Seawater chemistry exerts an important control on the incorporation of trace elements into
the shells of marine calcifying organisms. Variability in the major ion chemistry of seawater is …

Accurate reconstructions of seawater salinity could provide valuable constraints for studying
past ocean circulation, the hydrological cycle and sea level change. Controlled growth …

Magnesium, incorporated in foraminiferal calcite (Mg/Ca CC), is used intensively to
reconstruct past seawater temperatures but, in addition to temperature, the Mg/Ca CC of …

Intra-test variability in Mg/Ca and other (trace) elements within large benthic foraminifera
(LBF) of the family Nummulitidae have been investigated using laser-ablation inductively …

Large benthic foraminifera (LBFs) are a vital component of coral reef carbonate production,
often overlooked due to their small size. These super-abundant calcifiers are crucial to reef …

Foraminifera are unicellular organisms that inhabit the oceans. They play an important role
in the global carbon cycle and record valuable paleoclimate information through the uptake …

Oxygen isotope ratios (δ18O) and Mg/Ca ratios in organically produced calcium carbonate
(calcite and aragonite) by marine species have been used as proxies for paleotemperature …

Element incorporation in shell calcite precipitated by foraminifera reflects the chemical and
physical properties of the seawater the foraminifera lived in and can therefore be used to …

Redox condition is an important factor that controls the behavior of various elements in an
aquatic environment. Incorporation of redox-sensitive trace elements in minerals describes …

Areas where CO2-enriched gases discharge into shallow-marine environments can serve
as natural laboratories to study the effects of elevated p CO2 (ie, ocean acidification) on …
