Abstract
Glacially-derived iron fertilizes the Southern Ocean ecosystem, but the quantities transported by runoff from Antarctica are unknown. Here, the authors show significant fluxes associated with surface meltwater runoff, and demonstrate that a marked increase in export can be expected in response to climate warming.
