Systematic change of foraminiferal Mg/Ca ratios across a strong salinity gradient
The Mg/Ca ratio of foraminiferal calcite is an important proxy for estimating past ocean temperatures. Used in conjunction with δ18O of foraminiferal calcite it allows deconvolution of temperature and ice-volume signals to infer past ocean temperatures and salinities (assuming the relationship betwe...
