Extensive trace metal clean sampling during the Dutch GEOTRACES cruise in the Mediterranean Sea allowed Middag and his colleagues to establish the basin scale distribution of these trace metals.
Lithogenic
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.
Deep sea lithogenic weathering a source of iron colloids for the ocean
Homoky and co-workers determined the isotope composition of dissolved iron profiles in shallow surface sediments of the South Atlantic Uruguayan margin…
Rare Earth Elements and neodymium isotopes as tracers in the Mediterranean Sea
Garcia-Solsona and co-workers analysed 9 seawater stations around the central Mediterranean Sea
Oceanic Margins as sources of lithogenic particulate and dissolved iron in the North Pacific Ocean
Three GEOTRACES Japanese cruises on board the R/V Hakuho Maru allowed establishing basin-scale and full-depth sectional distributions of total dissolvable iron (tdFe), dissolved iron (dFe), and labile particulate iron (lpFe=tdFe […]
Contrasting lithogenic inputs from North Atlantic to North Pacific Oceans traced by thorium isotopes
Dissolved thorium (Th) isotopes and iron (Fe) are used to document the transfer of lithogenic material to the ocean. Two contrasting areas are compared: the Atlantic Ocean around Barbados Islands, […]
Lithogenic influence from the Hawaiian Islands detectable up to Station ALOHA surface waters
By coupling neodymium (Nd) and radium (Ra) isotopes and Rare Earth Element (REE) signals, Henning Fröllje and co-workers (2016, see reference below) show that the coastal Hawaiian waters are affected […]
