Geochemical variations in marine biogenic carbonates that are preserved in the geological
record serve as proxies of past environmental change. However, interpreting most proxies is …

A surface reaction kinetic model is developed for predicting Ca isotope fractionation and
metal/Ca ratios of calcite as a function of rate of precipitation from aqueous solution. The …

Aqueous–solid solution (AQ-SS) processes have garnered increasing attention from
geochemists and environmental engineers because they play major roles in the fate and …

Massive scleractinian corals secrete an aragonitic skeleton which incorporates a large array
of chemical tracers. Corals present several advantages for palaeoclimate research: they …

This study presents the results from precipitation experiments carried out to investigate the
partitioning of the alkaline earth cations Mg2+, Ca2+, Sr2+, and Ba2+ between abiogenic …

Calcite growth experiments have been performed in the presence of aqueous Mg at 25° C
and 1bar pCO2 to quantify magnesium partition coefficient DMg=(Mg/Ca) solid (Mg/Ca) fluid …

The Δ 47 (paleo) thermometer has opened a new avenue to determine carbonate formation
temperatures independent of the oxygen isotopic composition of the fluid from which the …

Stable oxygen isotopic fractionation during inorganic calcite precipitation was
experimentally studied by spontaneous precipitation at various pH (8.3< pH< 10.5) …

It is well known that skeletal remains of carbonate secreting organisms can provide a wealth
of information about past environments. Sr/Ca ratios have been successfully used as a …

We report the first high resolution stalagmite record from Indian Central Himalaya by using a
combined oxygen and carbon isotopic study spanning the last 4000 years. In addition to the …
