Combining seawater Th-232 and Th-230 concentrations to determine dust fluxes to the surface ocean

Aeolian dust is a significant source of iron and other nutrients to the surface ocean, but constraining the size of this flux is difficult. Chemical tracers, such as Al, are useful, but are limited by lack of information about their rate of removal from surface seawater. In this study, we test the u...
