Boron in CaCO 3 as a record of past seawater carbonate chemistry
Boron incorporated in marine biogenic carbonates records the pH of seawater during precipitation. From reconstructing atmospheric CO2 beyond ice-core records to deciphering the ocean's role in storing and releasing carbon, boron is proving to be a vital tool in paleoclimate research.
