Science Highlights
Trace metal effluxes from Peruvian shelf sediments
Liu and co-authors compared four methods to estimate dissolved iron fluxes from Peruvian shelf sediments, revealing large variability.
Science Highlights
East-West contrasting fate and anthropogenic inputs for dissolved trace metals in the Subarctic Pacific Ocean
Chan and co-authors report the full-depth distribution of dissolved nickel, copper, zinc, and cadmium in the North Pacific Ocean.
Science Highlights
North-South section of bioactive cadmium, nickel, zinc, copper and iron along GEOTRACES transect GP19 in the Pacific Ocean
Zheng and his colleagues propose the first full sections of the simultaneous dissolved distributions of five nutrient-type trace metals in the western South Pacific Ocean.
Science Highlights
What are the drivers of the distributions of cadmium, nickel, zinc, copper and cobalt, manganese and aluminium in the Atlantic Ocean? Two papers are tackling this issue
Chen and co-authors reveal that the distributions of dissolved tracers at depth in the South Atlantic are predominantly controlled by the mixing of North Atlantic Deep Water and waters of Antarctic origin…
Science Highlights
Shelf sediments in the Benguela Upwelling System as a major source of trace metals to the shelf and eastern South Atlantic Ocean
Liu and her colleagues investigated dissolved trace metals distributions within the Benguela Upwelling System sampled from GEOTRACES GA08 cruise.
Science Highlights
Debate on the dissolved nickel bioavailibility in surface waters
John and co-authors tackle one of the known paradoxes regarding trace metal cycles in the ocean…
