This chapter reviews the boron isotopic composition of the ocean floor, including pristine
igneous oceanic crust such as mid-ocean ridge basalts and ocean island basalts and their …

Lead adversely impacts the health of humans, animals, and the natural environment. Higher
lead burdens in warm weather occur in humans, domesticated and wild animals; land and …

Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) mapping is a
rapidly expanding field in the geosciences because of the wealth of spatial information it …

Predator loss and climate change are hallmarks of the Anthropocene yet their interactive
effects are largely unknown. Here, we show that massive calcareous reefs, built slowly by …

Coralline algae provide important ecosystem services but are susceptible to the impacts of
ocean acidification. However, the mechanisms are uncertain, and the magnitude is species …

Research purpose and findings Coralline algae are key biological substrates of many
carbonate systems globally. Their capacity to build enduring crusts that underpin the …

Over the past decade, sclerochronological research has continued to develop rapidly and is
diversifying with respect to methods, taxa, geographic coverage as well as temporal depth …

Coral calcification is a complex biologically controlled process of hard skeleton formation,
and it is influenced by environmental conditions. The chemical composition of coral …

Coastal pH and total alkalinity are regulated by a diverse range of local processes
superimposed on global trends of warming and ocean acidification, yet few studies have …

The boron isotope composition of foraminifera provides a powerful tracer for CO 2 change
over geological time. This proxy is based on the equilibrium of boron and its isotopes in …
