Remarks: joint project with SCOR
Completion Date: 2001 - project completed
Objective:
The goal of this project is to review critically the current state
of knowledge of the biogeochemistry of iron in seawater. It will
cover chemical speciation, analytical techniques, transformation
between different forms of iron, fluxes and distribution of iron,
bioavailability of iron and also the evidence for iron limitation
of primary production in High Nutrient Low Chlorophyll (HNLC) areas
of the ocean. It also undertakes identification of priorities for
future research in the areas mentioned. The programme requires forging
links between scientists working on iron chemistry in seawater (mainly
SCOR-affiliated) and in other aquatic environments (mainly IUPAC-affiliated)
