    Abstract
  • Zinc isotope represents new tracers of oceanography, which is used to trace the source and migration of zinc in seawater. As important sources and/or sinks of zinc, the study of zinc isotopic composition of marine sediments is of great significance to our understanding of geochemical cycling of zinc. In addition, marine sediments record the composition of seawater, and the study of zinc isotope fractionation between marine sediments and seawater is a prerequisite for tracing zinc isotopic composition of ancient seawater. In this paper, researches on zinc isotopes of seawater and reservoirs in the ocean are systematically summarized, including zinc isotope study of riverine inputs, hydrothermal systems and different types of marine sediments (carbonate-rich sediments, terrigenous silicate fragments, siliceous sediments, ferromanganese nodules and suboxic/anoxic sediments), to explain the applications and importance of zinc isotope variations of marine sediments in paleoclimate, paleoenvironment and paleoceanography.
