Data Catalog

This data was collected as part of an expedition to the Pacific Ocean to map and study the distribution of trace elements and isotopes as part of the International GEOTRACES Program (a program which aims to improve the understanding of biogeochemical cycles and large-scale distribution of trace elements and their isotopes in the marine environment). 135 seawater samples were collected and analyzed from 6 super stations from east to west along a transect from Peru to Tahiti.

This data was collected as part of an expedition to the Pacific Ocean and Atlantic Oceans to map and study the distribution of trace elements and isotopes as part of the International GEOTRACES Program (a program which aims to improve the understanding of biogeochemical cycles and large-scale distribution of trace elements and their isotopes in the marine environment). hundreds of samples were collected, processed, and analyzed along the two transects: EPZT in the Eastern Pacific between Peru and Tahiti, and GEOVIDE in the North Atlantic and Arctic between Portugal and Newfoundland, Canada. Along both transects, samples were collected at specific stations and the activity of the radionuclides was measured on both particle (small and large) and in the water column.
