Impressive set of data reveal new features on the modern cadmium–phosphate relationship
Xie and co-authors (2015, see reference below) report vertical profiles of dissolved cadmium (Cd) in the western South Atlantic Ocean (GEOTRACES section GA02), which show nutrient-like distributions similar to those […]
Lead isotopes tracks leakage of Indian Ocean seawater into the Atlantic Ocean
Stable lead isotopes have been measured by Maxence Paul and co-workers along 40°S during the first and second legs of the UK GEOTRACES cruise (GA10) in the Atlantic Ocean. They […]
Helium isotopes help to constrain high-resolution model dynamics in the Mediterranean Sea
The terrigenic helium isotope distribution was simulated for the first time in the whole Mediterranean Sea, using a high-resolution model (NEMO-MED12) at one-twelfth of a degree horizontal resolution (6–8 km). […]
Tracking the sea ice exported from the Siberian Shelf to the Arctic Ocean
An original method based on the use of the couple salinity – δ18O allows determining the fractions of water that had been removed as ice across the shelf and the […]
GEOTRACES publishes the motivations and description of its first Intermediate Data Product
GEOTRACES proposes an article that describes its first integrated and quality controlled Intermediate Data Product 2014 (IDP2014): the digital data package and the eGEOTRACES electronic Atlas that provides section plots and […]
Metal contents of North Atlantic phytoplankton across environmental gradients
Twining and co-workers (2015, see reference below) provide the first direct measurements of metal quotas in phytoplankton from across the North Atlantic Ocean (US GEOTRACES GA03), known to be subjected […]
New insights into global barium cycling from the first barium isotope data for seawater
A new method developed by Horner and co-workers (2015, see reference below) allows for the determination of dissolved barium (Ba) isotopic compositions in seawater using nanogram quantities of Ba. The […]
Large fluxes of dissolved aluminium exported from the coast to the ocean
In the Eastern China Sea (ECS), the continental shelf serves as an important source of dissolved aluminium (DAl) for the overlaying waters via resuspension of sediments and benthic fluxes. This […]
Multiple controls on the dissolved aluminium fate in the Western Atlantic Ocean
Thanks to the most impressive set of dissolved aluminium (Al) and silicon (Si) data ever published in the Atlantic Ocean, Middag and co-workers (2015, see reference below) are thoroughly scanning […]
