Section 4. Iron Transport by the Shelf-to-Basin Shuttle

My PhD supervisor, Mike Atherton, was a metamorphic geochemist who ran a geochemical training ‘boot camp.’ There was an initiation rite at the start of this programme with neophyte geochemists being tested on their pipetting skills. The exercise seemed deceptively simple: pipette successive one
