GEOTRACES • The mission of the GEOTRACES program is to identify and quantify processes that control the distribution of key trace elements and isotopes in the ocean, and their sensitivity to changing environmental conditions.
What are ‘key elements? They include: • Those acting as micronutrients to control ocean productivity and ecosystems (e. g. Fe, Zn, Cd, Cu, Ni, Co, Mn) • Those tracing modern processes in the ocean (e. g. Al, Rare Earth Elements and Nd isotopes, Ra and Th isotopes, 3 He, 15 N, 230 Th & 232 Th, 13 C ) • Contaminants in the present and future ocean (e. g. Pb, Hg) • Chemical species used as proxies to reconstruct ocean conditions in the past (e. g. 231 Pa, 230 Th, Cd, Zn, 15 N, 30 Si, Ba, 13 C)

Summary GEOTRACES is halfway through the task mapping the global ocean distributions of hitherto sparsely determined trace elements, stable isotopes, and radioactive isotopes in the ocean. The data quality is excellent. International cooperation has been essential to good coverage and consistent data. Much of the data to date is publically available. • Electronic Atlas: sections and 3 D rotating scenes: www. egeotraces. org • Data: www. bodc. ac. uk/geotraces/data/idp 2014/
