Reply to comment by Chin-Chang Hung et al on 'How accurate are Th-234 measurements in seawater based on the MnO2-impregnated cartridge technique?‘‘
We disagree that the comparison of the small-volume MnO2coprecipitation method and the MnO2,cartridge method of Hung et al.[2008] is adequate. This is because at least some of the small-volume234Th data used for their compar-ison relied on an early protocol of the small- volume method that did not i...
