Abstract: The isotope silicon-32, with a half-life of approximately 150 years, is a cosmic-ray-produced radioactive nuclide in the atmosphere. Due to its single source and the relatively constant production rate, silicon-32 with its chemical and biological characteristics like the other stable silicon isotopes always has been seen as an ideal clock and tracer which has the potential to fill the dating time-gap and to understand marine from 50 to 1 000 years geochemical-geophysical processes, e.g. the seawater mixing process in offshore and ocean, the geochemistry and cycle of silica in estuary and ocean, the particles mixing process in the deep sea bed, as well as the estimation of the sediment deposition rate and the establishment of the time-sequence to reflect the past marine environmental changes.
