High mesopelagic carbon remineralization traced by particulate biogenic barium in the North Atlantic Ocean
The high resolution section of particulate “excess Ba” (Baxs) measured by Lemaitre and co-authors (2018, see reference below) along the GEOVIDE GA1 section (R/V Pourquoi Pas? spring 2014) confirmed the […]

Solute-particle interactions and the enhanced dissolved barium flux from the Ganga River estuary
Dissolved and particulate barium (Ba) were investigated in samples that were collected in six periods of contrasting water discharge over two years (2012 and 2013) by Saumik and Dalai (2016, […]

New insights into global barium cycling from the first barium isotope data for seawater
A new method developed by Horner and co-workers (2015, see reference below) allows for the determination of dissolved barium (Ba) isotopic compositions in seawater using nanogram quantities of Ba. The […]
