Abstract
An understanding of processes controlling the behaviour of rare earth elements (REEs) within estuarine sediments is essential for the effective use of REEs as tracers of environmental conditions. This study investigates the enrichment and fractionation of REEs in sediments with abundant iron monosulfides (FeS, measured as acid-volatile sulfide, median = 156
