This $194,910 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund collaborative research to advance understanding of trace element biogeochemistry in the Amundsen Sea region of West Antarctica. Rutgers, The State University will analyze approximately 500 suspended particle and sediment samples collected during the NSF's GEOTRACES GP17-ANT cruise to quantify distributions of 40 trace elements. The investigators will test hypotheses addressing the role of phytoplankton in driving element cycling under varying iron stress conditions, the transport of meltwater and particles from ice shelf cavities, bottom nepheloid layer reactions influencing sediment composition and chemical fluxes, and the use of rare earth elements to probe terrigenous particle sources and scavenging intensity. Results will provide critical new data to assess the impact of accelerated freshwater inputs from melting glaciers on the biogeochemistry of Antarctic shelf waters and trace element cycling. The award period is from November 1, 2022 to October 31, 2025.
