Intrusion of saltwater into freshwater coastal aquifers poisons an essential resource. Such
intrusions are occurring along coastlines worldwide due largely to the over-pumping of …

Abstract Coral Ba/Ca is a proxy for seawater barium concentration that varies with upwelling,
terrigenous input, and marine productivity whereas coral Sr/Ca varies with temperature. We …

The increase in sediment and nutrient loads entering the coastal waters of the Great Barrier
Reef (GBR) and the associated degradation of water quality represents a major threat to …

Logging of tropical primary forests is a widely acknowledged global issue threatening
biodiversity hotspots and indigenous communities leading to significant land erosion and …

Salinity in the Indonesian seas integrates regional oceanographic and atmospheric
processes, such as Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) and monsoon rainfall. Here we present a …

We present a monthly resolved stable Ba isotope record (δ 138 Ba coral) of a young fossil
coral (Porites) from the eastern side of the Andaman Islands (NE Indian Ocean), which grew …

Barium (Ba) plays a crucial role as a tracer element in elucidating essential marine
biogeochemical processes. However, the limited knowledge regarding Ba sources and …

Oil exploration and drilling activities are known to have catastrophic effects on marine
environments and ecosystems, yet full understanding of these effects is hindered by sparse …

The stable carbon isotope composition (δ 13 C) in coral skeletons can be used to
reconstruct the evolution of the dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) in surface seawater, and its …
