lion (Fe) was measured in present-day and ancient East Antarctic snow to investigate the atmospheric flux of Fe into the Southern Ocean, the solubility of this atmospheric iron, and the level of new phytoplankton production it could support in Southern Ocean waters, given that iron is an essential m...
