Investigating the molybdenum and uranium redox proxies in a modern shallow anoxic carbonate rich marine sediment setting of the Malo Jezero (Mljet Lakes, Adriatic Sea)

The molybdenum (Mo) and uranium (U) isotope compositions recorded in carbonate rich sediments are emerging as promising paleo-redox proxies. However, the effects of early diagenetic effects within the sediments on these isotope systems are not well constrained. We examined the Mo and U isotopic systematics in anoxic carbonate rich sediments in a semi enclosed karstic marine lake (Malo Jezero) of the Island of Mljet, Adriatic Sea. Measurements of...
