This project investigates the cycling of silicon in the Southern Ocean, focusing on its role in the carbon cycle and nutrient dynamics. By studying modern and historical data, it aims to enhance understanding of how silicon transport affects marine ecosystems and climate over glacial and interglacial periods.
The Southern Ocean (SO) is the main connection between the sunlit surface and the nutrient- and carbon-rich deep ocean.
Deep waters are brought to the surface here, resulting in outgassing of carbon dioxide (CO2) and providing nutrients to the global surface ocean.
The SO thus has great importance for the carbon cycle and marine cycles of nutrients, most markedly that of silicon (Si).
Si is vitally required by diatoms, siliceous phytoplankton that are important in exporting carbon from the surfa…
