Ocean Sciences 2026

MarChemSpec scientists David Turner and Simon Clegg will be present at the meeting in Glasgow, and available for discussions. They can be found at the Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry (OCB) booth in the Exhibition Hall on the Tuesday (10 – 11 am), and Wednesday (11 am to noon). Please email if you want to see us at some other time.

David’s poster OB14B-0473 describes a thorough update of our trace metal complexation model (The updated MarChemSpec trace element model: treatment of inorganic complexation in CLE-CSV titrations).  The revised treatment of Fe(III) – hydroxide complexation is a particular focus, and has implications for ocean chemistry. Please note that this title is slightly different from that in the conference programme.

We are now updating the MarChemSpec software for the revised trace metal treatment, and this should be available for distribution in the spring of this year. Please contact us if you want to know more (s.clegg@uea.ac.uk, david.turner@marine.gu.se).
