Silicon fluxes and isotope composition of direct groundwater discharge into the Bay of Bengal and the effect on the global ocean silicon isotope budget

This study presents silicon isotope data for rivers and groundwater from the Bengal Basin. Variations of Si isotope ratios were analyzed by means of high-resolution MC-ICP-MS using a NuPlasma HR. The rivers show typical positive δ30Si values between 1.3 and 1.7‰, whereas the groundwater samples show...
