High export of dissolved silica from the Greenland Ice Sheet

High export of dissolved silica from the Greenland Ice Sheet

Abstract Silica is an essential element for marine life and plays a key role in the biogeochemistry of the ocean. Glacial activity stimulates rock weathering, generating dissolved silica that is exported to coastal areas along with meltwater. The magnitude of the dissolved silica export from large g...
