  1. Mesoscale Iron Enrichment Experiments 1993-2005: Synthesis and Future Directions P. W. Boyd, T. Jickells, C. S. Law, S. Blain, E. A. Boyle, K. O. Buesseler, K. H. Coale, J. J. Cullen, H. J. W. de Baar, M. Follows, M. Harvey, C. Lancelot, M. Levasseur, N. P. J. Owens, R. Pollard, R. B. Rivkin, J. Sarmiento, V. Schoemann, V. Smetacek, S. Takeda, A. Tsuda, S. Turner, A. J. Watson

  2. History Several Important Papers, 1990-91: Glacial-Interglacial CO2 Change: the Iron Hypothesis The Case For Iron Hypothesis: “phytoplankton growth in major nutrient-rich waters is limited by iron deficiency” Testing: Early small scale testing & shipboard work uncertain Mesoscale experiments suggested

  3. Mesoscale Iron Addition Experiments Questions? Will Fe increase Primary Production in HNLC areas? Subsequent affect on Nutrient use? On export? 12 FeAX’s HNLC locations (See Figure 1) Common experimental framework for comparison
