Twenty Years of GEOTRACES: An International Study of the Marine Biogeochemical Cycles of Trace Elements and Isotopes
On the Cover: Deployment of the "trace metal clean" rosette at 78°N from USCGC Healy as part of the 2015 US GEOTRACES GN01 cruise to the Arctic Ocean. Water from this cast yielded data for key biogeochemical parameters such as iron, aluminum, radium, metal isotopes, and major nutrients. Photo credit: Katlin Bowman Adamczyk, US Geological Survey
