructing the past Nd and Pb isotope composition of Arctic bottom waters from early diagenetic Mn-Fe coatings of the sediment particles [Haley et al., 2008a, 2008b], these Arctic Ocean sediments of the Lomonosov Ridge are very reliable archives for authigenic metals, including Be, because the low …

Spatial variations of authigenic beryllium isotopes in surface
Thus, the spatial distribution of Be isotopes in surface sediments of the Antarctic oceans can be used as a proxy for sea ice dynamics and sedimentary environments. This study documents spatial variations in authigenic 9Be and 10Be concentrations and 10Be/9Be ratios in different glacial settings in the Weddell and Ross …

increase of 10Be/9Be ratio from terrestrial riverine sediment to marine sediment was observed (Bernhardt et al., 2020).

The global beryllium 10 cycle
Beryllium 10 (t 1/2 = 1.5 × 10 6 years) ... Beryllium 10 from sediments and river water is quickly deposited in the nearshore sediment along the coastlines along with a small amount of 10 Be that is released and dispersed to the deep sea. In the open sea, most of the beryllium is in solution and the rest resides on particulate matter, much of ...

Beryllium-9, the stable isotope, is weathered from mineral lattices before entering the riverine dissolved or exchangeable phase. The cosmogenic radioisotope 10 Be ( t 1 2 = 1.5 Myr) is produced primarily in the atmosphere and is brought into riverine systems, via rainfall, in dissolved or exchangeable form; it may be used to examine the ...

Although beryllium isotopes are intensely scavenged on the shelf areas, at the same time the shelf sediments release terrigenous beryllium (mainly 9 Be) into seawater (Suhrhoff et al., 2019). The continuous exchange process between dissolved and particulate phases can result in a net reduction of the 10 Be/ 9 Be ratio before it reaches ...
