| Description | Through this work we have recently published a paper in nature Geoscience about solving the Zinc Silicate paradox. This work highlights the role of the southern ocean in controlling the biogeochemical cycling of zinc |
| Exploitation Route | Future studies on other trace elements and the role the southern ocean plays in the stoichiometry further down stream. |

| Title | GEOTRACES IDP |
| Description | Data from my research awards contributed to the release of the GEOTRACES Intermediate data product |
| Type Of Material | Database/Collection of data |
| Year Produced | 2014 |
| Provided To Others? | Yes |
| Impact | This database is now used to generate new grants- for example I have written 2 successful NERC grants with this database. It is also used a a valuable teaching tool |

| Title | GEOTRACES IDP2017 |
| Description | This data is the second intermediate data product from GEOTRACES. Work from this project contributed data to this product. We have contributed data to 2 large ocean sections both dissolved and particulate trace elements |
| Type Of Material | Database/Collection of data |
| Year Produced | 2017 |
| Provided To Others? | Yes |
| Impact | This database has led to many new synthesis and modelling papers. |
