Contemporary environmental challenges have emphasized the need to critically assess the
use of bivalve mollusks in chemical monitoring (identification and quantification of …

Systematic studies on the Mg distributions, the crystal orientations, the formation
mechanisms and the mechanical properties of biogenic high-Mg calcites in different marine …

Ocean acidification (OA) is altering the chemistry of the world's oceans at rates unparalleled
in the past roughly 1 million years. Understanding the impacts of this rapid change in …

The Sr/Ca and Mg/Ca ratios of many biogenic skeletons provide useful paleotemperature
estimates. As yet however, it has remained largely impossible to obtain such information …

The biogenic carbonate hard parts of fossil bivalves, cephalopods and brachiopods are
among the most widely exploited marine archives of Phanerozoic environmental and climate …

The shells of marine mollusks are widely used archives of past climate and ocean chemistry.
Whilst the measurement of mollusk δ 18 O to develop records of past climate change is a …

Anthropogenic CO 2 emissions have led to increasing global mean temperatures (a process
called global warming) and ocean acidification. Because both processes are occurring …

Partition coefficients of Mg and Sr (K Mg and K Sr) between calcite and fluid were
determined in crystals grown under different rates (V), where V is defined as the crystal …

Little is known about the fractionation of Li isotopes during formation of biogenic carbonates,
which form the most promising geological archives of past seawater composition. Here we …

We report on the concentrations of rare earths (REE), Y, Mg, Mn, Cu, Zn, Sr, Ba, Pb and U in
a series of wild scallops (Placopecten magellanicus) collected alive on the same day in …
