Seasonal variation in marine C:N:P stoichiometry: can the composition of seston explain stable Redfield ratios? [PDF]
Seston is suspended particulate organic matter, comprising a mixture of autotrophic, heterotrophic and detrital material. Despite variable proportions of these components, marine seston often exhibits relatively small deviations from the Redfield ratio ...

Descendants of the first stars: the distinct chemical signature of second generation stars [PDF]
Extremely metal-poor (EMP) stars in the Milky Way (MW) allow us to infer the properties of their progenitors by comparing their chemical composition to the metal yields of the first supernovae.
