Uranium biogeochemistry across the redox transition zone of a permanently stratified fjord: Framvaren, Norway

During August 1995, the vertical concentration profile of dissolved and particulate uranium exhibited strong non-conservative characteristics in the upper 30 m of Framvaren Fjord. There was a pronounced peak in both particulate (>0.2 μm; 1.09 nM) and dissolved (
