This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences provides $934,762 to Oregon State University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) from July 15, 2022 to June 30, 2025. The funding supports collaborative research to better understand the geochemistry of neodymium isotopes and rare earth elements in the North Atlantic Ocean and their influence on deep water circulation patterns. The researchers hypothesize that ocean sediments are a major source of neodymium to the deep ocean, in contrast to existing models. They will test this hypothesis by sampling sediments, pore waters, and overlying ocean waters from multiple sites to measure a suite of elements and isotopes. Insights gained from this work have the potential to transform interpretations of existing neodymium isotope data used to study both modern and ancient ocean circulation patterns and their impact on climate. The research also furthers general understanding of the importance of benthic environments on marine trace metal cycling.
