Mg/ca Thermometry

Mg/Ca Thermometry is a geochemical proxy method that quantifies past sea surface temperatures by measuring the molar ratio of magnesium to calcium in the calcite shells of marine calcifying organisms, based on the temperature-dependent incorporation of magnesium during calcification.
