Science Highlights

23 million years of productivity reconstructed in the Central Pacific Ocean using past and modern proxies

Using diverse geochemical proxies, Chu and colleagues analysed an iron–manganese crust to reconstruct central Pacific productivity over the past 23 million years.

Lead isotopes reveal that hydrothermal variability is driven by Sea‐Level change and transient magmatism

De and colleagues present the first millennial-scale reconstruction of hydrothermal variability at a mid-ocean ridge using lead isotopes from iron-manganese coatings.

Long-range transport of iron via the Agulhas Current and counter-current: a boon for the phytoplankton

Authors establish that significant iron fertilisation via the Agulhas current explains the Indian Subantarctic blooms.
