Aluminium
New impetus to the debate on the sources of dissolved aluminium to the ocean
This study challenges the paradigm that dissolved aluminium in the bottom waters of the Arctic basins could result from a top-down process.

Variable dissolution rates and fates of lithogenic tracers at the air-sea interface
Roy-Barman and co-authors established the dissolution rates from Saharan dust reaching Mediterranean seawater.

When lateral advective transport explains between 80 and 100% of the dissolved aluminium distribution
The results evidence that the effect of advection cannot be neglected in areas where a conjunction of significant horizontal dissolved aluminium gradients and significant horizontal currents is found.
About the decoupled fates of aluminium, manganese, cobalt and lead in the North Pacific Ocean
Did you know that each of these tracers could follow its own marine story, quite decoupled from the others? This is what is shown and discussed by Zheng and co-workers […]

Metal contents of North Atlantic phytoplankton across environmental gradients
Twining and co-workers (2015, see reference below) provide the first direct measurements of metal quotas in phytoplankton from across the North Atlantic Ocean (US GEOTRACES GA03), known to be subjected […]

Large fluxes of dissolved aluminium exported from the coast to the ocean
In the Eastern China Sea (ECS), the continental shelf serves as an important source of dissolved aluminium (DAl) for the overlaying waters via resuspension of sediments and benthic fluxes. This […]

Multiple controls on the dissolved aluminium fate in the Western Atlantic Ocean
Thanks to the most impressive set of dissolved aluminium (Al) and silicon (Si) data ever published in the Atlantic Ocean, Middag and co-workers (2015, see reference below) are thoroughly scanning […]

Overview of the dissolved iron, manganese and aluminium distributions along the North Atlantic GEOTRACES GA03 section
Three trace elements distributions (iron, manganese and aluminium) help to constrain the sources of chemical elements in the North Atlantic Ocean. Atmospheric, Mediterranean Sea and margin inputs are confirmed while […]
