Marine Biogeochemistry Podcast

by Lennart T. Bach

Marine biogeochemistry studies how elements like carbon and phosphorus move through the ocean. In this podcast, we explore the processes that drive this cycling. I’m Lennart Bach from the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies at the University of Tasmania, and I invite marine biogeochemists to discuss different elements and the roles they play, from well-known to less studied. Each episode focuses on one element and a specific topic, aimed at researchers and students.

Carbon II - Understanding alkalinity - Andrew Dickson

Understanding alkalinity is one of the "eight-thousanders" in marine biogeochemistry. Luckily, we have Prof. Andrew Dickson, who has mapped this dangerous territory like

Phosphorus I - Phosphorus cycling in sediments - Caroline Slomp

The number of scientists studying marine phosphorus cycling may align to the Redfield ratio. For every 106 scientists studying carbon, there is one studying phosphorus. T

Carbon I - air-sea CO2 exchange - David Ho

When CO2 enters the ocean it has to cross the air-sea interface. This is surprisingly slow! And, thankfully reasonably well understood due to scientists like Prof. David
