Evaluating Zr/Rb Ratio From XRF Scanning as an Indicator of Grain‐Size Variations of Glaciomarine Sediments in the Southern Ocean

Abstract The ln(Zr/Rb) count ratio derived from X‐ray fluorescence (XRF) core scanning holds potential as a high‐resolution tracer for grain‐size variations of glaciomarine sediments, and hence current strength. To evaluate this approach, we conducted high‐resolution grain‐size measurements, togethe...
