Some recent GEOTRACES science findings are reported below.
Gonzalez-Santana and his collaborators demonstrated that the oxidation kinetic of the samples combined with analysis of triplicate subsamples led iron (II) concentrations to decrease with time.
Authors present a comprehensive review of iron and iron isotope sources, internal cycling, and sinks in the ocean.
Le Roy and colleagues report an oceanic section of Actinium-227 in the North Atlantic Ocean.
Smith and colleagues determined iodine-129, chlorofluorocarbons and sulfur hexafluoride during three GEOTRACES cruises in the Arctic Ocean.
Understanding the key processes that condition the net input of chemical species to the ocean is an important challenge…
