Large-scale groundwater flow and sedimentary diagenesis in continental shelves influence marine chemical budgets

Abstract The major ion chemistry of the ocean has been assumed to be controlled by river input, hydrothermal circulation at mid-ocean ridges, carbonate production, and low-temperature alteration of seafloor basalt, but marine chemical budgets remain difficult to balance. Here we propose that large-s...
