New analysis of strontium isotopes reveals how the carbon cycle responds to changing climate
New analysis of strontium isotopes reveals how the global carbon cycle responds to changing climate.
April 6, 2021
A new analysis of strontium isotopes in marine sediments has enabled scientists to reconstruct fluctuations in ocean chemistry reflecting changing climate conditions over the past 35 million years.
Science, provide new insights into the inner workings of the global carbon cycle and the processes by which carbon is removed from the environment through the deposition of carbonates. Strontium is very similar to calcium, so it gets incorporated into the calcium carbonate shells of marine organisms, said lead author Adina Paytan of the University of California, Santa Cruz.

An invisible flow of groundwater seeps into the ocean along coastlines all over the world. Scientists have tended to disregard its contributions to ocean chemistry, focusing on the far greater volumes of water and dissolved material entering the sea from rivers and streams, but a new study finds groundwater discharge plays a more significant role than had been thought.
