attribute NC_GLOBAL acquisition_description String Small (1-53 \\u00b5m) and large (>53 \\u00b5m) marine particles were sampled on\nall three cruises using in situ pumps (WTS-LV, standard, 8 L min\\u207b\\u00b9;\nMcLane Research Laboratories, East Falmouth); water was passed sequentially\nthrough 53 \\u03bcm pore-size nylon mesh and 1 \\u03bcm pore-size quartz\nmicrofiber (QMA) filters with 142 mm diameter using a mini-MULVFS filter\nholder (Bishop et al., 2012). On the spring cruise, one pump was equipped with\na pump head and motor with a maximum flow rate of 30 L min\\u207b\\u00b9, and\nhigh volume samples of particles >53 \\u00b5m were collected. The large\nparticles collected on the nylon mesh were sonicated and concentrated into a\npre-combusted 47 mm QMA filter.\n \nMarine particles were collected in two size fractions, small particles in\ncombusted quartz filters (1-53 \\u03bcm) and large particles in a nylon mesh (>\n53 \\u03bcm) using in situ McLane pumps during the three research cruises.\n \nThe marine particles were analyzed for total Hg concentrations by acid\nassisted microwave digestions and aliquots were analyzed by cold vapor atomic\nfluorescence spectrophotometry.\n \nFor THg isotope determination samples were combusted in a two-stage combustion\nfurnace and Hg(0) g was trapped in a 1% KMnO4 solution. The 1% KMnO4 solution\nwas analyzed for Hg stable isotope composition using a multiple collector\ninductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer.\n \nAll the methods are detailed in Motta et al., (2019).

attribute NC_GLOBAL instruments_0_description String The Large Volume Pumping System-WTS-LV can be one of several different models of Water Transfer Systems (WTS) Large Volume (LV) pumping systems designed and manufactured by McLane Research Labs (Falmouth, MA, USA). The WTS-LV systems are large volume in-situ filtration systems designed to collect sinking particulates. WTS-LV systems are individual in situ, battery-powered, pumping/filtration units that can be deployed at multiple depths per cast to provide information on how particle flux changes with depth. The McLane WTS-LV series of oceanographic pumps draw ambient water through filters and can pump large volumes of seawater during a single cast. The WTS-LV pumps are designed for use from a hydro-wire and employ advanced control algorithms to dynamically optimize flow rates as material accumulates on a filter.

attribute NC_GLOBAL instruments_2_description String A Cold Vapor Atomic Fluorescent Spectrophotometer (CVAFS) is an instrument used for quantitative determination of volatile heavy metals, such as mercury. CVAFS make use of the characteristic of mercury that allows vapor measurement at room temperature. Mercury atoms in an inert carrier gas are excited by a collimated UV light source at a particular wavelength. As the atoms return to their non-excited state they re-radiate their absorbed energy at the same wavelength. The fluorescence may be detected using a photomultiplier tube or UV photodiode.

attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_description String NSF award abstract:\nMercury is a pervasive trace element that exists in several states in the marine environment, including monomethylmercury (MMHg), a neurotoxin that bioaccumulates in marine organisms and poses a human health threat. Understanding the fate of mercury in the ocean and resulting impacts on ocean food webs requires understanding the mechanisms controlling the depths at which mercury chemical transformations occur. Preliminary mercury analyses on nine species of marine fish from the North Pacific Ocean indicated that intermediate waters are an important entry point for MMHg into open ocean food webs. To elucidate the process controlling this, researchers will examine mercury dynamics in regions with differing vertical dissolved oxygen profiles, which should influence depths of mercury transformation. Results of the study will aid in a better understanding of the pathways by which mercury enters the marine food chain and can ultimately impact humans. This project will provide training for graduate and undergraduate students, and spread awareness on oceanic mercury through public outreach and informal science programs.\nMercury isotopic variations can provide insight into a wide variety of environmental processes. Isotopic compositions of mercury display mass-dependent fractionation (MDF) during most biotic and abiotic chemical reactions and mass-independent fractionation (MIF) during photochemical radical pair reactions. The unusual combination of MDF and MIF can provide information on reaction pathways and the biogeochemical history of mercury. Results from preliminary research provide strong evidence that net MMHg formation occurred below the surface mixed layer in the pycnocline and suggested that MMHg in low oxygen intermediate waters is an important entry point for mercury into open ocean food webs. These findings highlight the critical need to understand how MMHg levels in marine biota will respond to changes in atmospheric mercury emissions, deposition of inorganic mercury to the surface ocean, and hypothesized future expansion of oxygen minimum zones. Using field collections across ecosystems with contrasting biogeochemistry and mercury isotope fractionation experiments researchers will fill key knowledge gaps in mercury biogeochemistry. Results of the proposed research will enable scientists to assess the biogeochemical controls on where in the water column mercury methylation and demethylation likely occur.\nRelated background publication with supplemental data section:\nJoel D.
