Extract

The Challenger Expedition inaugurated the beginning of a thorough study of all chemical elements in marine and ocean sediments. The first determinations of radioactive elements in ocean sediments (Joly 1908) attracted scientific attention because the behaviour of these elements in the natural environment may be used as a measure of some processes occurring in the sea.
