– Land inputs in the Arctic transported up to the North Pole?
|
M. Charette and his colleagues gathered data on trace elements, radionuclides, dissolved organic matter and many ancillary parameters collected as part of the two Arctic GEOTRACES cruises conducted in 2015…

– Arctic mercury export flux with marine particles highter than anticipated
|
In the ocean, the residence time of mercury is largely driven by two removal mechanisms: evasion to the atmosphere and downward export flux with settling particles. The later was particularly poorly constrained in the Arctic Ocean, as was the mercury burial rate into the sediment…

– The biogeochemical ventures of dissolved iron and manganese across the Arctic Ocean
|
|
|
The spatial distributions and biogeochemical cycling of dissolved iron and dissolved manganese across the Arctic Ocean were established during summer and fall 2015. The Canadian GEOTRACES transect extended from the Canada Basin to the Labrador Sea via the Canadian Arctic Archipelago…

– Loihi Seamount: hydrothermal helium-3 and dissolved iron sources and their dispersion within the Pacific Ocean
|
As part of the GEOTRACES cruise GP15, Jenkins and co-workers observed large water column anomalies in helium isotopes and trace metal concentrations above the Loihi Seamount (~19°N, 154°W) that extends along the GP15 track for hundreds of kilometers…

– Silicon isotopes reveal the different Arctic end members contributing to the deep water formed in the North Atlantic Ocean
|
Combining a multiparametric analysis, biogenic and dissolved silicon (Si) isotope data (30Si-bSiO2 and δ30Si-DSi, respectively) in the Arctic Ocean, Liguori and co-workers could unravel the influence of water masses on the δ30Si-DSi distribution within the Arctic Ocean….

– GEOTRACES Intermediate Data Product 2021:
** Deadline – Submission Process – New Fair Use Agreement **
|
The deadline for guaranteed inclusion of data in the third GEOTRACES Intermediate Data Product (IDP2021), was May 15, 2020. We greatly appreciate those of you who have met this deadline.
The final deadline for dataset submission is December 15, 2020. We will make every effort to include all datasets that are submitted, but registering your dataset as soon as possible will improve the chances that it will be included in IDP2021.
Please read the initial announcement of the GEOTRACES Intermediate Data Product 2021 that includes more details about the dataset registration, submission process and the new IDP2021 Fair Use Agreement.
