Coupled strontium-sulfur cycle modeling and the Early Cretaceous sulfur isotope record

Coupled modeling of biogeochemical cycles leads to improved constraints on elemental fluxes and helps to identify mechanisms that drive secular variations in isotopic records. Here, we develop a coupled strontium-sulfur isotope mass-balance model to examine the Early Cretaceous marine sulfate (δ34Ssw) and strontium (87Sr/86Sr) isotope records. We also present an expanded marine barite S isotope record and pyrite S isotope record for the Early...
