This section presents the GEOTRACES scientific activities.
Continuous record of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current latitude over the last glacial-interglacial cycles
The meridional positions of the oceanic fronts separating subtropical and Antarctic waters are key to constraining the mechanisms that drive the degassing of deeply-stored CO2 at the end of the glacial periods…
23 Million Years of iron sources reconstructed in the Northwest Pacific Ocean using iron isotopes in a ferromanganese crust
Using iron isotopes and elemental records, Chu and co-workers analysed an iron-manganese crust recovered from the Hongyan Seamount, and reconstructed the sources of dissolved Fe to the Northwest Pacific Ocean…
Variability of the past deep-water masses in the Arabian Sea over the last 41ka
Shukla and colleagues propose a high-resolution authigenic ƐNd record measured from a sediment core located in the eastern Arabian Sea…
Arctic outflows to Davis Strait and the Labrador Sea traced by radionuclide distributions
This study demonstrates that Arctic outflows through the Canadian Arctic Archipelago play a much more significant role than previously recognised.
Zinc and lead isotopes reveal human footprint on the most remote oceanic regions
Benaltabet and co-workers analysed suspended particles collected on GEOTRACES GP21 cruise tracked from Chile to New Caledonia.
Organic binding site heterogeneity controls amorphous ferric oxy-hydroxides oceanic sink
In oxygenated seawater iron binds to hydroxide ions, which results in authigenic Fe precipitation as amorphous ferric oxy-hydroxide…
Microbial trace metal transport in distinct water masses of the Southern Indian Ocean
Zhang and colleagues used genes coding for membrane transporters as proxies to map the distribution of the uptake and efflux of the trace metals…
Contraction of North Atlantic Deep Water during glacial times: a paradigm called into question
Blaser and co-authors propose a new distribution of deep-water masses in the Atlantic Ocean during the Last Glacial Maximum and the Heinrich Stadial 1…
Authigenic radiogenic neodymium isotope composition traces millennial-scale overturning circulation variability in the Arabian Sea
The neodymium isotopic signature of the sediment authigenic fraction is, a priori, a valuable proxy for reconstructing deep-water mass trajectories…
