Title: The Value of Going To Sea on Big Ships and the Advantage of Multiple Tracers for GEOTRACES Style Programs
Following a brief description of a typical GEOTRACES oceanographic cruise, this article illustrates the benefits of the multidisciplinary and multi-tracer approach that has characterized GEOTRACES. The value and organization of this type of research cruise—which requires many people and large vessels—are discussed in relation to the resulting carbon footprint and the potential alternatives.  more » « less

    This special issue of Oceanography celebrates the transformational findings of the international GEOTRACES program in chemical oceanography, 20 years after drafting of the GEOTRACES Science Plan in 2004 (GEOTRACES Planning Group, 2006). With the section cruise phase of the program ending soon, and a planned pivot toward smaller-​scale process studies, this is an opportune time to look back at the achievements of GEOTRACES during the last two decades and to highlight some of the advances in our understanding of the processes that determine the oceanic distributions of trace elements and isotopes (TEIs).

    This dataset includes measurements of the dissolved isotope radium-226 in the South Pacific and Southern Ocean. Samples were collected on the US GEOTRACES GP17-OCE cruise (Papeete, Tahiti to Punta Arenas, Chile) on R/V Roger Revelle from December 2022 to January 2023. Radium-223, radium-224, and radium-228 data will be made available in the future.

    Water column dissolved radium-226 and radium-228 from Leg 1 (Seattle, WA to Hilo, HI) of the US GEOTRACES Pacific Meridional Transect (PMT) cruise (GP15, RR1814) on R/V Roger Revelle from September to October 2018. In this dataset version (v3), the radium-226 data have been updated from the previous version of the dataset.

    Water column dissolved radium-226 and radium-228 from Leg 2 (Hilo, HI to Papeete, French Polynesia) of the US GEOTRACES Pacific Meridional Transect (PMT) cruise (GP15, RR1815) on R/V Roger Revelle from October to November 2018. In this dataset version (v3), the radium-226 data have been updated from the previous version of the dataset.

    This dataset includes the total dissolved, dissolved labile, and soluble nickel concentration results determined in water column samples collected using a trace-metal clean CTD rosette, or an inflatable dinghy, during four cruises in the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) region in March, May, August, and November 2019. The samples and associated data were collected for the Bermuda Atlantic Iron Time-series (BAIT) project (GEOTRACES Process Study GApr13). Post-cruise sample analyses were performed at the University of South Florida (labile dissolved nickel) and Old Dominion University (dissolved nickel, soluble nickel).
