Science Highlights
Some recent GEOTRACES science findings are reported below.
Shedding light on Arctic Mercury
New research is now shining a light on mercury cycling on the Arctic shelf.
Trace metal quotas in small flagellates: diatoms are challenged!
Sofen and colleagues found that in natural plankton assemblages and in culture, small flagellates operated at the lower range of iron quotas.
A vivid picture of particle distribution and sources in the Arctic Ocean
Extensive description of particle concentrations and chlorophyll-a fluorescence distribution along Arctic GEOTRACES sections.
The Tonga arc, an iron boundary in the South West Pacific Ocean
As part of the TONGA GEOTRACES process study, Tilliette and colleagues identified high dissolved iron concentrations in the west of the Tonga arc.
Dominance of the benthic flux of rare earth elements on continental shelves
Deng and his colleagues focus on one of the largest land–ocean interfaces in Asia, the Changjiang River–East China Sea system.
Linear correlation between Dissolved Gaseous Mercury and Dissolved Inorganic Carbon opens new modelling perspectives
Živković and his colleagues led a close study of the mercury speciation along the 40°S GEOTRACES section.
High resolution of dissolved and particulate barium distributions in the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean reveal the importance of the margin sources on the oceanic barium budget
Rahman and co-workers performed intensive samplings and analyses of barium along the GEOTRACES GA03 and GP16 transects.
