Abstract
The use of PIXE for airborne particles characterization is presently a well established subject. Expanding its use to the study of the biogeochemical cycles requires accessing many other environmental compartments, and being able to characterize wide areas. In this work, we present and discuss two preliminary studies, showing that PIXE can be an important tool in a holistic approach to biogeochemical cycles studies. Open ocean airborne iron deposition estimates and the use of open ocean plankton characterization for biomonitoring of long distance atmospheric transport of elements, will be the two major items to be discussed.
