Tracing and constraining anthropogenic aerosol iron fluxes to the North Atlantic Ocean using iron isotopes

The relative importance of crustal vs. anthropogenic dust deposition for iron cycling in the surface ocean is unclear. Based on analysis of iron isotope data from North Atlantic aerosol samples, the authors can reveal the relative importance of anthropogenic iron emissions and its impact on marine b...
