Particulate Trace Metal Fluxes in the Western Arabian Sea and Their Links to Marine Productivity

Creator:

Flannery, Kelly M.

Abstract:

Many trace elements (e.g., Zn, Cd, Mo) are essential phytoplankton micronutrients, making them crucial to the marine ecosystem and ultimately the carbon cycle. Because of this association trace metals are also utilized in paleoceanographic studies (e.g., Mo, Cd). However, not much is known about what controls the cycling of these...
