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 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. |
