This research article analyzes the concentration and isotope data for Li, Mg, Ca, Sr, and Ba in groundwater samples collected from coastal aquifers around the world to estimate the flux of these elements from groundwater discharge into the oceans. The authors find that groundwater-derived solute fluxes represent at least 5% of riverine fluxes for these elements. Additionally, the isotope signatures of Mg, Ca, and Sr from global groundwater discharge are distinct from average riverine values, while Li and Ba are isotopically indistinguishable from rivers. The magnitude and isotope compositions of global groundwater fluxes depend strongly on the distribution of coastal lithology included in flux models.
