Short summary
Hydrothermal plumes of iron (Fe) have been observed to persist in the deep ocean, but the exact mechanisms that contribute to the long-range transport of Fe are not well defined. We collected plume waters from three different vent systems along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and monitored the temporal evolution of the physical and chemical forms of iron and its interaction with organic matter over time to learn about the mechanisms that control its dispersion.
