– A global compilation of dissolved iron measurements: focus on distributions and processes in the Southern Ocean
 |
A data synthesis effort recently compiled over 13,000 observations of dissolved iron concentrations that more than doubled the previous data compilation...Overall, more observations have been collected in the past 5 years under the auspices of the International Polar Year and GEOTRACES efforts than were collected in the prior ~15 years…

– Substantial intra-basin variation of the dissolved metal/phosphorus ratio in the different water masses of the Indian Ocean
 |
The first simultaneous, full-depth, and basin-scale section-distribution of dissolved (D) aluminum (Al), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd), and lead (Pb) is reported in the Indian Ocean…

– Neodymium isotopic compositions and rare earth element data evidence boundary exchange in the southwestern tropical and equatorial Pacific
 |
New rare earth element (REE) concentrations and neodymium (Nd) isotopic compositions measured between the southwestern Tropical and the central equatorial Pacific (112 samples) support the hypothesis that the main process driving the geochemical supply in this area is boundary exchange…
