The correlation between concentrations of dissolved barium (dBa) and silicon (dSi) in the
modern ocean supports the use of Ba as a paleoceanographic proxy. However, the …

We diagnose the relative influences of local-scale biogeochemical cycling and regional-
scale ocean circulation on Atlantic barium cycling by analysing four new depth profiles of …

The globally-observed relationship between oceanic barium and the macronutrient silicic
acid results from the shared influence of large-scale ocean circulation and mixing on the two …

Barium has been used as a biogeochemical tracer for alkalinity, productivity, and riverine
inputs in the ocean, but its oceanic cycle remains poorly constrained. Barium stable isotope …

The high latitude regions play a key role in regulating the marine biogeochemical cycling of
barium (Ba) and the pre-formed Ba isotope compositions in the global ocean. In this study …

Barium (Ba) isotopes are a promising new tracer for riverine freshwater input to the ocean
and marine biogeochemical cycling. However, many processes that affect Ba cycling at …

The marine biogeochemical cycle of Ba is thought to be controlled by particulate BaSO 4
(barite) precipitation associated with the microbial oxidation of organic carbon and its …

The distribution of barium (Ba) concentrations in seawater resembles that of nutrients and
Ba has been widely used as a proxy of paleoproductivity. However, the exact mechanisms …

The accumulation of barium (Ba) in marine sediments is considered to be a robust proxy for
export production, although this application can be limited by uncertainty in BaSO 4 …

Barium (Ba) isotope variations offer the potential to trace environmental processes, including
long-term changes in river discharge and marine export production. Riverine inputs are an …
