Improving the inverse modeling of a trace isotope: how precisely can radium-228 fluxes toward the ocean and submarine groundwater discharge be estimated?
Radium-228 (<sup>228</sup>Ra), an almost conservative trace isotope in the ocean, supplied from the continental shelves and removed by a known radioactive decay (<i>T</i><sub>1∕2</sub> = 5. 75 years), can be used as a proxy to constrain shelf fluxes of other tr...
