Multi-colony coral skeletal Ba/Ca from Singapore’s turbid urban reefs : relationship with contemporaneous in-situ seawater parameters by Tanzil, Jani Thuaibah Isa, Goodkin, Nathalie Fairbank, Sin, T. M., Chen, Mengli, Fabbro, Gareth Nicholas, Boyle, E. A., Lee, A. C., Toh, K. B.

“…There was also no clear relationship between Ba/Cacoral and skeletal luminescence G/B (a coral proxy strongly linked with salinity and river runoff). This implies that (1) the incorporation of terrestrially derived humic-like substances into the coral is independent of Ba, and (2) it is likely factors other than freshwater discharge/flood events are driving the poor reproducibility of Ba/Cacoral and disconnect with BaSW at our study sites. …”
