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.
