Minerals in the barite (BaSO4)–celestine (SrSO4) solid solution series,(Ba, Sr) SO4, occur in
a remarkably diverse range of sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous geological …

Large volumes of produced water are generated and discharged to the coastal and ocean
waters worldwide from offshore oil and gas production facilities. There is concern that the …

Variations in the accumulation rate of barium in marine sediments are thought to be
indicative of variations in marine biological productivity through time. However, the use of Ba …

Marine barite (BaSO4) is produced in the water column in association with decaying organic
matter; its distribution in the water column and in core-top sediments closely corresponds …

To understand better the processes that control the transport of particulate barium through
the water column and its preservation in marine sediments, we measured particulate barium …

Barium has been used as a biogeochemical tracer for alkalinity, productivity, and riverine
inputs in the ocean, but its oceanic cycle remains poorly constrained. Barium stable isotope …

The accumulation of barium (Ba) in marine sediments is considered to be a robust proxy for
export production, although this application can be limited by uncertainty in BaSO 4 …

This paper addresses the question of the eventual control of barium concentration in
seawater by an equilibrium with barite. For this, we have used a new thermodynamic model …

Distributions of dissolved and particulate rare earth elements (REEs) and seawater
neodymium isotopic composition (ε Nd) were established in samples from the BONUS …

The distribution of barium (Ba) concentrations in seawater resembles that of nutrients and
Ba has been widely used as a proxy of paleoproductivity. However, the exact mechanisms …
