Elements in the Ocean

from NOVA | PBS Hosted by WGBH Science Unit

There's a lot more to the oceans than salt and water. Many other ingredients make up the rich broth that sustains marine life and helps regulate the Earth's climate. But where do those ingredients come from? To answer that question, French geochemist Catherine Jeandel has collected seawater from all over the world and is examining it for elemental clues. This podcast was produced by Sam Eaton for NOVA and PRI's "The World."
