This $198,707 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to collect, test, and intercalibrate new trace metal consensus seawater samples. The primary objectives are to improve the quality and accuracy of seawater trace metal concentration data over the next decade through optimized methodologies and well-studied consensus samples that can be used to assess measurement accuracy. The award supports three research cruises to collect large-volume seawater samples from the Pacific Ocean and Gulf of Mexico, which will then be analyzed by an international network of 15 laboratories to establish consensus concentration values for a suite of trace metals. This project will provide training opportunities for several students and support an early-career scientist. The consensus reference materials developed through this effort are expected to enhance the reliability of trace metal data in the ocean sciences community.
