Barium isotope cycling in the marine environment: Pathways of fractionation and implications for paleoceanographic applications

Removal of particulate organic carbon (POC) from sunlit surface waters into the deep ocean represents a climatically important sink of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂), linking the biogeochemical cycling of POC to CO₂-driven climate change. As POC is not well preserved in the sediment record, other...
