  abstract = {{T}race {E}lements and {I}sotopes ({TEI}s) were measured as part of the {GEOTRACES} {PANDORA} cruise ({J}uly-{A}ugust 2012, {R}/{V} {L}'{A}talante), among them {R}are {E}arth {E}lements ({REE}s) as pertinent tracers of land-ocean inputs and water mass transformations. {T}his work discusses results of 19 dissolved {REE} (d{REE}) profiles measured using a trispike method in the {C}oral {S}ea and inside and at the exits of the {S}olomon {S}ea, a semi-enclosed sea with complex topography and straits. {O}verall, d{REE}s -except the insoluble {C}e- show nutrient like profiles, i.e. depleted at the surface and enriched at depth. {I}llustrative {N}d concentrations range from similar to 5 pmol/kg at the surface to > 25 pmol/kg at 5000 m depth. {H}owever, local d{REE} enrichments are observed, mostly in the {S}traits ({I}ndispensable, {S}olomon and {V}itiaz {S}traits) and along the island coasts. {A} box model allows calculating and discussing the fate of the d{REE}s in the different water layers flowing through the {S}olomon {S}ea. {F}inally, subtle variations revealed by {L}a, {C}e, {E}u anomalies and the normalized light versus heavy {REE} ratio (expressed as {N}d-n/{Y}b-n) allows the identification of specific mechanisms affecting the distribution of the different d{REE}s. {T}he positive {E}u anomaly observed in the surface layers reflects the basaltic origin of external inputs, consistent with the intensive weathering and/or volcanic activity affecting the surrounding islands. {T}hese data also confirm that the distributions of heavy d{REE}s (like {Y}b) are better correlated to the d{S}i concentrations than that of the other {REE}s. {T}his article is part of a special issue entitled: "{C}ycles of trace elements and isotopes in the ocean - {GEOT}-{RACES} and beyond" - edited by {T}im {M}. {C}onway, {T}ristan {H}omer, {Y}ves {P}lancherel, and {A}ridane {G}. {G}onzalez.},
