Science Highlights
Long distance dissolved iron transport in the North-East Pacific revealed by multiple tracers and an ocean circulation model
Sieber and co-authors have made extensive use of the multi-tracer approach, coupled to an oceanic circulation model…
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
Aluminium, manganese, iron, cobalt, and lead display contrasting fate along north–south and east–west sections in the North Pacific Ocean
Chan et co-authors provide a comprehensive view of trace metal distribution in the subarctic Pacific Ocean.
Science Highlights
Extremely high radioactive levels in the manganese nodules
Volz and co-authors demonstrate that radioisotopes in the manganese nodules mostly exceed exempt activity levels…
Science Highlights
A detailed study of the land-ocean input of dissolved iron, manganese and cobalt in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean
Chen and co-authors propose a detailed study of the spatial and seasonal distributions of dissolved iron, manganese and cobalt in the Northeast Atlantic continental margin.
Science Highlights
Dissolved manganese distribution in the Arabian Sea reveals many variable triggers
Analysis of dissolved manganese on samples collected on GEOTRACES cruises allowed Singh and colleagues to establish its basin-wide distribution in the Arabian Sea.
