International Polar Year An international study of biogeochemical cycles of Trace Elements and Isotopes in the Arctic and Southern Oceans
Metals Abundance & Biological Evolution Biological Evolution used abundant metals: essential Low abundant metals no bio-functions: toxic Pb 315 Hg 0.34 Cd ? 1.61 Ag 0.49 Zn 1260 Cu 522 Ni Co 2250 Fe Mn 9550 numbers of atoms versus 1 million Si atoms De Baar & La Roche (2003)

GEOTRACES traction winch (Kley France) with 8000m kevlar cable (17 mm) with internal signal cables
Advantages Titan system 3-4 fold more efficient station time than single GO-FLO on hydrowire no carrying GO-FLO samplers much faster turnaround sub-sampling system on shipboard always in clean room stations CTD data for physics now building new prototype samplers –18 Liter volume, –pharmaceutical industry quality plastics
