Study sheds light on nutrient levels in the Gulf of Mexico

Amit Malewar

Scientists tracked nutrient transport in the Gulf of Mexico.

Scientists examined hundreds of samples taken along the global ridges that contain recycled ancient oceanic crust in variable amounts. “Depleted" segments of the ridge received lower than “normal” amounts of recycled crust, while “enriched” segments contain a larger proportion of recycled crust.
