Reconstructing Ocean pH with Boron Isotopes in Foraminifera

In order to better understand the effect of CO 2 on the Earth system in the future, geologists may look to CO 2 -induced environmental change in Earth's past. Here we describe how CO 2 can be reconstructed using the boron isotopic composition (δ 11 B) of marine calcium carbonate. We review the...

description In order to better understand the effect of CO 2 on the Earth system in the future, geologists may look to CO 2 -induced environmental change in Earth's past. Here we describe how CO 2 can be reconstructed using the boron isotopic composition (δ 11 B) of marine calcium carbonate. We review the chemical principles that underlie the proxy, summarize the available calibration data, and detail how boron isotopes can be used to estimate ocean pH and ultimately atmospheric CO 2 in the past. δ 11 B in a variety of marine carbonates shows a coherent relationship with seawater pH, in broad agreement with simple models for this proxy. Offsets between measured and predicted δ 11 B may in part be explained by physiological influences, though the exact mechanisms of boron incorporation into carbonate remain unknown. Despite these uncertainties, we demonstrate that δ 11 B may provide crucial constraints on past ocean acidification and atmospheric CO 2 .
