summary:
The cycling of key trace elements in the ocean is critical to the functioning of ocean ecosystems, to the carbon cycle, to contamination of the ocean, and to assessment of past climate change. This COST Action seeks to maximize the benefit from research on the marine chemistry of trace elements conducted in a large number of COST countries.
This COST Action directly supports the International GEOTRACES Programme, but extends beyond that programme to cover all marine trace-metal research in the COST region.
