This paper contains the results of an extensive isotopic study United States Geological Survey GSD-1G and MPI-DING reference glasses. Thirteen different laboratories were involved using high-precision bulk (TIMS, MC-ICP-MS) microanalytical (LA-MC-ICP-MS, LA-ICP-MS) techniques. Detailed studies performed to demonstrate large-scale small-scale homogeneity Together with previously published data from ten other laboratories, preliminary information values as well their uncertainties at 95%...
Abstract This case study of Kongsfjorden, western coastal Svalbard, provides insights on how freshwater runoff from marine‐ and land‐terminating glaciers influences the biogeochemical cycles distribution patterns carbon, nutrients, trace elements in an Arctic fjord system. We collected samples water column at stations along axis proglacial river catchments, analyzed concentrations dissolved elements, together with as well alkalinity inorganic carbon. Statistical tools were applied to...
Abstract The Arctic is changing rapidly due to the amplification of global temperature trends, causing profound impacts on ice sheet in Greenland, glaciers, frozen ground, ecosystems, and societies. Here, we focus that atmospheric circulation causes addition climate warming trends. We combine time series glacier mass balance from temporal satellite gravimetry measurements (GRACE/GRACE-FO; 2002–2023), active layer thickness permafrost areas ESA’s Climate Change Initiative remote sensing...
Rationale Boron isotopes are a powerful tool for pH reconstruction in marine carbonates and as tracer fluid–mineral interaction geochemistry. Microanalytical approaches based on laser ablation multi‐collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA‐MC‐ICP‐MS) often suffer from effects induced by the sample matrix. In this study, we investigate matrix‐independent analyses of B isotopic ratios apply technique to cold‐water corals. Methods We employ customized 193 nm femtosecond system...

Abstract. The boron isotopic composition (δ11B) of benthic foraminifera provides a valuable tool to reconstruct past deep-water pH. As the abundance monospecific species might be limited in sediments, microanalytical techniques can help overcome this problem, but such studies on foraminiferal δ11B are sparse. In addition, microanalytics provide information distribution at high spatial resolution increase knowledge biomineralization processes, for example. For study, we investigated intra-...
Cold-water corals (CWCs) are considered vulnerable to environmental changes. However, previous studies have focused on adult CWCs and mainly investigated the short-term effects of single stressors. So far, changes different CWC life stages unknown, both for multiple stressors over long time periods. Therefore, we conducted a six-month aquarium experiment with three Caryophyllia huinayensis study their physiological response (survival, somatic growth, calcification respiration) interactive...
