Trace metals in the North Pacific

Trace metals in the North Pacific

"I am really excited about these articles from our North Pacific GEOTRACES work, which was the first NSF funding I received after arriving at CMS. Our studies target the cycling of trace metals in the region of oldest ocean waters, and answer questions I have been puzzling over for years - some of which have been around since before I was born! We knock down the idea that oxygen minimum zones are places where metals precipitate, and we show that particle-scavenging is needed to complete our understanding of the global zinc cycle." 鈥揟im Conway, Associate Professor.
