GEOTRACES at Goldschmidt 2026!

There will be two exciting GEOTRACES sessions at Goldschmidt 2026!

BIO-Carbon Early Career Ocean Professionals Network: Survey

Exploring how ocean carbon–related samples and datasets are collected, managed, and shared across the research community.

Upcoming deadline! GEOTRACES Session and Workshop at XMAS2027, 12-15 January 2027, Xiamen, China

Abstracts can be submitted until 30 June 2026.

Deadline approaching! 2026 Call for Applications for the GEOTRACES Early Career Scientist Committee

Apply by 3 July 2026!

Don’t miss it! GEOTRACES Online Seminar #3 – 30 June 15:00 CEST

Topic: Atmospheric aerosol deposition to the global ocean

Science Highlights

Continuous record of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current latitude over the last glacial-interglacial cycles

The meridional positions of the oceanic fronts separating subtropical and Antarctic waters are key to constraining the mechanisms that drive the degassing of deeply-stored CO2 at the end of the glacial periods…

Arctic outflows to Davis Strait and the Labrador Sea traced by radionuclide distributions

This study demonstrates that Arctic outflows through the Canadian Arctic Archipelago play a much more significant role than previously recognised.

Zinc and lead isotopes reveal human footprint on the most remote oceanic regions

Benaltabet and co-workers analysed suspended particles collected on GEOTRACES GP21 cruise tracked from Chile to New Caledonia.
