Comment(s)
Carbon, nitrogen and metals biogeochemistry and its different forms
(organic, inorganic, dissolved and particulate) including its distribution, behavior,
origin and the role of biological factors that may be involved in C, N and TE
cycles, I enjoy working as a member of a team. Nowadays, I have great eager to search in boundary layer conditions
and the supply mechanisms of iron from shelf waters and the Oxygen Minimum
Zones (OMZ) to surface waters and the open ocean, and specifically the impact
of (i) Fe fluxes from the bottom boundary layer to overlying waters, (ii) Fe
stabilization by organic ligands and colloids, (iii) rates of Fe scavenging.
