Upwelled hydrothermal iron stimulates massive phytoplankton blooms in the Southern Ocean
Joint Science Highlight with US-Ocean Carbon & Biogeochemistry (US-OCB). In a recent study, Ardyna et al (2019, see reference below) combined observations of profiling floats with historical trace element data and […]
The causes of the 90-ppm glacial atmospheric CO2 drawdown still strongly debated
Joint Science Highlight with US-Ocean Carbon & Biogeochemistry (US-OCB). Using an observationally constrained earth system model, S. Khatiwala and co-workers (2019, see reference below) compare different processes that could lead […]
