dc.description.abstract | We assess the usefulness of the empirical boron partition coefficient, K<sub>D</sub> and B/Ca measured from planktonic foraminifera in estimation of pCO<sub>2</sub> using three different relationships between K<sub>D</sub> and temperature derived from various studies. Two sediment cores spanning the last 22 kyr were utilised, one from the intense CO<sub>2</sub> source region of the Western Arabian Sea (WAS) and another from the Eastern Arabian Sea (EAS). The sea-air difference in pCO<sub>2</sub> at these sites shows results contrary to the present day scenario. Moreover the reconstructions using the three K<sub>D</sub> relationships lead to assorted results which suggests that the K<sub>D</sub> approach may not be suitable in paleo-pCO<sub>2</sub> reconstructions | |
