Copper and zinc oceanic mass balance revisited
Little and co-workers (2014; see reference below) propose an update of the oceanic copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) mass balance, with the original approach that takes into account the hitherto […]

Latest discoveries about zinc concentrations and isotopes in the ocean
Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient for phytoplankton and plays a key role in the productivity of the oceans. Despite the importance of this element, the processes which govern its […]
GEOTRACES: Changing the way we explore ocean chemistry
Read about the experiences and lessons learned in the planning and implementation of GEOTRACES international programme in a recent paper published in Oceanography. Anderson and co-authors present an extraordinary synthesis of […]
Trace metals in deep ocean waters: A review
A synthesis on the data available on the distribution of selected trace metals (i.e. Cadmium, Cobalt, Copper, Molybdenum, Nickel, Lead and Zinc) in the deep ocean from 1979 to 2009 […]
A global compilation of the neodymium isotopic composition of seawater for GEOTRACES
GEOTRACES will allow the collection of numerous data that will be archived in the GEOTRACES Data Assembly Centre (GDAC), and will eventually contribute to create a world atlas of tracers […]
