Coral reefs maintain extraordinary biodiversity and provide protection from tsunamis and
storm surge, but inshore coral reef health is degrading in many regions due to deteriorating …

High-resolution marine data are critical to evaluating anthropogenic impacts on our
environment. Considering the spatial and temporal limitations of direct instrumental …

Abstract Coral Ba/Ca is a proxy for seawater barium concentration that varies with upwelling,
terrigenous input, and marine productivity whereas coral Sr/Ca varies with temperature. We …

Barium isotopes could be a novel tracer in low-temperature geochemical processes such as
the Ba cycle in rivers and oceans. Equilibrium Ba isotope fractionation between Ba-hosting …

The coral skeleton barium to calcium ratio (Ba/Ca coral), a proxy for seawater barium
concentrations (Ba SW), has been interpreted as a tracer of upwelling based on the …

Coral trace element proxies of terrestrial runoff are widely applied to document and quantify
historical changes in river discharge, constituent loads and land disturbance. However …

Abstract Coral skeletal Ba/Ca (Ba/Ca cor) has been found to be highly correlated with river
discharge in some coastal settings. However, any hydrologic interpretation of Ba/Ca cor time …

Abrolhos is the largest and most diverse coral reef system in the South Atlantic. It is home to
several endemic coral species and a site of cetaceous reproduction. Like any other reef …

Barium/calcium ratios in the skeletons of scleractinian shallow-water corals have been used
as proxies for coastal and oceanic processes such as river discharge, oceanic upwelling …

The increase in sediment and nutrient loads entering the coastal waters of the Great Barrier
Reef (GBR) and the associated degradation of water quality represents a major threat to …
