A geochemical and Sr isotope study was carried out on sediment cores collected from the Logatchev hydrothermal vent site (14°45?N) on the Mid-Atlantic ridge, with the aim of identifying aeolian inputs into the overlying water column. The Logatchev vent site lies beneath the NE trade winds, which tra...
