Jim Bishop Iron Quotations

Now the task was to get quantitative information about how much iron there was and about its chemistry. A year later, we had the results we needed that pointed to the continental margin as the source of the iron.

The delivery of the iron far off shore was stealthy (out of contact with surface waters).

What was unexpected was the quantity of iron we found in the samples. Perhaps iron triggered the bloom. Was it from Asian dust as many has widely believed, or did it come from somewhere else?
