attribute NC_GLOBAL acquisition_description String Planktic foraminifera were collected by towing a 200-\\u03bcm-mesh plankton net\nfor 90 min at a target depth within the upper mixed layer. Approximately 90%\nof the tow material was preserved in a 5-10% pH-buffered formalin solution and\nstored at 4\\u00b0C until sorting for foraminifera (Ren et al., 2012). The\nremaining 10% was size fractionated and frozen at \\u221220\\u00b0C for element\nand isotope analysis of zooplankton. During each tow, bulk (>0.3 \\u00b5m)\nsuspended PON and nitrate samples were collected from the underway intake (at\n7 m depth) and frozen at \\u221280\\u00b0C and \\u221220\\u00b0C, respectively,\nuntil isotope analysis. In situ (i.e., tow-depth) nitrate samples and\nauxiliary hydrographic data come from CTD casts performed on station before\nthe start of each net tow.\n \nForaminifera were separated by species, rinsed briefly with Milli-Q and\ncrushed open to expose (non-shell-bound) tissue. Tissue N was converted to\nnitrate using the persulfate oxidation method (Nydahl, 1978; Knapp et al.,\n2005). Remnant shell material (having been oxidatively cleaned) was\ntransferred, rinsed six times with Milli-Q and oven dried at 50\\u00b0C. Shell\nsamples were then dissolved with hydrochloric acid to release shell-bound\norganics for persulfate oxidation (Nydahl, 1978; Knapp et al., 2005). For both\ntissue- and shell-derived nitrate (from persulfate oxidation) as well as\nseawater nitrate, samples were measured for concentration by chemiluminescence\n(Braman & Hendrix, 1989) and N isotope composition using the denitrifier\nmethod and gas chromatography\\u2212isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GC-IRMS)\n(Sigman et al., 2001; Casciotti et al., 2002; Weigand et al., 2016). The N\nisotope composition of bulk PON and size-fractionated zooplankton were\nmeasured by elemental analyser-IRMS.\n \nThe isotopic composition of N\\u2082O was measured either at Princeton\nUniversity (USA) or the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry (MPIC; Germany) by\nGC-IRMS using a Thermo MAT 253 mass spectrometer with a purpose-built on-line\nN\\u2082O extraction and purification system. Bulk PON and size-fractionated\nzooplankton samples were measured at the University of Cape Town using a\nThermo Scientific FLASH 2000 elemental analyzer coupled to a Thermo Scientific\nDelta V Plus mass spectrometer. Hydrographic data were acquired by a Sea-Bird\nconductivity-temperature depth sensor during each cast.\n \nSee methods section of Smart et al. (2020) for more detail.

attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_acronym String Diatom-bound_N_Isotopes
attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_description String Description from NSF award abstract:\nThe high concentration of the major nutrients nitrate and phosphate is a fundamental characteristic of the Antarctic Zone in the Southern Ocean and is central to its role in global ocean fertility and the global carbon cycle. The isotopic composition of diatom-bound organic nitrogen is one of the best hopes for reconstructing the nutrient status of polar surface waters over glacial cycles, which in turn may hold the explanation for the decline in atmospheric carbon dioxide during ice ages. The PIs propose to generate detailed diatom-bound nitrogen isotope (δ15Ndb) records from high sedimentation rate cores from the Kerguelen Plateau. Because the cores were collected at relatively shallow seafloor depths, they have adequate planktonic and benthic foraminifera to develop accurate age models. The resulting data could be compared with climate records from Antarctic ice cores and other archives to investigate climate-related changes, including the major steps into and out of ice ages and the millennial-scale events that occur during ice ages and at their ends. The records generated in this project will provide a critical test of hypotheses for the cause of lower ice age CO2.\nThis study will contribute to the goal of understanding ice ages and past CO2 changes, which both have broad implications for future climate. Undergraduates will undertake summer internships, with the possibility of extending their work into junior year projects and senior theses. In addition, the PI will lead modules for two Princeton programs for middle school teachers and will host a teacher for a six-week summer research project.

attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_1_acronym String N Isotopes Foraminifera
attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_1_description String NSF Award Abstract:\nNitrogen (N) and phosphorus are the two nutrients required in large quantity by phytoplankton in the ocean, and together they limit productivity throughout most of the tropical, subtropical, and temperate ocean. Both the cycling of N and its input/output budget have been argued to control the fertility of the ocean and the ocean's role in setting atmospheric CO2. The CaCO3 tests of foraminifera can represent a substantial fraction of marine sediments and have been used extensively in paleoceanography; they are an obvious target for isotopic analysis of microfossil-bound organic matter.\nIn recent years, researchers at Princeton have developed a protocol for the isotopic analysis of foraminiferal shell-bound N. The current protocol is at least 100 times more sensitive than typical on-line combustion, allowing for rapid progress with a N isotope archive that was previously not feasible to measure. Measurements on surface sediments and a downcore record from the Caribbean show the promise of foraminifera-bound del15N (fb-del15N) to provide both a robust N isotope archive for paleoceanography, and one with a unique potential of richness, given the existence of multiple foraminiferal species with different depth habitats and behaviors. Moreover, the finding from the Caribbean Sea record -- reduced N fixation in ice age Atlantic -- has changed the scientific conversation about the nature of the input/output budget of oceanic fixed N and its potential to change ocean fertility and atmospheric CO2. However, the controls on fb-del15N have not yet been adequately studied.\nIn this project, as a first major step in developing a foundation for the paleoceanographic application of fb-del15N, the same Princeton University team will study its genesis in the water column, transport to the seafloor, and early diagenesis. They will undertake this study in the Sargasso Sea south of Bermuda. This is one of the best studied regions of the ocean, in general and with respect to foraminifera, and a region that has been has been a focus of the N isotope research of the PI for the last decade and others previously. Moreover, its significant seasonality -- in physical oceanography, biogeochemistry, and foraminiferal species abundance -- will facilitate the effort to understand the controls on fb-del15N at a mechanistic level. The research team will participate in six Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) cruises over two years, collecting foraminifera and other N forms likely to provide insight into the controls on fb-del15N. From the nearby Oceanic Flux Program (OFP) moored sediment traps and from shallow sediments collected in the region, they will pick foraminifera shells and again make relevant ancillary measurements. This work will establish the relationship of foraminiferal biomass to shell-bound del15N for different species, and comparison of the foraminiferal isotope data with the upper ocean N pools will yield empirical isotopic relationships and work toward a mechanistic insight of fb-del15N (e.g., the importance of different N pools to the diets of different foraminifera; the role of algal symbionts). The sediment trap and surface sediment data will support the plankton tow data by integrating over longer time scales and will also address questions regarding late stage (e.g., gametogenic) calcification and the early diagenesis of fb-del15N and fb-N content.\nBroader Impacts: This study will yield an improved understanding of the nutrient dynamics of foraminifera, a class of organisms whose shells are a central tool in micropaleontology and paleoclimatology. The project will also build on the principal investigator's involvement in the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences as an asset for integrating ocean-related education and research at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.

attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_2_description String NSF Award Abstract:\nIntellectual Merit:\nThe PIs are requesting funds to acquire a suite of instruments for stable isotope (N) research, including a denitrifier-based, natural abundance isotope system, a tracer isotope system, and general purpose natural abundance peripherals for an existing mass spectrometer. Specific instruments requested include a Thermo Electron MAT 253 stable isotope mass spectrometer, a Thermo DeltaVAdvantage stable isotope mass spectrometer with peripherals, an EA peripheral for combustion-based isotope analysis, and a GasBench II carbon dioxide preparation and purification system. The proposed instrumentation would enable research efforts examining natural stable isotope abundances that include ocean biogeochemistry and paleoceanography, terrestrial biogeochemistry, carbon isotopes in Precambrian Earth history. Stable isotope tracer research would include nitrification, nitrogen fixation, and carbon partitioning during biostimulation.\nBroader Impacts:\nThe PIs state that the proposed instrumentation would expand the research capabilities of the institution and specifically the Departments of Geosciences and Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. The improvements to the denitrifier method will also serve to expand the capabilities of the ocean research community at large. Additionally, the proposed instrumentation will enable method development and provide training for undergraduate students at the institution and those participating in a collaborative effort with the University of Cape Town.
