– Successful release of the GEOTRACES Intermediate Data Product at Ocean Science Meeting 2014
   |
The first GEOTRACES data product was launched on February 25 at Ocean Science Meeting 2014 (Honolulu, Hawaii) with the presence of more than 350 persons.
The Intermediate Data Product (IDP2014), containing hydrographic and marine geochemical data acquired during the first 3 years of the programme, consists on two parts: the digital data and the eGEOTRACES Electronic Atlas which provides 2D or 3D scenes (maps) of the distribution in the ocean of many parameters (for example, the distribution of lead in the Atlantic Ocean as shown in the first figure on the left). Both the digital data and the eGEOTRACES Atlas are now freely available on-line.
The Town Hall meeting was more than a succes with an special ovation from the public when the first eGEOTRACES 3D scene was displayed. The product has also been object of an important media coverage, including Nature and Science journals.

– 3D Maps Reveal a Lead-Laced Ocean…. in Science
|
The GEOTRACES programme is collecting a large amount of trace element data compared to what was available before. For the first time, scientists can trace the pathway that lead has followed since its atmospheric deposition on the surface of the North Atlantic Ocean in the 20th century to its present location, at around 1000 meters depth…
