PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The long-term enhancement of carbon storage in the oceans by iron fertilization of marine productivity depends on the export, remineralization and return of the macro-nutrients, micronutrients and carbon fixed by biology at the surface. Yet little is known about the fate of the elements in the water column at depths between 100 and 1000 m.
