GEOTRACES is an international study of the global marine biogeochemical cycles of trace elements and their isotopes. Its mission is:

Dust influences climate by altering the radiation budget of the atmosphere, and influences marine biogeochemistry by providing a source of essential micronutrients such as iron.

A US-led program to use process studies to improve quantification of air-sea CO2 fluxes and the gas transfer velocity was initiated in 1998.  So far, two large-scale studies have been conducte
