This $365,989 National Science Foundation project grant supports research on nitrogen isotope dynamics on the Amundsen Sea continental margin in Antarctica through the Geosciences program. The grantee, Princeton University, will collaborate with other researchers on the U.S. GEOTRACES GP17-ANT expedition to study the operation of the nitrogen cycle and determine major sources and sinks of biological productivity on this segment of the Antarctic continental shelf. Full depth profiles of nitrogen and oxygen isotope ratios in nitrate will be measured at all stations, along with isotope ratios of total dissolved nitrogen at select sites to provide insight into nitrogen sources and cycling. Isotope ratios will also be analyzed from suspended particles and surface sediments to investigate regeneration and ground-truth paleo-proxy applications. The research aims to establish a baseline for reconstructing past environmental changes using sediment cores while training students. Findings will enhance understanding of this globally important yet changing polar region under the Geosciences program's support of basic research on integrated Earth system processes.
