| Abstract | All chemical elements are present dissolved in the ocean. Differences in their concentrations and in the relative amounts of their isotopes at various locations and depths are used to understand the workings of the ocean and the geochemical cycles of the planet as a whole. In this project, investigators from three institutions will conduct the first study of the marine chemistry of zirconium isotopes. Pilot data from the team have indicated differences in isotopic composition between seawater an |
