The R/V Nathaniel B. Palmer arrived in Lyttelton, New Zealand on January 28, 2024, completing the science operations of the U.S. GEOTRACES cruise GP17-ANT. The almost two months cruise was largely successful in achieving its science goals, with 21 stations over the Amundsen Sea continental shelf, 3 stations over the continental slope and 3 off-shelf stations, including one deep-ocean station as a crossover with the preceding GP17-OCE cruise. All stations included collections of samples with a near-surface towfish, a conventional CTD-rosette, a trace-metal clean CTD-rosette, and McLane in-situ pumps. Additional sampling activities included the collection of aerosols, precipitation, sea ice an snow as well as sediment cores for pore-fluid extraction and high-volume pumped seawater samples for radium isotopes and beryllium-7. The heavy sea ice cover prevented access to a number of planned stations including the Thwaites Ice Shelf, Pine Island Bay and the eastern portion of the outer Amundsen Sea shelf. Nonetheless, samples were collected from stations adjacent to the Dotson and Getz Ice Shelves, as well as on- and off-shelf stations impacted by melting sea ice, polynya stations where phytoplankton biomass was extraordinarily high, and a station adjacent to fast ice with near-zero chlorophyll fluorescence. With support from the U.S. National Science Foundation, samples were collected from 23 separate science projects, which together encompass measurements of nearly all of the GEOTRACES key trace elements and isotopes.
