Chemical analyses of coral skeletons are useful for reconstructing past ocean conditions. Simultaneous measurements of Ba and Sr to Ca ratios in coral samples have predominantly been achieved by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). We demonstrate a method that expands the applicati...
