Marine barite (BaSO4) is a relatively ubiquitous, though minor, component of ocean
sediments. Modern studies of the accumulation of barite in ocean sediments have …

Phytoplankton productivity and export sequester climatically significant quantities of
atmospheric carbon dioxide as particulate organic carbon through a suite of processes …

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 …

While barium (Ba) and strontium (Sr) stable isotopes are increasingly used as tracers of
biogeochemical processes and paleo-proxies, the role of biotic processes on Ba and Sr …

Mid-ocean ridge (MOR) hydrothermal vent fluids are enriched with dissolved barium, but
due to barite (BaSO 4) precipitation during mixing between Ba-bearing vent fluids and SO 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 …

Reconstruction of past seawater δ 138/134 Ba NIST (barium-isotopic compositions) can
augment existing proxies of water mass provenance and deep-ocean circulation. Deep-sea …

Barium (Ba) isotopes have been used to trace water mass mixing and export productivity in
the oceans. However, the sources, isotopic signature and seasonal variation of dissolved Ba …

Biogenic carbonates, including bivalve shells, record past environmental conditions, but
their interpretation requires understanding environmental and biological factors that affect …

Weathering is a key process in the transfer of material from continents to the hydrosphere. A
latosol profile in Zhanjiang, Guangdong Province, South China, formed through intense …
