Project: Dissolved Pb and Pb Isotopes in the Indian Ocean, GEOTRACES Japan (GI04)

This study presents the Pb and Pb isotopic composition (206Pb/207Pb, 208Pb/207Pb) of 11 deep stations from the Indian Ocean Japanese GEOTRACES cruise (KH-09-5), from the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea to the Southern Ocean (62°S).

This research was supported by a number of funding awards to the Boyle lab. Due to the ship's breakdown during the 2010 GEOTRACES North Atlantic Transect cruise on R/V Knorr, remaining funds combined with support from the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation and the Singapore National Research Foundation supported the analysis of samples collected on the 2009-10 GEOTRACES Japan cruise KH-09-5 aboard the R/V Hakuho Maru. Sample collection was supported by grants from the Steel Foundation for Environmental Protection Technology and from Grant-in-Aid of Scientific Research, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology of Japan.
