Silicon fluxes and isotope composition of direct groundwater discharge into the Bay of Bengal and the effect on the global ocean silicon isotope budget

Abstract:

This study presents silicon isotope data for rivers and groundwater from the Bengal Basin. Variations of Si isotope ratios were analyzed by means of high-resolution MC-ICP-MS using a NuPlasma HR. The rivers show typical positive δ30Si values between 1.3 and 1.7‰, whereas the groundwater samples show decreasing δ30Si values from 1.3‰ in shallow groundwater to - 0.2‰ in the deeper groundwater. Beside a very distinctive isotope composition, the concentration of dissolved Si in these groundwater ...
