Research
I am part of the GEOTRACES GP17 cruise covering a large portion of the S. Pacific. Using cross-flow filtration, I hope to further parse the dissolved portion of iron into soluble and colloidal fractions, particularly as it pertains to hydrothermal vents. Elucidating the size fractions of iron can help us determine where it is moving and it's bioavailability for phytoplankton at the surface.
