The influence of marine phytoplankton on iodine speciation in the Tropical and Southern Atlantic Ocean
The role of halogene species like iodine in the ocean and how their speciation is affected by marine organisms is not well known. This lack of knowledge demands for more detailed field as well as experimental studies in order to unravel the role of iodine in marine ecosystems. My thesis comprises fi...

The role of halogene species like iodine in the ocean and how their speciation is affected by marine organisms is not well known. This lack of knowledge demands for more detailed field as well as experimental studies in order to unravel the role of iodine in marine ecosystems. My thesis comprises field work on the iodine speciation in polar and tropical marine environments complemented by a set of laboratory experiments on the role of phytoplankton species from the two regions studied for the iodine biogeochemical cycle. A large scale survey across the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean and three cruises to the Mauritanian upwelling region during both strong and weak upwelling seasons provide valuable information on iodine speciation over large spatial scales in case of the former survey, and on seasonal variability in case of the latter cruises.
