Trace metals Ross Sea Phantastic 01
The dissolved trace metals Zn, Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Ti, La, Y and Pb were analysed via ICPMS in samples from the Ross Sea obtained during a cruise between 20 December 2013 and 5 January 2014. The dissolved concentrations of Zn, Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni and Ti were significantly lower in the Antarct...

The dissolved trace metals Zn, Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Ti, La, Y and Pb were analysed via ICPMS in samples from the Ross Sea obtained during a cruise between 20 December 2013 and 5 January 2014.
