THE ZERO-ORDER MODEL REVISITED - SCHINDLER,PAUL INFLUENCE ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF TRACE-METAL SCAVENGING MODELS Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • In 1975 Paul Schindler produced the first oceanic trace metal scavenging model to explicitly include the role of surface chemistry as a control on trace metal water column residence times. The eighteen years that have elapsed since the publication of Schindler's seminal paper have seen the development of a variety of oceanic scavenging models; yet, the fundamental insight of his "Zero-order Model" remains the benchmark. This paper describes the role of Paul Schindler's work on surface chemistry in providing a framework for the current generation of trace element scavenging models. 1993 Birkhuser Verlag.
