Follow the French GEOTRACES GS02 SWINGS cruise in the Southern Ocean
Major French contribution to the international GEOTRACES programme the SWINGS project involves 80 scientists (19 international laboratories, 6 countries).
Two synthesis articles resulting from the Joint GEOTRACES-PAGES Workshop available
They both assess the potential of a number of bioactive elements and their isotopes to inform on past ocean productivity.
Science Highlights
Thorium-Protactinium fate across the tropical Atlantic Ocean: what reveals the water column-sediment coupling
Twenty seawater profiles and twenty core-top 231-protactinium and 230-thorium analyses were realised by Ng and colleagues along five depth transects across the northern tropical Atlantic open ocean.
Constraining Oceanic Copper Cycling through Artificial Intelligence and Ocean Circulation Inverse Model
Using available observations of dissolved copper, artificial neural networks, and an ocean circulation inverse model, authors calculated a global estimate of the 3-dimensional distribution and cycling of dissolved copper in the ocean
Particulate rare earth elements distributions, processes and characterisation of nepheloids in the North Atlantic
Lagarde et al. realised the first basin scale section of particulate rare earth elements concentrations across the North Atlantic Ocean.
