Iron Regulation of Ocean Ecosystems

We're studying the role of iron and other trace metals in controlling the biomass, rates and structure of ocean ecosystems.

The Chemical Sensor Lab has worked on four recent field studies related to biogeochemical cycling of iron:

     Southern Ocean Iron Experiment (SOFeX)

     MBARI Surface Ocean Lower Atmosphere Study

     Iron Regulation of Coastal Ecosystems

     MBARI Upwelling Science Experiment (MUSE)
