Simon Ussher is completing his Ph.D. thesis on iron(II) biogeochemistry in the Northeast Atlantic as part of the EU-funded IRONAGES project. This work has involved four cruises (CLIVAR Transect, Southern Ocean, R.V. Aurora Australis, Oct–Dec 2001; IRONAGES Cruise, European Continental Shelf, R.V. Pelagia, Mar–Apr 2002; IRONAGES Cruise, Canary Basin, R.V. Pelagia, Oct 2002; Sargasso Sea, R.V. Weatherbird, Jul–Aug 2003).



Eric Achterberg has been at the School of Environmental Sciences, University of Plymouth, since 1994. His interests are the aquatic biogeochemistry of trace metals (including speciation), nutrients, and their interaction with organisms. Current projects include iron uptake by marine phytoplankton, the application of in situ voltammetric trace metal monitors for biogeochemical studies, and the development and application of spectroscopy-based monitoring equipment. During the last six years, he has attracted about £1 million in research income.



Paul Worsfold has 25 years research experience. He has been Professor of Analytical Science at the UoP since 1990 and Director of the Plymouth Environmental Research Centre since 1995. He has authored over 200 research papers and supervised 36 Ph.D. completions. His major research interests are the design and deployment of instrumentation for monitoring of environmental processes, and the use of this high quality data to elucidate biogeochemical cycles, trends, and transient events. Recent projects include techniques for measuring trace metals in marine waters, advancements in global iron simulations, detection and characterization of iron complexes in seawater, and site characterization of the Southwest European marine sites. Paul Worsfold is a member of the Editorial Advisory Board of Environmental Chemistry.
