Coralline algae are globally distributed benthic primary producers that secrete calcium
carbonate skeletons. In the context of ocean acidification, they have received much recent …

The Dutch ethologist Niko Tinbergen famously distinguished between proximal and ultimate
explanations in biology. Proximally, biologists seek a mechanistic understanding of how …

1.1 Background Carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the most impor-tant gases in the
atmosphere, affecting the radiative heat balance of the earth as well as the calcium …

Future anthropogenic emissions of CO 2 and the resulting ocean acidification may have
severe consequences for marine calcifying organisms and ecosystems. Marine calcifiers …

This chapter focuses almost exclusively on marine evaporites and in particular on how the
chemistry of seawater is reflected in the mineralogy and facies distribution of deposits in …

Coralline algae are among the most sensitive calcifying organisms to ocean acidification as
a result of increased atmospheric carbon dioxide (pCO2). Little is known, however, about the …

Synchronized transitions in the polymorph mineralogy of the major reef-building and
sediment-producing calcareous marine organisms and abiotic CaCO 3 precipitates (ooids …

We estimate tropical Atlantic upper ocean temperatures using oxygen isotope and Mg/Ca
ratios in well‐preserved planktonic foraminifera extracted from Albian through Santonian …

Major ion compositions of primary fluid inclusions from terminal Proterozoic (ca. 544 Ma)
and Early Cambrian (ca. 515 Ma) marine halites indicate that seawater Ca2+ concentrations …

Seawater carbonate chemistry of the mixed layer of the oceans is changing rapidly in
response to increases in atmospheric CO2. The formation and dissolution of calcium …
