IN2017_T01    - is a Marine National Facility voyage

Title: Natural iron fertilisation of oceans around Australia: linking terrestrial dust and bushfires to marine biogeochemistry

Voyage details on MNF site: https://mnf.csiro.au/en/Voyages/IN2017_T01

Period: 2017-09-24 10:00 to 2017-10-08 05:00 UTC

Duration: 13.79 days

From: Sydney To: Broome

Region: Queensland, Northern Territory and Kimberley waters

Ship: Investigator (RV) [details]

Description: The application will support research to quantify the importance of iron-rich aerosols from Australia for marine biogeochemistry and ocean ecosystem health. The project will sample and conduct experiments on atmospheric particles containing terrestrial dust and bushfire smoke that are transported from Australia to its surrounding oceans. The application supports the training and research of two postgraduate students from IMAS-UTAS. The outcomes will provide a scientific basis for managing the complex role of iron in sustaining marine ecosystem biodiversity and for informing government policy on ocean fertilisation as a carbon mitigation strategy.

Leader: Andrew Bowie (UTAS)
