The Carbon Cycle and Bioactive Trace Metals in the Oceans

Résumé du livre

Zinc (Zn) is a transition metal whose stable isotopes can record information on important oceanographic processes. This dissertation has established an analytical approach for the separation and isotopic analysis of Zn in seawater, and applied it to various seawater samples to trace biogeochemical processes in the oceans. The main analytical challenges in the isotopic analysis of Zn in seawater relate to very low concentrations (
