Barium Isotopes - Drivers, Dependencies, and Distributions Through Space and Time

In the marine environment barium isotope ( 138Ba) variations are driven by barite cycling. This Element examines these variations; evaluates their global, regional, local, and geological controls; and explores how 138Ba can be exploited to constrain the origin of enigmatic sedimentary sulfates and study marine biogeochemistry over Earth's history.

Summary

In the marine environment barium isotope (d138Ba) variations are driven by barite cycling. This Element examines these variations; evaluates their global, regional, local, and geological controls; and explores how d138Ba can be exploited to constrain the origin of enigmatic sedimentary sulfates and study marine biogeochemistry over Earth's history.
