Carbonate Dissolution in the Deep-Sea
279
Acknowledgments
We appreciate the kind assistance of the crews and
masters of RIV Meteor on numerous cruises to
The South Atlantic. The authors are indebted to M.
Matthies and R. Schlotte, who assisted the processing of the GEOSECS data set, and to H. Heilmann,
R. Henning, and C. Wienberg for technical colJaboration. B. Diekmann contributed Fig. 6. This research benefitted from many discussions with colleagues at Bremen University. FinaIJy, we acknowledge the constructive comments by W. H. Berger
and the review of D. Archer. This research was
funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.
