Z. Zhang, A. Xu, et al.

Discover the remarkable effects of the January 2022 Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcanic eruption on the South Pacific Gyre's biogeochemistry. This research, conducted by Zhouling Zhang, Antao Xu, Ed Hathorne, and their colleagues at GEOMAR, reveals how the eruption substantially impacted trace metal concentrations and nutrient dynamics in this vital oceanic region.
