Alaskan Glacial Dust Is an Important Iron Source to Surface Waters of the Gulf of Alaska
Abstract This work evaluates glacial dust as a source of sediment, and associated iron (Fe), to the Fe‐limited Gulf of Alaska (GoA). A reanalysis of GoA sediment data, using rare earth elements and thorium as provenance tracers, suggests a flux to the ocean surface of Copper River (AK) glacial dust,...
