Edward D Goldberg

Edward D. Goldberg was a notable geochemist who contributed greatly to the field of marine chemistry. He is most recognized for his work on the biogeochemical cycles of trace metals in the ocean, which had important implications for understanding the impact of human activities on the marine environment.

Goldberg and his team discovered that manganese nodules found on the ocean floor were rich in valuable metals such as nickel, copper, and cobalt, leading to interest in deep sea mining.
