Introduction
I'm a marine geochemist by training. Currently, I'm engaged in the development of innovative plankton imaging system. I'm involved in all steps of the development from the hardware design to application, image processing and interpretation using AI.

The process of acquiring microscopic images in life sciences often results in image degradation and corruption, characterised by the presence of noise and blur, which poses significant challenges in accurately analysing and interpreting the obtained data. This paper proposes LUCYD, a novel method for the restoration of volumetric microscopy images...

We present dissolved neodymium and hafnium concentrations and isotope compositions of surface and deep-water masses from the Bay of Biscay. Neodymium isotope signatures in surface waters of the Bay of Biscay are mostly dominated by local weathering inputs from the surrounding continental margin. Subsurface Eastern North Atlantic Central Water (ENAC...
The role of accessory minerals in the incongruent release of Hf and Pb during continental weathering and its implications for the generation of distinct seawater isotope compositions is subject of debate. While it has been suggested that radiogenic Hf and Pb isotope signatures released during the dissolution of rocks are controlled by the relative...
The past and present variability of ocean circulation and weathering inputs can be reconstructed from the geochemical composition of seawater and marine sediments. Among other proxies, the radiogenic isotope compositions of neodymium (Nd), hafnium (Hf) and lead (Pb) have been applied to reliably trace variations in the ocean that have been related...
Combined seawater radiogenic hafnium (Hf) and neodymium (Nd) isotope compositions were extracted from bulk sediment leachates and foraminifera of Site 1088, ODP Leg 177, 2082 m water depth on the Agulhas Ridge. The new data provide a continuous reconstruction of long and short-term changes in ocean circulation and continental weathering inputs sinc...

Questions
Question (1)
I'm trying to measure Hf isotopes in CaCO3 rich (up to 98 %) sediment (and maybe uncleaned foram tests). To get reliable data on our machine I need ~20ng of Hf. However, it is really hard to leach Hf out of carbonate rich sediments. I don't know where in the leaching and purification process (Gutjahr et al., 2007) I loose or/and miss to dissolve the Hf. Has anybody an idea, why Hf could/would behave differently in presence of CaCO3?
