AresurfaceFeconcentrationscorrelatedwithmodern(model)dustflux?TestbycomparingGP17withothersections(pink).DustmodelofAlbani,Mahowaldetal.,2014

MotivationfortheGP17Section1) Ultra-oligotrophic South Pacific Gyre

Low dust, productivity, particles – impact on scavenging? Record deep DCM – impact on colloid cycling?

2) Southern Ocean regulation of global biological pump efficiency Upwelling hot spots – source of Fe? Dust vs. upwelling sources of micronutrients SE Pacific low biomass – control by Fe, MLD, other?

3) Dispersal of continental sources of micronutrients Basal melt Subglacial meltwater runoff Extent of signal

4) Outflow of Fe carried by Pacific Deep Water Large Fe sources from margins and ridges How much reaches Southern Ocean? Stabilization of Fe (and other TEIs) by ligands

Fe and N have similar distributions in the north, dissimilar in the south. Causes & consequences for ecosystems? Complements of Chris Measures & Mariko Hatta

to the broader Southern Ocean? • Provenance and rate tracers are needed.
