attribute NC_GLOBAL acquisition_description String Sediment and pore water collection:\n \nShort sediment cores were collected using a Bowers & Connelly megacorer, a\nmultiple coring device that can collect ~20-40 cm long sediment cores with\nundisturbed sediment surfaces. At two sites (stations 41 and 64) longer cores\n(up to ~2 m) were also collected with a Kasten corer.\n \nMegacorer cores were either sectioned for solid phase analysis, profiled with\npolarographic microelectrodes to determine dissolved O2 concentrations, or\nsectioned in a cold van under N2 for pore water sample extraction. Samples for\nsolid phase analyses were placed in pre-cleaned screw-capped vials and frozen\nfor porosity determinations at the New England Oceanographic Laboratory\n(NEOL).\n \nKasten cores were brought into a large cold room on-board ship, laid on their\nside and one side of the core box removed to expose the sediment in the core.\nA plastic block was placed against the top of the core to prevent slumping of\nthe sediment during processing, and pore waters were collected from these\ncores using Rhizon samplers inserted directly into the cores at measured\nintervals. After pore water sampling was complete, samples for solid phase\nanalyses were removed from the cores with plastic spoons and again placed in\npre-cleaned screw-capped vials for porosity determinations.\n \nWhile it is possible to recover cores with intact sediment-water interfaces\nusing a megacorer, loss of surface sediments is typical during Kasten coring,\nmaking it not possible to directly determine absolute depths below the\nsediment-water interface in a Kasten core. We therefore determined the\nabsolute depths of pore water and solid phase sample intervals from Kasten\ncores by aligning Kasten core profiles of pore water alkalinity to megacore\nalkalinity profiles from the same site (Berelson et al., 2005; Komada et al.,\n2016).\n \nSediment porosity determination:\n \nThe water content of the frozen porosity samples was determined by weight\ndifference, where each sample was thawed, and a portion weighed, dried at\n60\\u00b0C for 24 hours and then reweighed. The porosity was expressed in terms\nof ml of seawater per cubic centimeter of whole sediments, where the weight of\ndried sediment was reduced by the weight of sea salts within the pore water\n(assuming bottom water salinity), and the volume of dried sediments was\ncalculated assuming a dry density of 2.65 g cm-3 (Christensen, 1989).

attribute NC_GLOBAL project String Antarctic Shelf Sediments
attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_acronym String Antarctic Shelf Sediments
attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_description String NSF Award Abstract:\nGeneral Statement:\nThe continental shelf region west of the Antarctic Peninsula has recently undergone dramatic changes and ecosystem shifts, and the community of organisms that live in, or feed off, the sea floor sediments is being impacted by species invasions from the north. Previous studies of these sediments indicate that this community may consume much more of the regional productivity than previously estimated, suggesting that sediments are a rich and important component of this ecosystem and one that may be ripe for dramatic change. Furthermore, under richer sediment conditions, iron is mobilized and released back to the water column. Since productivity in this ecosystem is thought to be limited by the availability of iron, increased rates of iron release from these sediments could stimulate productivity and promote greater overall ecosystem change. In this research, a variety of sites across the shelf region will be sampled to accurately evaluate the role of sediments in consuming ecosystem productivity and to estimate the current level of iron release from the sediments. This project will provide a baseline set of sediment results that will present a more complete picture of the west Antarctic shelf ecosystem, will allow for comparison with water column measurements and for evaluation of the fundamental workings of this important ecosystem. This is particularly important since high latitude systems may be vulnerable to the effects of climate fluctuations. Both graduate and undergraduate students will be trained. Presentations will be made at scientific meetings, at other universities, and at outreach events. A project web site will present key results to the public and explain how this new information improves understanding of Antarctic ecosystems.\n\nTechnical Description of Project:\nIn order to determine the role of sediments within the west Antarctic shelf ecosystem, this project will determine the rates of sediment organic matter oxidation at a variety of sites across the Palmer Long Term Ecosystem Research (LTER) study region. To estimate the rates of release of iron and manganese from the sediments, these same sites will be sampled for detailed vertical distributions of the concentrations of these metals both in the porewaters and in important mineral phases. Since sediment sampling will be done at LTER sites, the sediment data can be correlated with the rich productivity data set from the LTER. In detail, the project: a) will determine the rates of oxygen consumption, organic carbon oxidation, nutrient release, and iron mobilization by shelf sediments west of the Antarctic Peninsula; b) will investigate the vertical distribution of diagenetic reactions within the sediments; and c) will assess the regional importance of these sediment rates. Sediment cores will be used to determine sediment-water fluxes of dissolved oxygen, total carbon dioxide, nutrients, and the vertical distributions of these dissolved compounds, as well as iron and manganese in the pore waters. Bulk sediment properties of porosity, organic carbon and nitrogen content, carbonate content, biogenic silica content, and multiple species of solid-phase iron, manganese, and sulfur species will also be determined. These measurements will allow determination of total organic carbon oxidation and denitrification rates, and the proportion of aerobic versus anaerobic respiration at each site. Sediment diagenetic modeling will link the processes of organic matter oxidation to metal mobilization. Pore water and solid phase iron and manganese distributions will be used to model iron diagenesis in these sediments and to estimate the iron flux from the sediments to the overlying waters. Finally, the overall regional average and distribution of the sediment processes will be compared with the distributions of seasonally averaged chlorophyll biomass and productivity.
