Dissolved copper enrichment in the Gulf of Mexico is driven by freshwater inputs, sedimentary fluxes, and cross-shelf exchange induced by Loop Current eddies

Dissolved copper enrichment in the Gulf of Mexico is driven by freshwater inputs, sedimentary fluxes, and cross-shelf exchange induced by Loop Current eddies

In the ocean, copper functions as an essential micronutrient for primary producers but becomes toxic if its concentration exceeds their cellular requirements. The distribution of copper is strongly controlled by external inputs and physical dynamics, especially in marginal seas with benthic, fluvial...
