Abstract

High precision measurements of Nitrogen (15N/14N) and Oxygen (18O/16O) isotope ratios in depth profiles along the GEOTRACES transect to the western Arctic Ocean (HLY1502-GN01) were made in order to trace nitrogen cycling in different parts of the basin and within different water masses. Nitrate isotope ratio analyses were performed by Richard Dabundo in the Granger Laboratory at the University of Connecticut.
