GEOTRACES Webinar Series - 05.12.2015

 Webinar cover image
 
Seawater's composition reflects our planet’s history, along with traces of human impacts. The chemistry of trace elements - found in such small concentrations that they can be difficult to detect - can be studied to uncover the past, present and future of the ocean and life within it.

Using rigorous methods to ensure measurements are both accurate and consistently collected, the GEOTRACES program has mapped the large-scale distribution of trace elements (such as iron, lead, zinc, and cobalt) across the world’s oceans.

Funded by the National Science Foundation's Chemical Oceanography Program, this four-part webinar series focused on several trace elements and what they can tell us about biogeochemical processes, the carbon cycle, and climate. Nine scientists, each studying a unique facet of the ocean’s chemistry, share their work and the importance of researching these rare and vital “clues” from the ocean.
