This section presents the GEOTRACES scientific activities.
GEOTRACES will allow the collection of numerous data that will be archived in the GEOTRACES Data Assembly Centre (GDAC), and will eventually contribute to create a world atlas of tracers […]
It is now possible to measure precisely manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd), and lead (Pb) concentrations in seawater using only 40 […]
Scientists participating in GEOTRACES have developed a new strategy to evaluate trace element fluxes to the ocean from aerosols (Hsieh et al, 2011). The new approach uses the common geochemical behaviour […]
For the first time detailed mercury (Hg) speciation was determined along an Australia-Antarctic section (Cossa, et al., 2011) and cadmium (Cd) isotopes along a South Africa-Antarctic section (Abouchami W., et […]

Many coastal nations currently lack the technical and scientific capability to measure trace elements and isotopes at natural levels in seawater, whereas others have the capability to measure only a […]

The International Polar Year (IPY) 2007-2008 provided an excellent opportunity for a flying start of the GEOTRACES program. Major IPY GEOTRACES campaigns in the Arctic region (Figure 1) were the multiyear program […]
