attribute NC_GLOBAL acquisition_description String Sediment samples: Sediment cores were collected from the Cinder Cones site\nincluding a methane seep habitat and vertically sectioned into identified\nintervals at either 3cm or 1cm intervals depending on the analysis. To\nquantify methane from sediment plugs, subcores were taken vertically via a\nsyringe with the end cut off to sample 3 cm3 of sediment.\\u00a0 The subcores\nwere preserved in 2ml of 5M NaOH in a serum bottle and caped with a butyl\nstopper for later analysis. It was stored and shipped upside down. Large grain\nsize led to rapid dewatering of the cores making the concentrations likely\nconservative estimates of the methane (i.e. the is a chance some of the\nporewater was lost during sampling).\\u00a0 For 0-1 cm sediment plugs, a core\nwas vertically sectioned and frozen at -80oC until later analysis.\n \nPorewater samples:\\u00a0 Pore water was sampled in situ by placing a vertical\nbarrier in the sediment, excavating one side and inserting a Rhyzon filter\n(0.2 um) into the intact sediment on the opposite side of the excavation. 1 ml\nof porewater was discarded as a rinse and then 5ml of pore water was\nextracted. These were taken at 2 cm intervals starting at 1 cm below the\nsediment surface to 5cm.\\u00a0 3ml were preserved in serum bottles with 2ml of\n5M NaOH for later methane analysis. 1 ml was filtered to remove particles >0.2\num and frozen for ion analysis and 1ml was preserved with 0.25ml of 0.05 M\nZinc acetate for hydrogen sulfide concentration for Spectrophotometric\nanalysis following Cline (1969).\\u00a0\\u00a0\n \nSampling and analytical procedures:\\u00a0\\u00a0  \n Methane: Samples were kept stored cold and inverted for both porewater and\nsediment plug sampling approaches for methane.\\u00a0 Headspace from each of\nthe serum vials was injected into a Gas Chromatograph with Flame Ionization\nDetector (GC-FID) after a standard curve was generated based on known\nstandards increasing from 10 to 1000 ppm and the same injection volume\n(between 50 and 100 ul) as the headspace of the samples.\\u00a0 Adjusted r2 of\nthe calibration curve was\\u00a0 1.0.\\u00a0 Response area was measured using\n\\u201cPeak Simple\\u201d software.\n \nMethane Flux: Methane flux was measured in 2016 through the deployment of\nbenthic flux chambers. Chambers were 10cm i.d. cores with a cap containing a\nsepta sealed hole for sampling and an o-ring seal around the cap. The chambers\nwere sealed with the caps after the cores were inserted into the sediment to\nensure minimal disturbance to the system. Chambers were not continually\nstirred but were stirred by using magnetic propeller system that allowed\ngentle agitation prior to each sample collection. Samples were taken on\n12-hour intervals to quantify that release of methane through syringe sampling\nthrough the septa; at no point were the chambers opened

attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_description String NSF abstract:\nMethane is a potent greenhouse gas that is naturally emitted into the oceans by geologic seeps and microbial production. Based on studies of persistent deep-sea seeps at mid- and northern latitudes, researchers have learned that bacteria and archaea can create a \"sediment filter\" that oxidizes methane prior to its release. Antarctica is thought to contain large reservoirs of organic carbon buried beneath its ice which could a quantity of methane equivalent to all of the permafrost in the Arctic and yet we know almost nothing about the methane oxidizing microbes in this region. How these microbial communities develop and potentially respond to fluctuations in methane levels is an under-explored avenue of research. A bacterial mat was recently discovered at 78 degrees south, suggesting the possible presence of a methane seep, and associated microbial communities. This project will explore this environment in detail to assess the levels and origin of methane, and the nature of the microbial ecosystem present.\nAn expansive bacterial mat appeared and/or was discovered at 78 degrees south in 2011. This site, near McMurdo Station Antarctica, has been visited since the mid-1960s, but this mat was not observed until 2011. The finding of this site provides an unusual opportunity to study an Antarctic marine benthic habitat with active methane cycling and to examine the dynamics of recruitment and community succession of seep fauna including bacteria, archaea, protists and metazoans. This project will collect the necessary baseline data to facilitate further studies of Antarctic methane cycling. The concentration and source of methane will be determined at this site and at potentially analogous sites in McMurdo Sound. In addition to biogeochemical characterization of the sites, molecular analysis of the microbial community will quantify the time scales on which bacteria and archaea respond to methane input and provide information on rates of community development and succession in the Southern Ocean. Project activities will facilitate the training of at least one graduate student and results will be shared at both local and international levels. A female graduate student will be mentored as part of this project and data collected will form part of her dissertation. Lectures will be given in K-12 classrooms in Oregon to excite students about polar science. National and international audiences will be reached through blogs and presentations at a scientific conference. The PI's previous blogs have been used by K-12 classrooms as part of their lesson plans and followed in over 65 countries.
