Modeling the paleo-seawater radiogenic strontium isotope record: A case study of the Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous

While uniformitarianism underlies many aspects of the Earth sciences, modeling geochemical cycles throughout Earth history requires critically assessing the reliability and constancy of projecting modern fluxes and their isotope ratios into deep geologic time. In this study, we develop an iterative technique for modeling the radiogenic strontium isotope composition (R87 = 87Sr/86Sr) of seawater (sw) during the Phanerozoic utilizing as a...
