ABR: Studies of Sources, Fluxes and Cycling of Cd, T1, Bi and Pb in North Atlantic Waters

这项研究计划通过分析雨水和空气中的金属来确定Cd、T1和Pb进入北大西洋的风沙输入通量。这些不同元素的通量和来源将通过测量的时间间隔在平板上的沉积和对其同位素的分析来确定。这项研究得出的输入和沉积通量应为改进的海洋中这些金属现在和过去的循环模式的制定提供基础。

This research is planned to determine eolian input fluxes of Cd, T1, and Pb into the North Atlantic by analysing the metals in rain and air. Fluxes and sources of these dissimilar elements will be determined from deposition on plates over measured time intervals and analysis of their isotopes. Input and sedimentation fluxes derived from this study should provide a basis for the development of improved models for present and past cycling of these metals in the oceans.
