Publication: Molybdenum interacts directly with organic matter in sulfidic environments
Molybdenum is one of the most powerful elements used to track hydrogen sulfide and oxygen in the ocean from the geological record. Still, we have an incomplete understanding of the chemical removal pathway between ocean and sediments. Sediments deposited under anoxic and sulfidic waters display tight correlations between their contents of molybdenum (Mo) and total organic matter (TOC). Yet, association does not mean causation. Instead, … Read More
