The ratio of barium to calcium in coral skeletons (Ba/Cacoral) is broadly used as a proxy for tracking terrestrial/river runoff. There are, however, inconsistencies in Ba/Cacoral records that have prompted caution in its reliability as an environmental proxy. Direct comparisons between in-situ seawa...
