This section presents the GEOTRACES scientific activities.
Chen and co-workers analyzed an array of trace metals together with Rare Earth Elements in a salinity gradient in the Jinhae Bay, the largest semi-enclosed bay in South Korea…
Levier and co-authors have developed a new protocol measurement of the dissolved actinium in seawater.
Farmer and colleagues review the geochemical proxies based upon sedimentary isotope ratios of three abundant biologically mediated elements.
Horner and co-authors assess whether nine bioactive trace metals and their isotopes can be used as paleo-productivity proxies.
Roshan and DeVries explore the similarities and contrasts between oceanic cadmium and phosphate cycles using an Artificial Neural Network mapping technique and Ocean Circulation Inverse Model.
The findings demonstrate that glacial retreat and loss of ice-shelves may potentially result in increases in dissolved iron supply to surface waters downstream of large marine terminating glaciers in future.
Among other findings, authors find that the new opal flux is roughly a factor of two increase over previous estimates having important implications for the global silicon cycle.
This new compilation and gridded datasets offer a concrete way forward to improve the application of neodymium isotopes as a useful tracer of ocean circulation.
Paffrath and co-autors followed the relative contributions of the main Siberian rivers to the waters of the Transpolar Drift using neodymium parameters.
