Mass Balance Modeling of Seawater Evolution

Forward and inverse mass‑balance models quantify how changing inputs/outputs govern the elemental and isotopic composition of seawater.

• Approach: reservoir–flux models, Monte Carlo ensembles, data assimilation
• Outputs: time‑dependent [Li], δ⁷Li, ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr, δ²⁶Mg
• Use cases: tectonic vs. climatic controls; uncertainty quantification
