Research included Glider-based adaptive sampling of modified circumpolar deep water thought to be a source of iron to the summer Ross Sea ecosystem. Research vessel was R/V Nathaniel B. Palmer.
Image of The Day caption:
Biogeochemist Phoebe Lam took advantage of clear conditions to climb Observation Hill, adjacent to McMurdo Station in Antarctica. Lam and her team are working with three other institutions to determine the causes of large summertime algal blooms in the Ross Sea. Because iron increases photosynthetic efficiency and photosynthetic rates, she and her colleagues are investigating the relative importance of warm salty intrusions of deep water versus tidal resuspension of sediments as sources of iron to surface waters of the Ross Sea.
