Abstract:

Atmospheric pCO2 regulates the global climates on both short-and long-term timescales. Knowledge of evolution of atmospheric pCO2 in the past would provide a potential possibility to predict changes in the future. An increasing number of studies have shown that marine foraminiferal δ11B has great potential to be a reliable palaeo-pH proxy, hence, allows reconstructions of the atmospheric pCO2. In this paper, we firstly reviewed on the boron isotopes in marine foraminifers, as well as the basis of the boron ...
