attribute NC_GLOBAL acquisition_description String Sampling was conducted aboard the R/V Neil Armstrong (cruise AR16) in May\n2017. Seawater was collected from Niskin bottles deployed on a rosette with a\nCTD.\n \nSamples for seawater methane (CH4) and ethylene (C2H4) concentration\nmeasurements were collected from the CTD rosette in 250 mL glass serum vials\n(pre-combusted) crimp-sealed with aluminum collars and with Teflon-lined\nsepta. Samples were typically analyzed the same day of sampling aboard the R/V\nArmstrong with an Agilent 7980A gas chromatograph equipped with a flame\nionization detector (FID) and a gas stripping and cryo-trap concentration\nmethod as described previously (Repeta et al. 2016). The FID was calibrated by\ninjecting different sized loops of a gas mixture standard containing 10 ppm of\nCH4 and C2H4 in pure nitrogen gas (Scott-Marrin, Riverside, CA, USA).\n \nSamples for nutrient analyses were collected in acid-clean HDPE plastic\nbottles. Samples were shipped frozen to the Center for Microbial Oceanography:\nResearch and Education at the University of Hawaii at Manoa where they were\nstored frozen until analysis.\n \nSeawater phosphate (PO4) concentrations were determined following the\nautoanalyzer colorimetric procedure of Foreman et al. (2019). Seawater\nnitrate+nitrite (NOx) concentrations were determined following the\nautoanalyzer colorimetric procedure outlined of Foreman et al. (2016). Both\nPO4 and NOx analyses were performed on a SEAL Analytics autoanalyzer model 3\nHR.\n \nSeawater samples with low level N+N (LLN) concentrations were measured using\nthe modified chemiluminescent method based on titanium (III) trichloride\nreduction of N+N to nitric oxide gas and detection with an Antek model 7090 as\ndescribed by Foreman et al. (2016).\n \nMAGIC soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) concentrations (i.e. phosphate) were\ndetermined in seawater samples using the MAGnesium Induced Coprecipitation\n(MAGIC) technique as described by Karl and Tien (1992) with modifications\nbased on Thompson-Bulldis and Karl (1998) and Cavendar-Bares et al. (2001) to\nincrease the concentration factor of phosphate. Specifically, SRP was\nconcentrated from 150 mL sweater samples using 0.75 mL (0.5% v/v) of 1M NaOH\nto precipitate Mg(OH)\\u2082 and the Mg(OH)\\u2082 pellets were dissolved with\n5.25 mL of 0.1M HCl.\n \nTotal dissolved P (TDP) concentrations were measured by a photo-oxidation\nprocedure in which controlled exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation converts\norganic P in seawater to phosphate which is then measured by the modified\nmolybdenum blue method adapted for the autoanalyzer technique. The UV photo-\noxidation methodology for TDP analysis is described in Foreman et al. (2019).\nThe difference between TDP and PO4 or TDP and SRP is calculated to estimate\nthe concentration of dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP) in seawater.

attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_description String NSF Award Abstract:\nThe \"marine methane paradox\" refers to observations of high concentrations of methane in surface waters of the ocean, even though these waters are well-oxygenated and high in sulfate, both features which generally do not favor the production of methane. This project aims to elucidate on the cause of this paradox. Based on preliminary results, the investigator identified the potential for methane production stimulated by microbial cycling of dissolved organic matter. Polysaccharides (carbonates such as starch) are a major component of high molecular weight dissolved organic matter (HMWDOM) and they can incorporate esters of methylphosphonate, which may be allowing for the production of methane in surface waters. When these HMWDOM polysaccharides were introduced to seawater samples, the researchers saw production of methane with an anomalous stable carbon isotope ratio comparable to what is seen in the paradoxical surface waters enriched in methane. By making measurements of trace gases, HMWDOM phosphonate, and stable carbon isotope measurements in the western North Atlantic Ocean, the investigator and his collaborators will reassess the preliminary data and the implications of these results for the entire oceanographic cycling of methane. Both educational and outreach efforts have been included. For the educational component, a postdoc, a graduate student, and summer undergraduate students will be work on the project, whereas for the outreach activities, the proponent plans to develop curricula on basic science and oceanography for high school students, include a high school teacher in the research cruise, and integrate results into an organic geochemistry course, the lectures of which will be publically available online.\nThis project seeks to evaluate the possibility that the \"marine methane paradox\", or the super-saturation of methane in high sulfate, well-oxygenated surface waters, is caused by microbial cycling of dissolved organic matter (DOM). There has been a great deal of preliminary evidence to support this theory. For example, samples from station ALOHA were amended with purified high molecular weight DOM (HMWDOM) polysaccharides, and methane, ethylene, and propylene productions were stimulated. HMWDOM polysaccharides incorporate esters of methylphosphonate (MPn), 2-hydroxyethylphosphonates (2-HEP), and other minor phosphonates, which are likely facilitating the production of methane, ethylene, and propylene. Carbon isotope data supports that this theory is the process behind the marine methane paradox; the d13C value of methane produced from HMWDOM polysaccharide enriched samples agrees well with the anomalous value associated with the super-saturated surface water. Only a small fraction of HMWDOM polysaccharides can easily explain the marine methane paradox, and this process could just as easily fully revise the current understanding of large scale methane cycling between the ocean and atmosphere. The researchers will assess the preliminary evidence and evaluate the microbial DOM cycling theory by making paired trace gas and HMWDOM phosphonate, as well as stable carbon isotope measurements in the western North Atlantic Ocean.
