Some recent GEOTRACES science findings are reported below.
Chen and co-authors reveal that the distributions of dissolved tracers at depth in the South Atlantic are predominantly controlled by the mixing of North Atlantic Deep Water and waters of Antarctic origin…
Traill and co-workers used an extended optimum multiparameter analysis water‐mass mixing model to determine the interplay between physical and biological processes, and sources/sinks driving dissolved iron distributions…
Mahieu and his co-workers present the conditional concentration and binding-strength of iron-binding ligands during the GEOTRACES TONGA cruise.
Numerical models are some of the principal tools for understanding the cycling of geochemical and biogeochemical tracers in the ocean…
Lamy and co-authors used sediment records from the pelagic central and remote South Pacific Ocean, to reconstruct the strength of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current and shifts of the Southern Ocean frontal system over the past roughly 5.3 Myr…
Moore and colleagues present results from radium-228 along the U.S. GEOTRACES Pacific Meridional Transect (GP15).
Ueki and co-authors reported the first sectional distributions of zirconium, hafnium and niobium along a north-south track in the Indian Ocean.
This study is challenging the belief that the onset of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current was solely triggered by the opening and deepening of Southern Ocean Gateways.
Gu and colleagues explore the temporal variation of iron over 11 cruises along the Peruvian shelf.
