About this episode
We unpack how trace metals in the oceans are governed by complex formation and oxygen availability, influencing what phytoplankton and microbes can actually use. From conservative metals that linger in solution to nutrient-type metals that cycle with biology and scavenged metals that hitch a ride on particles, we explore speciation, residence times, and what makes the ocean a dynamic chemical reactor.
