The trace metals zinc (Zn) and cadmium (Cd) are both involved in the metabolic processes of marine phytoplankton, and as such, both metals play important roles in ocean biogeochemical cycles. In Antarctica, the Amundsen Sea (AS) experiences rapid ice shelf melting, and the Amundsen Sea polynya (ASP)...
