Antarctic glaciers export carbon-stabilised iron(II)-rich particles to the surface Southern Ocean

Abstract Iron is an essential micronutrient for phytoplankton and plays an integral role in the marine carbon cycle. The supply and bioavailability of iron are therefore important modulators of climate over glacial-interglacial cycles. Inputs of iron from the Antarctic continental shelf alleviate ir...
