Biogeochemical cycling of Fe and Mn in the Indian sector of the Soutern Ocean
This thesis focuses on the study of the iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) cycles in the Indian sector of the Southern Ocean, between the the South African coast and the Marion and Prince Edward Islands. This transect covers two zones: the subtropical zone (STZ) and the subantarctic zone (SAZ). Fe and Mn...
