Collaborative Research: Constraining benthic iron fluxes in the Labrador Sea — NSF Award to Florida State University (FL, $552,775
Biological production in ocean surface waters is an important part of the global carbon cycle. In some areas, particularly high latitudes, the availability of iron – an important but scarce nutrient element – can limit the amount of production. It is important to understand sources of iron to the ocean in these regions

| Abstract | Biological production in ocean surface waters is an important part of the global carbon cycle. In some areas, particularly high latitudes, the availability of iron – an important but scarce nutrient element – can limit the amount of production. It is important to understand sources of iron to the ocean in these regions. This project will focus on the role that ocean sediments play in supplying iron to the surface waters of the Labrador Sea, between Canada and Greenland. The team will collect sed |
