Catherine Jeandel, Marseille 2004: Geochemistry in KEOPS Chlorophyll (mg m -3 ) Among the objectives of KEOPS - Identification of the mechanisms of natural iron fertilization on the Kerguelen Plateau - Processes explaining this fertilization - Flux studies in contrasting environments Contribution of the geochemical tracers ? (LEGOS, LSCE, CEREGE, ANCH, IPGP)

Catherine Jeandel, Marseille 2004: Geochemistry in KEOPS Origin of the iron enrichment ?  Contact with the margin when deep waters circulate around the plateau (release from the shelf sediment, dissolution of particles)  Remineralization of sinking biogenic material after a massive bloom What is the major mechanism of the upward transfer of iron from deep waters to the surface layer?  tidal currents + bottom topography  internal tides transfering deep water to the surface. Questions that will be addressed using the geochemical tracers What kind of tracers ? Coupled with the physics…

Catherine Jeandel, Marseille 2004: Geochemistry in KEOPS Radium isotopes : 226 Ra : 1602 a ; 228 Ra : 5.75 a tracer of water masses : - signature of the water masses that were in contact with the shelf input from the sediments : tracer of iron enrichment - information on the transit time of the water masses since they detached from the shelves 226 Ra is expected to behave conservatively but not 228 Ra … we need to interact with physicists tracer of particles : 226 Ra/ 228 Ra ratio of particles compared with that of seawater : origin of particles that form in the water column (= flux studies)

Catherine Jeandel, Marseille 2004: Geochemistry in KEOPS The isotopes  Kerguelen Archipelago = intraplate islands  Geological material outcropping characterised by a specific elemental composition and isotopic ratios. - Rare Earth Element (REE) patterns: completely OPPOSITE from the seawater REE pattern - ε Nd values range between –2 to +2 (seawater around –8) - same for lead isotopic composition The Elemental Composition  Kerguelen fields = different from that of the marine sediments (eg: richer in Ti, in Fe, poorer in Ba)  Analysis of sediments and interstitial water content will contribute to characterize the iron content and also to identify the source of this material. REE patterns, trace elements, Nd and Pb isotopes: Source tracers

Catherine Jeandel, Marseille 2004: Geochemistry in KEOPS Fe isotopes (F. Lacan’s project)  56 Fe ‰ = [ ( 56 Fe/ 54 Fe ECHANTILLON ) / ( 56 Fe/ 54 Fe REFERENCE ) -1 ] x 10 3 MC/ICPMS: precision today = 0.05‰ with 20 ng of Fe IN VITRO studies (Butler et al and Beard et al, 2003) :  Bacterial reduction could yield an isotope deviation of -1.3‰  FeS precipitation : -0.3 ‰  This allows us to assume that the dissolved iron released by the margins have distinct iron signatures compared with the continental one.  Hypothesis verified by recent works shown in Portland (OS 2004) on the Californian margin (Severmann et al, 2004). Hypothesis: FeOx reduction on the continental margins could yield an isotopic fractionation KEOPS: To determine Fe signatures in the water and particles before and after the contact + in the sediment cores :  Sediment and interstitial waters: Fe fractionation factor  Iron fluxes between the water masses and the sediments  To follow the evolution of this signature when leaving the margin
