GEOTRACES

GEOTRACES is an international scientific program dedicated to studying the distribution and behavior of trace elements and isotopes in the Earth's oceans. These tiny but influential substances help scientists understand ocean chemistry, biological processes, and how the oceans absorb carbon dioxide. Through coordinated research, sampling, and analysis, GEOTRACES improves our knowledge of how oceans influence climate, support marine ecosystems, and affect the Earth's overall environment. It plays a crucial role in advancing marine science and addressing global challenges related to climate change and ocean health.
