| Objectives and Narrative |
Scientific Objectives
The main hypothesis of this project is that iron and other micronutrients are critical drivers of primary production in the Tasman Sea. In turn, the scale of primary production is instrumental in determining the biological uptake of CO2 and fixation of carbon in surface waters. Specific objectives with name of PIs involved in brackets: 1.Conduct zonal and meridional transects traversing the Tasman Sea to gain an understanding of the transport mechanisms influencing dust supply and its importance: a) as a source of iron and b) to link iron supply to nitrogen cycling in northern and southern waters (Bowie, Butler, Law, Ellwood); 2.Test iron-dependent bioreporter(s) as tools to measure iron bioavailability in the Tasman Sea (Hassler); 3.Characterise the iron biogeochemical cycling, chemical speciation, sources and potential control on primary productivity in the Tasman Sea (Law, Ellwood, Hassler, Doblin, Bowie); 4.Evaluate macronutrient limitation (e.g., nitrogen) of primary production and strategies to circumvent it (e.g., nitrogen fixation) (Law, Ellwood); 5.Investigate the role of other micronutrients in primary production and species composition. For example, the effect molybdenum and copper availability has on nitrogen-fixation by investigating the distribution of molybdenum and copper isotopes in the natural plankton community north and south of the Tasman Front (Butler, Ellwood, Bowie, Hassler, Doblin); 6.Undertake plankton incubation experiments to look at the influence of pCO2 or sources (e.g. Dust and organic matter) on nutrient uptake (Law, Ellwood, Hassler). Voyage Narrative Except when we left Garden Island (Sydney) on the 23rd of January, the weather was exceptionally calm for the Tasman Sea. This allowed us to successfully deploy light equipment (trace-metal-clean rosette from the ANU and McLa |
