Trace metal distributions in the Southern Ocean: influence of hydrographic and biologic processes
This thesis describes a study on the distribution of the trace metals Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn and Cd and the major nutrients phosphate, nitrate and dissolved silica (Si) in the Southern Ocean. The influence of hydrographic and biological processes, atmospheric dust- and shelf-input and sea ice melting on...
