NotesThis technical article discusses the use of argon and neodymium isotopes to learn about the origins of sediment deposits in the Oregon continental margin, and how they have changed over the last 2,500 years. "Overall, the combined Ar–Nd isotopic technique provides insight into the coupling of land surface processes and ocean circulation related to climate change and will be a useful provenance tool in a variety of geologic/climatic settings."
