Uranium Distribution and Incorporation Mechanism in Deep-Sea Corals: Implications for Seawater [CO32–] Proxies

A conservative element in seawater, uranium is readily incorporated into the aragonitic skeletons of scleractinian corals, making them an important paleoclimate archive that can be absolutely dated with U-Th techniques. In addition, uranium concentrations (U/Ca ratios) in corals have been suggested...
