What Does GEOSECS Stand For?

GEOSECS stands for Geochemical Ocean Sections

GEOSECS, or Geochemical Ocean Sections, is an oceanographic initiative focused on the systematic collection and analysis of geochemical data from oceanic sections. This program aims to enhance our understanding of marine chemistry, biological productivity, and the interactions between oceanic and atmospheric systems. By providing detailed insights into the distribution of trace elements, nutrients, and other chemical constituents in the ocean, GEOSECS contributes to the assessment of ocean health and helps inform climate and ecosystem modeling efforts.
