We recently published 4 new papers in DSRII. These papers report on surface production, export production and twilight zone C mineralization during the SAZ-Sense cruise in the the PFZ and SAZ south of Tasmania (Southern Ocean). The objective was to compare the contrasting zones of the Tasman Plateau in terms of organic C sequestration capacity. A futher objective was to better constrain the different tools used (Ba_xs, ²³⁴Th, bacterial activity and ¹³C & ¹⁵N).
