Journal ArticleDOI

C. Mark Moore,C. Mark Moore,Matthew M. Mills,Eric P. Achterberg,Richard J. Geider,Julie LaRoche,Mike Lucas,Elaine L. McDonagh,Xi Pan,Alex J. Poulton,Micha J. A. Rijkenberg,David J. Suggett,Simon J. Ussher,E. Malcolm S. Woodward +13 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined rates of nitrogen fixation and nutrient concentrations in the surface waters of the Atlantic Ocean along a north-south 10,000 km transect during October and November 2005.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Data from the CROZEX experiment in the Southern Ocean is reported to test the hypothesis that the observed north–south gradient in phytoplankton concentrations in the vicinity of the Crozet Islands is induced by natural iron fertilization that results in enhanced organic carbon flux to the deep ocean.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ocean fertilization: a potential means of geoengineering?
Richard S. Lampitt,Eric P. Achterberg,Thomas R. Anderson,J. A. Hughes,M. D. Iglesias-Rodriguez,B.A. Kelly-Gerreyn,Mike Lucas,Ekaterina Popova,Richard Sanders,John Shepherd,Denise Smythe-Wright,Andrew Yool +11 more
TL;DR: The conclusion is that these methods have the potential to enhance sequestration but that the current level of knowledge from the observations and modelling carried out to date does not provide a sound foundation on which to make clear predictions or recommendations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural iron fertilization by the Eyjafjallajökull volcanic eruption
Eric P. Achterberg,C. Mark Moore,Stephanie A. Henson,Sebastian Steigenberger,Andreas Stohl,Sabine Eckhardt,Lizeth C. Avendano,Michael Cassidy,Debbie Hembury,J. K. Klar,Mike Lucas,Anna I. Macey,Chris M. Marsay,Thomas J. Ryan-Keogh +13 more
TL;DR: Aerosol deposition from the 2010 eruption of the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajokull resulted in significant dissolved iron (DFe) inputs to the Iceland Basin of the North Atlantic as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Crozet natural iron bloom and export experiment (CROZEX)
TL;DR: Papers in this volume confirm that iron from Crozet fertilised the bloom and that phytoplankton production rates and most export flux estimates were much larger in the bloom area than in the HNLC control area.
