Project aim
Iron may exert a major control on the growth of phytoplankton in Antarctic waters, yet we have scant knowledge of the distribution or nutritional sufficiency of iron in this ocean region. This project aims to measure iron in Antarctic waters, and conduct experiments to determine its importance for phytoplankton growth during the spring bloom period.

Trace elements often limit phytoplankton growth in the ocean, and the quantification of particulate forms is essential to fully understand their biogeochemical cycling. There is presently a lack of reliable measurements on the trace elemental content of marine particles…
