Sieber and his colleagues established the distribution of dissolved cadmium concentrations and isotopes in a section extending from Alaska to Tahiti.
Cadmium Isotopes
Cadmium isotopes, tracers of the cadmium sequestration as cadmium sulphide in oxygen minimum zone?
The linear relationship between the seawater cadmium and phosphate dissolved concentrations lead to use the cadmium/calcium (Cd/Ca) imprinted in calcareous archives to reconstruct the past phosphate (PO4) distributions. However, variations […]
Contrasting fates of the cadmium-cadmium isotopes in the Kuroshio and Oyashio environmental systems
Yang et al. (2018, see reference below) studied the relative importance of physical and biogeochemical processes on controlling the isotopic composition of dissolved and particulate cadmium (Cd) in a GP18 […]
Surprising cadmium isotope results north of the Subantarctic Front in the South West Atlantic Ocean
Xie and co-workers (2017, see reference below) report cadmium (Cd) isotopic compositions from five stations and 15 tow-Fish surface waters from 50ºS to the equator along GEOTRACES GA02 Leg 3. […]
Sinking organic matter: a major driver of the oceanic zinc cycle?
Zinc (Zn) is a marine micronutrient, important for phytoplankton and involved in biogeochemical cycling throughout the oceans. Despite the importance of this element, the processes that control the oceanic Zn […]
