Introductory Overviews:
- Physics – Physical principles to bear in mind when trying to determine rates and magnitudes of biological uptake, remineralization and scavenging from ocean sections, process studies and models: Role of vertical mixing, upwelling, entrainment, ventilation pathways, water masses history.
Bill Jenkins – Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
- Biogeochemistry – Topics relevant to the biogeochemical cycling of trace elements, but which fall outside the immediate purview of GEOTRACES, including bioavailability, the function of trace elements within organisms, and the processes and properties of cells that lead to biological uptake.
Maite Maldonado – Earth, Ocean & Atmospheric Sciences, University of British Columbia
- Modelling –Representation of uptake, growth limitation, recycling, remineralization and scavenging in state of the art biogeochemistry models. What are their assumptions? Where are they seeking to make progress and in need of observational constraints? How does this affect our use of these models to extrapolate, project and test hypotheses?
