Marine Biogeochemistry Podcast

Marine biogeochemistry studies how elements like carbon and phosphorus move through the ocean. In this podcast, we explore the processes that drive this cycling. I’m Lennart Bach from the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies at the University of Tasmania, and I invite marine biogeochemists to discuss different elements and the roles they play, from well-known to less studied. Each episode focuses on one element and a specific topic, aimed at researchers and students.

Nitrogen I - the who's who in N2 fixation - Mar Benavides

All life, and certainly this podcast, critically depends on nitrogen (N). It all starts with the fixation of N2 gas to make it available for life, so I reached out to Dr. Mar Benavides from National Oceanography Centre in the UK to ask a lot of dumb, and some extremely sophisticated questions on the matter.

Thanks Mar for being the Guinea pig on this podcast!
