1 Biogeochemistry of trace elements and isotopes in the Indian Ocean Sunil Kumar Singh Geosciences Division Physical Research Laboratory Ahmedabad Ministry of Earth Sciences Government of India 2 July 2016
2 One of the major discoveries of last decade was the presence of HNLC (High Nutrient Low Chlorophyll) region in world Ocean. The low productivity was found to be a result of deficiency of key trace elements, e.g.: Fe High Nutrient Low Chlorophyll region of the Arabian Sea HNLC Trace elements serve as micronutrients and regulates marine ecosystem dynamics and carbon cycle They serve as paleo-oceanographic tracers
3 GEO-SCIENCES Trace Elements and Isotopes (TEIs) in the Oceans Marine ecosystem dynamics and carbon cycling are regulated by trace elements as they serve as micronutrients. For example, Iron is a well known micronutrient, deficiency of which severely affects photosynthesis and nitrogen fixation. The biogeochemical cycling of trace elements, therefore has direct implications to marine carbon cycle, which in turn influences ocean ecosystem dynamics and climate change. The distribution of TEs in the oceans and their depositional fluxes hold clues to productivity variations / climate change. Similarly the abundances and isotope composition (e.g., Nd, Pb, U-Th) of water masses are unique and their records in authigenic deposits can serve as paleo-oceanographic tracers.
4 Important biogeochemical processes in the ocean and the trace metals thought to be fundamental to their action.
5 Existing deep ocean Fe data Fe data is scarce, particularly in the deep ocean, limited understanding of the Fe cycle DataLimited for Fe Stations with Fe concentrations at depths > 2000 m in 2003 (taken from GEOTRACES Science Plan 2006)
