    The archaeal lipid composition of partially lithified cold seep mats (2008)
    Elsevier

    Description: The anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM), by converting methane to bicarbonate which is then precipitated as extensive carbonate crusts, is an important methane sink in the Earth’s ocean systems. Here we employ a multidisciplinary approach to investigate the role of microorganisms in carbonate precipitation using biomarker analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction. We examined two microbial mats from the Black Sea and found that one comprised carbonate in both aragonite and Mg calcite forms and most likely ANME-1 archaea, whereas the other contained only Mg calcite and most likely ANME-2 archaea. We conclude, as have others, that the different microbial communities could impart different influences on carbonate mineralogy and morphology. Although further research is needed, this is a contribution to our understanding of those relationships, which could prove critical in the interpretation of ancient sedimentary deposits.

    Surface carbohydrate composition of a tapeworm in its consecutive intermediate hosts: Individual variation and fitness consequences (2005)
    Elsevier
    In:  International Journal for Parasitology, 35 (14). pp. 1499-1507.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-07-28
    Description: Carbohydrates on parasite surfaces have been shown to play an important role in host–parasite coevolution, mediating host non-self recognition and parasite camouflage. Parasites that switch hosts can change their surface molecules to remain undetected by the diverse immune systems of their different hosts. However, the question of individual variation in surface sugar composition and its relation to infectivity, virulence, immune evasion and growth of a parasite in its different hosts is as yet largely unexplored. We studied such fitness consequences of variation in surface sugars in a sympatric host–parasite system consisting of the cestode Schistocephalus solidus and its intermediate hosts, a copepod and the three-spined stickleback. Using lectins to analyse the sugar composition, we show that the tapeworm changes its surface according to the invertebrate or vertebrate host. Importantly, sugar composition seems to be genetically variable, as shown by differences among tapeworm sibships. These differences are related to variation in parasite fitness in its second intermediate host, i.e. infectivity and growth. Surface sugar composition may thus be a proximate correlate of the evolutionarily relevant variability in infectivity and virulence of parasites in different hosts.

    Correlative light/electron microscopy for the investigation of microbial mats from Black Sea Cold Seeps (2008)
    Elsevier
    In:  Journal of Microbiological Methods, 73 (2). pp. 85-91.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-06-27
    Description: In several fields of cell biology, correlative microscopy is applied to compare the structure of objects at high resolution under the electron microscope with low resolution light microscopy images of the same sample. It is, however, difficult to prepare samples and marker systems that are applicable for both microscopic techniques for the same specimen at the same time. In our studies, we used microbial mats from Cold Seep communities for a simple and rapid correlative microscopy method. The mats consist of bacterial and archaeal microorganisms, coupling reverse methanogenesis to the reduction of sulfate. The reverse methanogenic pathway also generates carbonates that precipitate inside the mat and may be the main reason for the formation of a microbial reef. The mat shows highly differentiated aggregates of various organisms, tightly interconnected by extracellular polysaccharides. In order to investigate the role of EPS as adhesive mucilage for the biofilm and as a precipitation matrix for carbonate minerals, samples were embedded in a hydrophilic resin (Lowicryl K4 M). Sections were suitable for light as well as electron microscopy in combination with lectins, either labeled with a fluorescent marker or with colloidal gold. This allows lectin mapping at low resolution for light microscopy in direct comparison with a highly resolved electron microscopic image.

    Nannofossil age constraints for the northern KwaZulu-Natal shelf-edge wedge: Implications for continental margin dynamics, South Africa, SW Indian Ocean (2008)
    Elsevier
    In:  Continental Shelf Research, 28 (17). pp. 2442-2449.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-06-27
    Description: Samples collected from the shelf-edge wedge using surface grab samples and the Jago submersible constrain the KwaZulu-Natal shelf-edge wedge to a late Pliocene age on the basis of the absence of Gephyrocapsa oceanica s.l. and Discoaster brouweri, and the presence of Calcidiscus macintyrei. This correlates with proposed Tertiary sea-level curves for southern Africa and indicates relative sea-level fall during the late Pliocene coupled with hinterland uplift. Exposed failure scarps in the upper portions of submarine canyons yield sediment samples of early Pleistocene ages, indicating the uppermost age of deposition of clinoform topsets exposed in the scarp walls. Partially consolidated, interbedded silty and sandy deposits of similar age outcrop in the thalweg of Leven canyon at a depth of 150 m. These sediments provide an upper age limit of the shelf-edge wedge of early Pleistocene, giving a sedimentation rate of this wedge of 162–309 m/Ma. The distribution of widespread basal-most Pleistocene sediments on the upper slope indicates that these sediments escaped major reworking during sea-level falls associated with Pleistocene glaciations and remain as relict upper slope veneers. The absence of more recent sediments suggests that this area has been a zone of sediment bypass or starvation since the early Pleistocene. Areas where younger sediments mantle deposits of early Pleistocene ages represent areas of offshore bedload parting, re-distributing younger Holocene sediment offshore and downslope.

    Estimating submarine groundwater discharge around Isola La Cura, northern Venice Lagoon (Italy), by using the radium quartet (2008)
    Elsevier
    In:  Marine Chemistry, 109 (3-4). pp. 292-306.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-08-12
    Description: The four naturally-occurring radium isotopes (223Ra, 224Ra, 226Ra and 228Ra) were used to estimate the submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) in the Isola La Cura marsh area in the northern Venice Lagoon (Italy). By determining the radium contributors to the study area (river, coastal ocean and sediments) the radium excess in the lagoon water was quantified through a mass balance model. This radium excess is attributed to a submarine groundwater discharge source and represents the most important input of radium. Possible endmembers were considered from analysis of groundwater samples (subtidal and marsh piezometers, marsh wells and seepage meters) that were enriched in Ra by one to two orders of magnitude relative to surface waters. In particular, a permeable layer at 80 cm depth in the surrounding marsh is considered to be representative of the most likely SGD source, although similar radium activities were measured in other subtidal porewater samples collected in the Isola La Cura area. The estimated SGD flux to the study area ranged from 1 · 109 to 6 · 109 L·d− 1, the same order of magnitude as the overall riverine input to the lagoon (3 · 109 L·d− 1). A major fraction of this SGD flux is likely recirculated seawater, as evidenced by the endmember salinity. The water residence time of 2 days was estimated by both using the shortest-lived radium isotope and estimating the volume of water exchanged between the lagoon and the open sea during a tidal cycle (tidal prism approach). This SGD flux could be used to estimate the input of other chemical species (metals, nutrients, etc.) via SGD which might affect the Venice Lagoon ecosystem.

    Submarine groundwater discharge to Great South Bay, NY, estimated using Ra isotopes (2008)
    Elsevier
    In:  Marine Chemistry, 109 (3-4). pp. 279-291.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-08-12
    Description: There is increasing evidence that submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) in many areas represents a major source of dissolved chemical constituents to the coastal ocean. In Great South Bay, NY, previous studies have shown that the discharge of nutrients with SGD may cause harmful algal blooms. This study estimates SGD to Great South Bay during August 2006 by performing a mass balance for each of the dissolved Ra isotopes (224Ra, 223Ra, 228Ra, 226Ra). The budget indicates a major unknown source (between 30 and 60% of the total input) of Ra to the bay. This imbalance can be resolved by a flux of Ra-enriched groundwater on the order of 3.5–4.5 × 109 L d− 1, depending on the Ra isotope. The Ra-estimated SGD rates compare well with those previously estimated by models of flow that decreases exponentially away from shore. Compared to previous reports of fresh groundwater discharge to the bay, the Ra-estimated discharge must comprise approximately 90% recirculated seawater. The good agreement between Ra- and model-estimated flow rates indicates that the primary SGD endmember may be best sampled at shallow depths in the sediments a short distance bayward of the low tide line.

    Paleomagnetic modeling of seamounts near the Hawaiian–Emperor bend (2005)
    Elsevier
    In:  Tectonophysics, 405 (1-4). pp. 121-140.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-04-29
    Description: The Hawaiian–Emperor Seamount chain records the motion of the Pacific Plate relative to the Hawaiian mantle hotspot for ~80 m.y. A notable feature of the chain is the pronounced bend at its middle. This bend had been widely credited to a change in plate motion, but recent research suggests a change in hotspot motion as an alternative. Existing paleomagnetic data from the Emperor Chain suggest that the hotspot moved south during the Late Cretaceous and Early Tertiary, but reached its current latitude by the age of the bend. Thus, data from area of the bend are important for understanding changes in plume latitude. In this study, we analyze the magnetic anomalies of five seamounts (Annei, Daikakuji-W, Daikakuji- E, Abbott, and Colahan) in the region of the bend. These particular seamounts were chosen because they have been recently surveyed to collect multibeam bathymetry and magnetic data positioned with GPS navigation. Inversions of the magnetic and bathymetric data were performed to determine the mean magnetization of each seamount and from these results, paleomagnetic poles and paleolatitudes were calculated. Three of the five seamounts have reversed magnetic polarities (two are normal) and four contain a small volume of magnetic polarity opposite to the main body, consistent with formation during the Early Cenozoic, a time of geomagnetic field reversals. Although magnetization inhomogene ties can degrade the accuracy of paleomagnetic poles calculated from such models, the seamounts give results consistent with one another and with other Pacific paleomagnetic data of approximately the same age. Seamount paleolatitudes range from 13.7 to 23.7, with an average of 19.4F7.4 (2j). These values are indistinguishable from the present-day paleolatitude of the Hawaiian hotspot. Together with other paleomagnetic and geologic evidence, these data imply that the Hawaiian hotspot has moved little in latitude during the past ~45 m.y.

    Evolving ideas about the Cretaceous climate and ocean circulation (2008)
    Elsevier
    In:  Cretaceous Research, 29 (5-6). pp. 725-753.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2018-02-07
    Description: The Cretaceous is a special episode in the history of the Earth named for a unique rock type, chalk. Chalk is similar to modern deep-sea calcareous ooze and its deposition in epicontinental seas occurred as these areas became an integral part of the ocean. The shelf-break fronts that today separate inshore from open-ocean waters cannot have existed during the Late Cretaceous probably because the higher sea level brought the base of the wind-mixed Ekman layer above the sea floor on the continental margins. A second peculiarity of the Cretaceous is its warm equable climate. Tropical and polar temperatures were warmer than today. Meridional and ocean-continent temperature gradients were lower. The warmer climate was a reflection of higher atmospheric levels of greenhouse gasses, CO2 and possibly CH4, reinforced by higher water vapor content in response to the warmer temperatures. Most of the additional energy involved in the meridional heat transport system was transported as latent heat of vaporization of H20 by the atmosphere. Poleward heat transport may have been as much as 1 Petawatt (20%) greater than it is today. C3 plants provided for more efficient energy transport into the interior of the continents. Circulation of the Cretaceous ocean may have been very different from that of today. It is impossible for large areas of the modern ocean to become anoxic, but episodes of local anoxia occurred during the earlier Cretaceous and became regional to global during the middle of the Cretaceous. The present ocean structure depends on constant wind systems, which in turn depend on stability of the atmospheric pressure systems forced by polar ice. During most of the Cretaceous the polar regions were ice free. Without polar ice there were seasonal reversals of the high-latitude atmospheric pressure systems, resulting in disruption of the mid- and high latitude wind systems. Without constant mid-latitude westerly winds, there would be no subtropical and polar fronts in the ocean, no well-developed ocean pycnocline, and no tropical subtropical gyres dominating ocean circulation. Instead the ocean circulation would be accomplished through mesoscale eddies which could carry warmth to the polar regions. Greater knowledge and understanding of the Cretaceous is critical for learning how the climate system operates when one or both polar regions are ice free.

    Recent seismic activity (1994–2002) of the Santorini volcano using data from local seismological network (2005)
    Elsevier
    In:  Developments in Volcanology, 7 . pp. 185-203.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-07-30
    Description: The South Aegean Active Volcanic Arc consists of a chain of five volcanic centers, the most active of which is the Santorini Volcano. A local radio-linked seismological network is installed on the island consisting of five permanent and four temporary stations. The temporary stations have been in operation periodically during the period 1994–1996 and two of them were installed on adjacent islands. All stations are equipped with vertical-component short period seismometers. During the period 1994–2002 a significant number of earthquakes has been recorded, with local (duration) magnitudes, MD, up to 5.0 and focal depths varying between 0 km and 35 km. Two clusters of epicenters have been located in the broader area of the Santorini Volcano. The first cluster is located in the caldera of the volcano and is associated with the volcanic process in the Kameni Island. The second (larger) cluster is located near the northern edge of the Santorini Island at the Kolumbo Reef and is connected with the volcanic process at this reef. These clusters can be appropriately associated with the two main tectonic features (faults) in the area under study. The first one (N60°E direction) corresponds to the continuation of the Amorgos fault in the area, while the secondary tectonic line (EW direction) is probably related with the southern edge of a submarine graben, which is located between the islands Amorgos and Santorini. Using the data set of the best-located earthquakes, recorded during the period 1994–2002, an attempt has been made to derive an appropriate equivalent 1 –D earth model for the area under study, in order to improve the accuracy of the determined hypocenters, as well as to obtain a preliminary knowledge of the volcano structure.

    Major and trace element composition of the depleted MORB mantle (DMM) (2005)
    Elsevier
    In:  Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 231 (1-2). pp. 53-72.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-05-02
    Description: We derive an estimate for the chemical composition of the depleted MORB mantle (DMM), the source reservoir to mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORBs), which represents at least 30% the mass of the whole silicate Earth. A database for the chemical and physical properties of abyssal peridotites has become robust and complete enough to truly access a reference DMM. Using trace element depletion trends from the abyssal peridotites, it is possible to construct a large part of DMM’s trace element pattern. Splicing this information with isotopic constraints (Sr–Nd–Pb–Hf) and canonical ratios (Ce/Pb, Nb/Ta, Nb/U, Ba/Rb, H2O/Ce, CO2/Nb and Cl/K), we can extend abundance estimates to all the incompatible elements including volatile content. The resulting trace element pattern for average DMM constrains parental MORB to be generated by 6% aggregated fractional melting, consistent with recent models for hydrous melting of the mantle [P.D. Asimow, J.E. Dixon, C.H. Langmuir, A hydrous melting and fractionation model for mid-ocean ridge basalts: application to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge near the Azores, Geochem. Geophys. Geosyst. 5 (2004) 10.1029/2003GC000568]. We show that DMM is roughly balanced by the continental crust and better balanced upon inclusion of ocean island basalt source and oceanic crust components. Compared to the primitive mantle, DMM has been depleted by 2–3% melt extraction and has only 15% the radiogenic heat production.

    Lipid geochemistry of methane-seep-related Black Sea carbonates (2005)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-06-30
    Description: Carbonates recovered from anoxic waters between 235 and 1555 m depth in the northwestern Black Sea were analyzed for lipid biomarkers and stable carbon isotopic compositions. In addition, a methane-seep-related microbial mat and a sample of surface sediment recovered from a non-seep site were studied for comparison. High concentrations of strongly 13C-depleted lipids attributed to bacteria and archaea mediating the anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) were found in all samples except for the sediment. Differences of the dominant AOM-performing communities between the carbonates indicated by specific lipid patterns appear to be caused by the respective biogeochemical settings. High proportions of ANME-2 consortia are found at sites of assumingly high partial pressures of methane while ANME-1 associations dominate at locations of moderate methane supply. In the sedimentary concretion, a complex mixture of biomarkers for terrestrial and planktonic organisms was found. Different molecular structures along with strong variations in the stable carbon isotopic compositions (δ13C = − 20.2‰ to − 94.3‰) allow for an estimation of the proportions of tetraether-bound biphytanes derived from planktonic Crenarchaeota and methanotrophic Euryarchaeota. Our data imply that the shape of AOM-derived carbonate precipitates in Black Sea environments is crucially influenced by the respective methane supply. Active AOM-driven chimney-like bioherms, similar to those previously observed on the Ukrainian shelf, might also develop in the deep euxinic zone at 1555 m water depths.

    Active tectonics of the southeastern Upper Rhine Graben, Freiburg area (Germany) (2008)
    Elsevier
    In:  Quaternary Science Reviews, 27 . pp. 541-555.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-09-23
    Description: The Upper Rhine Graben has two Plio-Quaternary depocentres usually interpreted as resulting from tectonic reactivation. The southern basin, near Freiburg im Breisgau (Germany), contains up to 250 m of sediments. Beneath the younger alluvial deposits related to the current drainage system, a former river network deeply entrenched in the substratum reveals a very low regional base level of early Pleistocene age. The offset of channels at faults allows us to infer a Pleistocene reactivation of the syn-rift fault pattern and the estimation of slip rates. Maximum vertical movements along the faults have not exceeded 0.1 mm/yr since the middle Pleistocene. Current activity is concentrated along the westernmost faults. Morphologic markers indicate late Pleistocene reactivation of the Rhine River fault, and geophysical prospecting suggests a near-surface offset of young sedimentary deposits. The size of the fault segments potentially reactivated suggests that earthquakes with magnitude larger than Mw=6.3Mw=6.3 could be expected in the area with a return interval of about 8000 years. Extrapolated to the duration of the Plio-Pleistocene, the strain rate estimates reveal that the tectonic forcing may account for only one-third to one-half of the whole thickness of the Plio-Pleistocene sediments of the basin fill. Thus other processes must be invoked to understand the growth of the Plio-Pleistocene basin. Especially the piracy of the Rhine River to the north during the early Pleistocene could explain these effects.

    Publication Date: 2018-10-02
    Description: European eel (Anguilla anguilla) elvers were intraperitoneally injected with different doses of 3,3′,4,4′-tetrachlorobiyphenyl (PCB77) to examine and characterize the inductive effect of coplanar PCBs on CYP1A1 gene expression in liver and gills by using a semi-quantitative RT-PCR analysis. The influence of PCB77 injection on transcription activity of the housekeeping gene glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate-dehydrogenase (GAPDH) was tested to determine its suitability as a reference gene for further quantitative gene expression analyses. Our results clearly indicate a significant dose-dependent increase in CYP1A1 gene expression in the gills of European eel, while in liver tissues a significant elevation in CYP1A1 gene expression was only detectable at highest contamination rates, indicating the potential of CYP1A1 differential gene expression analysis in gills as a biomarker for PCB contamination in eels. PCB77 contamination did not affect GAPDH transcription in gills but, at highest doses, resulted in a significant elevation in liver, speaking against GAPDH as a reference housekeeping gene after PCB exposure.

    Calcium isotope fractionation in calcite and aragonite (2005)
    Elsevier
    In:  Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 69 (18). pp. 4485-4494.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-09-08
    Description: Calcium isotope fractionation was measured on skeletal aragonite and calcite from different marine biota and on inorganic calcite. Precipitation temperatures ranged from 0 to 28°C. Calcium isotope fractionation shows a temperature dependence in accordance with previous observations: 1000 · ln(αcc) = −1.4 + 0.021 · T (°C) for calcite and 1000 · ln(αar) = −1.9 + 0.017 · T (°C) for aragonite. Within uncertainty the temperature slopes are identical for the two polymorphs. However, at all temperatures calcium isotopes are more fractionated in aragonite than in calcite. The offset in δ44/40Ca is about 0.6‰. The underlying mechanism for this offset may be related to the different coordination numbers and bond strengths of the calcium ions in calcite and aragonite crystals, or to different Ca reaction behavior at the solid-liquid interface. Recently, the observed temperature dependence of the Ca isotope fractionation was explained quantitatively by the temperature control on precipitation rates of calcium carbonates in an experimental setting (Lemarchand et al., 2004). We show that this mechanism can in principle also be applied to CaCO3 precipitation in natural environments in normal marine settings. Following this model, Ca isotope fractionation in marine Ca carbonates is primarily controlled by precipitation rates. On the other hand the larger Ca isotope fractionation of aragonite compared to calcite can not be explained by different precipitation rates. The rate control model of Ca isotope fractionation predicts a strong dependence of the Ca isotopic composition of carbonates on ambient CO32− concentration. While this model is in general accordance with our observations in marine carbonates, cultured specimens of the planktic foraminifer Orbulina universa show no dependence of Ca-isotope fractionation on the ambient CO32− concentration. The latter observation implies that the carbonate chemistry in the calcifying vesicles of the foraminifer is independent from the ambient carbonate ion concentration of the surrounding water.

    Chapter 4 Quantification of Structures and Gold Labeling in Transmission Electron Microscopy (2008)
    Elsevier
    In:  Methods in Cell Biology, 88 . pp. 59-82.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-05-09
    Description: This chapter describes a range of quantitative tools that can be applied to ultrathin sections of biological material. The transmission electron microscopy quantitative estimations are generally made on images taken of ultrathin sections, but the very first concern of any well designed study is the origin of these images. The distribution of gold labeling over an array of cellular structures displayed in ultrathin sections can be estimated in two main ways. A major use of profile data on ultrathin sections is in assessing gold particle labeling of cell components. The ultrathin sections are exposed to antibodies localized using particles of colloidal gold, and because the section presents the components to the gold labeling system it is crucial to follow the sampling scheme already outlined. This ensures an unbiased sample of cell components is contained in the sections and can gain access to the gold labeling system. Colloidal gold is particulate and can be quantified as a signal that represents the underlying component, and the two principal readouts of interest to cell biologists are the distribution and concentration of gold labeling. New methods have been developed to evaluate labeling distributions and labeling intensities by statistical means.

    Holocene environmental history recorded in Lake Lyadhej-To sediments, Polar Urals, Russia (2005)
    Elsevier

    Description: An 1180-cm long core recovered from Lake Lyadhej-To (68°15′ N, 65°45′ E, 150 m a.s.l.) at the NW rim of the Polar Urals Mountains reflects the Holocene environmental history from ca. 11,000 cal. yr BP. Pollen assemblages from the diamicton (ca. 11,000–10,700 cal. yr BP) are dominated by Pre-Quaternary spores and redeposited Pinaceae pollen, pointing to a high terrestrial input. Turbid and nutrient-poor conditions existed in the lake ca. 10,700–10,550 cal. yr BP. The chironomid-inferred reconstructions suggest that mean July temperature increased rapidly from 10.0 to 11.8 °C during this period. Sparse, treeless vegetation dominated on the disturbed and denuded soils in the catchment area. A distinct dominance of planktonic diatoms ca. 10,500–8800 cal. yr BP points to the lowest lake-ice coverage, the longest growing season and the highest bioproductivity during the lake history. Birch forest with some shrub alder grew around the lake reflecting the warmest climate conditions during the Holocene. Mean July temperature was likely 11–13 °C and annual precipitation—400–500 mm. The period ca. 8800–5500 cal. yr BP is characterized by a gradual deterioration of environmental conditions in the lake and lake catchment. The pollen- and chironomid-inferred temperatures reflect a warm period (ca. 6500–6000 cal. BP) with a mean July temperature at least 1–2 °C higher than today. Birch forests disappeared from the lake vicinity after 6000 cal. yr BP. The vegetation in the Lyadhej-To region became similar to the modern one. Shrub (Betula nana, Salix) and herb tundra have dominated the lake catchment since ca. 5500 cal. yr BP. All proxies suggest rather harsh environmental conditions. Diatom assemblages reflect relatively short growing seasons and a longer persistence of lake-ice ca. 5500–2500 cal. yr BP. Pollen-based climate reconstructions suggest significant cooling between ca. 5500 and 3500 cal. yr BP with a mean July temperature 8–10 °C and annual precipitation—300–400 mm. The bioproductivity in the lake remained low after 2500 cal. yr BP, but biogeochemical proxies reflect a higher terrestrial influx. Changes in the diatom content may indicate warmer water temperatures and a reduced ice cover on the lake. However, chironomid-based reconstructions reflect a period with minimal temperatures during the lake history.

    Oxygen isotope fractionation during synthesis of CaMg-carbonate and implications for sedimentary dolomite formation (2005)
    Elsevier
    In:  Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 69 . pp. 4665-4674.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-08-09
    Description: Hydrous CaMg-carbonate was synthesized at temperatures of 40 degrees, 60 degrees and 80 degrees C in the laboratory. This material has very similar mineralogical characteristics to natural disordered dolomite from the Coorong region in South Australia. Besides the dolomite variable amounts of amorphous carbonate are present in all samples. The oxygen isotope compositions of synthesized bulk carbonate samples (e.g., amorphous carbonate plus dolomite) plot significantly lower than the Northrop and Clayton (1966) dolomite-water equilibrium. Fractionated degassing of the samples, however, revealed relatively low oxygen isotope values for fast-reacting (using 100% H3PO4) amorphous carbonate. In contrast, slow-reacting dolomite has more positive oxygen isotope values, and calculated carbonate-water oxygen isotope fractionation values are close to strongest known dolomite-water oxygen isotope fractionation published earlier on. Variations of reaction/stabilization temperatures during synthesis gave evidence for dolomite formation from hypersaline solutions by a dissolution/reprecipitation process. It is likely that amorphous carbonate has been a problem in defining the dolomite-water fractionation in the past. Moreover, dolomite-associated amorphous carbonate contents probably led to incorrect speculations about lower oxygen isotope fractionation in a so-called protodolomite-water system.

    Living benthic foraminifera of the Okhotsk Sea: faunal composition, standing stocks and microhabitats (2008)
    Elsevier
    In:  Marine Micropaleontology, 69 . pp. 314-333.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-09-23
    Description: Live (Rose Bengal stained) benthic foraminifera were investigated in surface sediment samples from the Okhotsk Sea to reveal the relationship between faunal characteristics and environmental parameters. Live benthic foraminifera were quantified in the size fraction 〉 125 µm in the upper 8 cm of replicate sediment cores, recovered with a multicorer at five stations along the Sakhalin margin, and at three stations on the southwestern Kamchatka slope. The stations are from water depths between 625 to 1752 m, located close or within the present Okhotsk Sea oxygen minimum zone, with oxygen levels between 0.3 and 1.5 ml l- 1. At the high-productivity and ice-free Kamchatka stations, live benthic foraminifera are characterized by maximal standing stocks (about 1700-3700 individuals per 50 cm2), strong dominance of calcareous species (up to 87-91% of total live faunas), and maximal habitat depths (down to 5.2-6.7 cm depth). Vertical distributions of total faunal abundances exhibit a clear subsurface maximum in sediments. At the Sakhalin stations, which are seasonally ice-covered and less productive, live benthic foraminifera show lower standing stocks (about 200-1100 individuals per 50 cm2), lower abundance of calcareous species (10-64% of total live faunas), and shallower habitat depths (down to 2.5-5.4 cm depth). Faunal vertical distributions are characterized by maximum in the uppermost surface sediments. It is suggested that 1) lower and strongly seasonal organic matter flux, caused by the seasonal sea ice cover and seasonal upwelling, 2) lower bottom water oxygenation (0.3-1.1 ml l- 1), and 3) more pronounced influence of carbonate undersaturated bottom water along the Sakhalin margin are the main factors responsible for the observed faunal differences. According to species downcore distributions and average living depths, common calcareous species were identified as preferentially shallow, intermediate and deep infaunal. Foraminiferal microhabitat occupation correlates with the organic matter flux and the depth of the oxygenated layer in sediments.

    Seawater osmium isotope evidence for a middle Miocene flood basalt event in ferromanganese crust records (2008)
    Elsevier
    In:  Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 273 . pp. 175-187.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-02-09
    Description: Three ferromanganese crusts from the northeast, northwest and central Atlantic were re-dated using osmium (Os) isotope stratigraphy and yield ages from middle Miocene to the present. The three Os isotope records do not show evidence for growth hiatuses. The reconstructed Os isotope-based growth rates for the sections older than 10 Ma are higher than those determined previously by the combined beryllium isotope (10Be/9Be) and cobalt (Co) constant-flux methods, which results in a decrease in the maximum age of each crust. This re-dating does not lead to significant changes to the interpretation of previously determined radiogenic isotope neodymium, lead (Nd, Pb) time series because the variability of these isotopes was very small in the records of the three crusts prior to 10 Ma. The Os isotope record of the central Atlantic crust shows a pronounced minimum during the middle Miocene between 15 and 12 Ma, similar to a minimum previously observed in two ferromanganese crusts from the central Pacific. For the other two Atlantic crusts, the Os isotope records and their calibration to the global seawater curve for the middle Miocene are either more uncertain or too short and thus do not allow for a reliable identification of an isotopic minimum. Similar to pronounced minima reported previously for the Cretaceous/Tertiary and Eocene/Oligocene boundaries, possible interpretations for the newly identified middle Miocene Os isotope minimum include changes in weathering intensity and/or a meteorite impact coinciding with the formation of the Nördlinger Ries Crater. It is suggested that the eruption and weathering of the Columbia River flood basalts provided a significant amount of the unradiogenic Os required to produce the middle Miocene minimum.

    Size matters: How single-species management can contribute to ecosystem-based fisheries management (2008)
    Elsevier
    In:  Fisheries Research, 92 (2-3). pp. 231-241.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-01-09
    Description: In this study we show how substantial gains towards the goals of ecosystem-based fisheries management (EBFM) can be achieved by different single-species management. We show that fishing has much less impact on stocks if fish are caught after they have reached the size (Lopt) where growth rate and cohort biomass are maximum. To demonstrate our point we compare the impact of three fishing scenarios on 9 stocks from the North Sea and the Baltic. Scenario (1) is the current fishing regime, scenario (2) is a new management regime proposed by the European Commission, aiming for maximum sustainable yield obtained from all stocks, and scenario (3) is set so that it achieves the same yield as scenario (2), albeit with fishing on sizes beyond Lopt. Results show that scenarios (2) and (3) are significant improvements compared to current fishing practice. However, scenario (3) consistently shows least impact on the stocks, with seven-fold higher biomass of demersal fishes and an age structure similar to an unfished stock. This allows juveniles and adults to better fulfil their ecological roles, a major step towards the goals of ecosystem-based fisheries management. We give examples where scenario (3) is practiced in successful fisheries. We present a new interpretation of the relative yield per recruit isopleth diagram with indication of a new target area for fisheries operating within the context of EBFM. We present a new expression of the relative biomass per recruit isopleth diagram, which supports our analysis. We conclude that size matters for precautionary and ecosystem-based fisheries management and present a list of additional advantages associated with fishing at Lopt.

    Polyphase faulting during the development of the west Galicia rifted margin (2005)
    Elsevier
    In:  Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 237 (3-4). pp. 561-576.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-12-21
    Description: Rifted margins are commonly characterised by an extension discrepancy: the amount of extension measurable from the observed faulting is far less than that required to explain the crustal thinning. It is shown here that polyphase faulting may provide a simple explanation for this paradox, but can be very hard to recognise on seismic sections. However at the west Galicia rifted margin (the Galicia Interior Basin between the Galicia Bank and the mainland, and the deep Galicia margin to the west of the Galicia Bank), a combination of high quality depth images, seismic velocity information and stratigraphic control through ODP drilling and submersible sampling, provide complementary evidence for polyphase faulting. Berriasian–Hauterivian rifting in the Galicia Interior Basin occurred along two sets of faults: the first unroofed deep crustal rocks, evidenced by high seismic velocities close to top basement; the second cut and dismembered these early faults. Further rifting (up until the Aptian) then focussed west of the Galicia Bank, where two further phases of faulting can be inferred from the diachronous nature of seismostratigraphic units tilted within fault blocks. Removal of the latest phase of faulting aligns discontinuous reflections within the fault blocks into an anastomosing network of earlier faults; restoration along these brings the crust back to its early Hauterivian state, similar to the present structure of the Interior Basin.

    History of freshwater runoff across the Laptev Sea (Arctic) during the last deglaciation (2005)
    Elsevier
    In:  Global and Planetary Change, 48 (1-3). pp. 187-207.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-09-13
    Description: Sediment core PS2458 from the Laptev Sea continental margin (983-m water depth) stems from a position close to the paleoriver mouth of Lena and Yana rivers. It was dated by AMS-14C and analyzed in high resolution for oxygen isotopes of planktic foraminifers. Except the uppermost 100 cm and possibly the lowermost meter of the 8-m-long core, the sediments were deposited during the last deglaciation (14.5–8.0 cal-ka). According to 210Pb data, the uppermost 100 cm represents only the last 200 years. Planktic foraminifers are present throughout the dated deglacial interval, with the exception of a short time after ca. 13 cal-ka. Taking into account the global “ice volume effect” on the oxygen isotopic composition of the foraminifers, the isotopic record is considered to reflect salinity changes which were influenced by variable freshwater runoff and a growing marine influence during the postglacial transgression of the Laptev Sea shelf. The most conspicuous feature in the isotopic record is an outstanding peak dated to ca. 13 cal-ka. It is proposed that it represents a rapid outburst of large amounts of freshwater, possibly from an ice-dammed lake in the hinterland. Possible correlations to the onset of the cool Younger Dryas event in the northern hemisphere are discussed.

    Removal and bioaccumulation of anthropogenic, halogenated transient tracers in an anoxic fjord (2005)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-08-22
    Description: The persistence of the anthropogenic halogenated tracers, CFC-11 (CCl3F), CFC-12 (CCl2F2), CFC-113 (CCl2FCClF2), carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) and methyl chloroform (CH3CCl3) in oxygen-depleted waters was investigated in the anoxic fjord Framvaren in southern Norway. A model for the ventilation of the water in the fjord was created based on tritium and CFC-12 profiles. The results suggest that CFC-12 is stable in this environment, although still affected by particulate scavenging, while the other four halocarbon species shows signs of significant removal in the oxic/anoxic interface. The first-order removal coefficients were calculated to be 0.35, 0.19, 1.23 and 0.31 year−1 for CFC-11, CFC-113, CCl4 and CH3CCl3, respectively. Significant downward flux of halogenated tracers by sinking organic matter is suggested by the model; the tracers are subsequently released to the water column by the remineralisation of the particles. This process acts as a sink of halogenated tracers in the surface waters, whereas it is a source for the deep waters. Our results points to bioaccumulation factors (BF) for the CFC tracers in the order of 4.4–5.4 (log BF), which is 100–600 times those previously reported. This might be of significance to near-shore, semi-enclosed, basins with a high flux of organic matter, but would still have little importance in open ocean basins.

    Estimating sea-ice coverage, draft, and velocity in Marguerite Bay (Antarctica) using a subsurface moored upward-looking acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) (2008)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-08-05
    Description: A technique for the analysis of data from a subsurface moored upward-looking acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) to determine ice coverage, draft and velocity is presented and applied to data collected in Marguerite Bay on the western Antarctic Peninsula shelf. This method provides sea-ice information when no dedicated upward-looking sonar (ULS) data are available. Ice detection is accomplished using windowed variances of ADCP vertical velocity, vertical error velocity, and surface horizontal speed. ADCP signal correlation and backscatter intensity were poor indicators of the presence of ice at this site. Ice draft is estimated using a combination of ADCP backscatter data, atmospheric and oceanic pressure data, and information about the thermal stratification. This estimate requires corrections to the ADCP-derived range for instrument tilt and sound speed profile. Uncertainties of ±0.20 m during midwinter and ±0.40 m when the base of the surface mixed layer is above the ADCP for ice draft are estimated based on: (a) a Monte Carlo simulation, (b) uncertainty in the sound speed correction, and (c) performance of the zero-draft estimate during times of known open water. Ice velocity is taken as the ADCP horizontal velocity in the depth bin specified by the range estimate.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-09-23
    Description: Segmentation along convergent margins controls earthquake magnitude and location, but the physical causes of segment boundaries, and their impact on earthquake rupture dynamics, are still poorly understood. One aspect of the 2004 and 2005 great Sumatra–Andaman earthquakes is their abrupt termination along a common boundary. This has led to speculation on the nature of the boundary, its origin and why it was not breached. For the first time the boundary has been imaged and, with newly acquired marine geophysical data, we demonstrate that a ridge on the subducting Indo-Australian oceanic crust may exert a control on margin segmentation. This suggests a lower plate influence on margin structure, particularly its segmentation. The ridge is masked by the sedimentary cover in the trench. Its most likely trend is NNE–SSW. It is interpreted as a fracture zone on the subducting oceanic plate. A ramp or tear along the eastern flank of the subducting fracture zone beneath Simeulue Island may be considered as an intensification factor in terms of rupture propagation barrier.

    Objective analyses of hydrographic data for referencing profiling float salinities in highly variable environments (2005)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-08-05
    Description: The development of a broad-scale array of about 3000 autonomous profiling floats, known as Argo, has been underway since 2000. This array will deliver up to 100,000 vertical profiles of temperature, salinity and other parameters from the surface to depths up to 2000 m. While floats are expected to give good measurements of temperature and pressure, salinity measurements sometimes show significant sensor drift with time or offsets. Unless a float is recovered before the battery fails, recalibrations cannot be performed and a remote calibration method is required. Such a quality control system has been set up for the North Atlantic to identify and correct salinity sensor drifts by using historical hydrographic data. An objective mapping method is used that takes the spatial and temporal variations in water mass properties into account. These scales aim to represent the hydrographic structure of the North Atlantic, which follow the large-scale contours of the potential vorticity. The float measurements of each profile are compared to the mapped salinities in potential conductivity space by weighted least-squares, giving one correction for each profile. It is assumed that any conductivity offset changes slowly over time, so that a linear fit of the profile based corrections over the float time series is done. The result is a set of calibrated salinity data with corresponding uncertainties.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-01-24
    Description: The saltwater culture of a Penicillium chrysogenum strain isolated from the Mediterranean sponge Ircinia fasciculata yielded three new sorbicillin-derived compounds (1-3), whose structures were elucidated mainly by 2D NMR and mass spectrometry. Among them, sorbicillactones A (1) and B (2) are the first sorbicillinoid natural products that contain nitrogen. Compound 1 is anti-HIV active and it exhibits a strong cytotoxic activity against L5178y leukemic cells, combined with a relatively low toxicity to cervical carcinoma HeLa S3 cells and pheochromocytoma PC 12 cells. The absolute configurations of I and 2 were elucidated by quantum chemical calculation of circular dichroism (CD) spectra. Another compound isolated, sorbivinetone (3), might be an artifact derived from sorbicillinol (4) by Diels-Alder reaction with ethyl vinyl ether. Furthermore, the known sorbicillinoid fungal metabolites oxosorbicillinol (5), sorbicillin (6), and bisvertinolone (7) were identified, as well as the alkaloids meleagrine and roquefortine C. The biosynthetic origin of sorbicillactone A (1) from acetate, alanine, and methionine was investigated by feeding experiments with C-13-labeled precursors

    Differing controls over the Cenozoic Pb and Nd isotope evolution of deepwater in the central North Pacific Ocean (2005)
    Elsevier
    In:  Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 232 . pp. 345-361.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-12-21
    Description: Dissolved Pb and Nd isotope ratios of seawater, as recorded by chemical marine precipitates such as hydrogenetic ferromanganese crusts, have been used as paleoenvironmental proxy tracers. For the North Pacific, however, all ferromanganese crusts studied so far have either been subject to phosphatization or hydrothermal influence in their old part, or only the young parts have been analyzed. Thus, the Pb and Nd isotope compositions of North Pacific deep waters prior to ∼20 Ma are not well constrained. We present new results for three ferromanganese crusts, one of which (CJ01) shows no phosphatization and is located far away from the EPR. Its age is inferred to be ∼75 Ma and thus provides for the first time an opportunity to trace the Nd and Pb isotope evolution of central North Pacific seawater back to the latest Cretaceous. The three crusts, no matter whether phosphatized or not, display very similar Pb and Nd isotope trends with age, suggesting no modification of the Pb and Nd isotope distribution by post-depositional phosphatization. Our data suggest that dissolved Pb in deep waters of the central North Pacific over the Cenozoic and latest Cretaceous has mainly been derived from eolian dust and only to a minor extent from weathering of island arcs. For Pb these trends broadly resemble the Pb isotope evolution of the eolian silicate dust fraction of core LL44-GPC3 in the central North Pacific. We suggest that the isotope evolution of dissolved Pb in central North Pacific seawater has been mainly controlled by Pb released from eolian dust from North America prior to 50 Ma and after 40 Ma from Asia. In contrast, the Nd isotope time series of the crusts are by no means similar to the Nd isotope evolution of the silicate dust fraction in core GPC3, suggesting a decoupling from the Pb and negligible contributions from dust to the dissolved Nd in the central North Pacific deep water. The rise of Nd isotope ratios of Pacific seawater during the Cenozoic has most likely been caused by the increasing volcanic activity and erosion of the volcanic arcs around the Pacific.

    Growth and erosion of a cold-water coral covered carbonate mound in the Northeast Atlantic during the Late Pleistocene and Holocene (2005)

    Publication Date: 2016-12-21
    Description: The first detailed stratigraphic record from a deep-water carbonate mound in the Northeast Atlantic based on absolute datings (U/Th and AMS 14C) and stable oxygen isotope records reveals that its top sediment sequences are condensed by numerous hiatuses. According to stable isotope data, mainly sediments with an intermediate signal are preserved on the mound, while almost all fully glacial and interglacial sediments have either not been deposited or have been eroded later. The resulting hiatuses reduce the Late Pleistocene sediment accumulation at Propeller Mound to amounts smaller than the background sedimentation. The hiatuses most likely result due to the sweeping of the mound in turn with the re-establishment of vigour interglacial circulation patterns after sluggish current regimes during glacials. Thus, within the discussion if internal, fluid-driven or external environmentally driven processes control the evolution of such carbonate mounds, our findings for Propeller Mound clearly point to environmental forcing as the dominant mechanism shaping deep-water carbonate mounds in the NE Atlantic during the Late Pleistocene and Holocene

    Description: Mg/Ca and Sr/Ca ratios were determined on a single species of planktonic foraminiferan, Globigerinoides ruber (white), collected from the Gulf of Eilat and cultured in seawater at five different salinities (32 to 44), five temperatures (18 to 30 °C) and four pH values (7.9 to 8.4). The Mg/Ca-temperature calibration of cultured G. ruber (with an exponential slope of 8 ± 3%/°C) agrees well with previously published calibrations from core-tops and sediment traps. However, the dependence of Mg/Ca on salinity (with an exponential slope of 5 ± 3%/psu) is also significant and should be included in the calibration equation. With this purpose, we calculated a calibration equation for G. ruber dependent on both temperature and salinity within the 95% confidence limits: Mg/Ca(mmol/mol)=exp[0.06(±0.02)*S(psu)+0.08(±0.02)*T(°C)−2.8(±1.0)],R2=0.95 The influence of pH on Mg/Ca ratios is negligible at ambient seawater pH (8.1 to 8.3). However, we observe a dominating pH control on shell Mg/Ca when the pH of seawater is lower than 8.0. Sr/Ca in G. ruber shows a significant positive correlation with average growth rate. Presumably, part of the variability in shell Sr/Ca in the geological record is linked to changes in growth rates of foraminifera as a response to changing environmental conditions.

    IEX-1 directly interferes with RelA/p65 dependent transactivation and regulation of apoptosis (2008)

    Description: The early response gene IEX-1 plays a complex role in the regulation of apoptosis. Depending on the cellular context and the apoptotic stimulus, IEX-1 is capable to either enhance or suppress apoptosis. To further dissect the molecular mechanisms involved in the modulation of apoptosis by IEX-1, we analysed the molecular crosstalk between IEX-1 and the NF-kappa B pathway. Using GST-pulldown assays, a direct interaction of IEX-1 with the C-terminal region of the subunit RelA/p65 harbouring the transactivation domain of the NF-kappa B transcription factor was shown. This interaction negatively regulates RelA/p65 dependent transactivation as shown by GAL4-and luciferase assay and was confirmed for the endogenous proteins by co-immunoprecipitation experiments. Using deletion constructs, we were able to map the C-terminal region of IEX-1 as the critical determinant of the interaction with RelA/p65. We could further show, that IEX-1 mediated NF-kappa B inhibition accounts for the reduced expression of the anti-apoptotic NF-kappa B target genes Bc1-2, Bcl-xL, cIAP1 and cIAP2, thereby sensitizing cells for apoptotic stimuli. Finally, ChIP-assays revealed that IEX-1 associates with the promoter of these genes. Altogether, our findings suggest a critical role of IEX-1 in the NF-kappa B dependent regulation of apoptotic responses. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V All rights reserved.

    Advection and scavenging: Effects on 230Th and 231Pa distribution off Southwest Africa (2008)

    Description: We investigated the controls of hydrography and of scavenging on the distribution of the particle reactive radionuclides 231Pa and 230Th in the water column and in surface sediments off Southwest Africa (Angola and Cape basins). Based on a vertical section of total 230Thex concentrations in the water column we show that small differences in the salinity between the North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) in the Angola Basin and the NADW in the Cape Basin as well as the advection of NADW associated with the Namib Col Current are reflected in total 230Thex concentrations. These variable total concentrations are believed to reflect the flow path and mixing history of NADW with the NADW in the Angola Basin being relatively older and 230Th enriched compared to the NADW in the Cape Basin. In the area investigated we found high 231Paex/230Thex ratios (231Paex/230Thex 〉 0.093) in surface sediments at the continental margin and lower ones (231Paex/230Thex 〈 0.093) in the open ocean. Such a distribution is normally interpreted to result from high particle flux at ocean margins (boundary scavenging). However, the lack of any significant depletion of dissolved 230Th and 231Pa in the water column does not indicate extensive scavenging at the continental margin. High 231Paex/230Thex ratios are constrained to shallow waters depths (〈 2000 m) only and coincide with low fractionation between 231Pa and 230Th indicating that preferential scavenging of 231Pa on opal may have caused high 231Paex/230Thex ratios in the sediments. The observed close negative correlation (r2 = 0.82) between 231Paex/230Thex ratios in sediments and water depths is believed to reflect changes in the particle composition, i.e. a decrease in opal content with water depth. In the Angola and Cape basins the total 231Paex concentrations in NADW were the highest observed so far in the Atlantic Ocean, and they are attributed to the meridional export of 231Pa from the North Atlantic. This caused the average dissolved 231Pa/230Th in the Southeast Atlantic to be about a factor 2 higher when compared to the North Atlantic (Labrador Sea). These differences in the dissolved 231Pa/230Th were not reflected in 231Pa/230Th ratios of surface sediments because the fractionation is lower in the Labrador Sea compared to the Southeast Atlantic, i.e. fractionation counteracts changes in the dissolved 231Pa/230Th. This suggests that fractionation is more important for the determination of 231Paex/230Thex ratios in sediments than the meridional export of 231Pa from the North Atlantic.

    Description: The main Marmara Fault exhibits numerous sites of fluid venting, observed during previous cruises and in particular with R.O.V. VICTOR during the MARMARASCARPS cruise (2002). Long CALYPSO cores were recovered near active vents and at reference sites during the MARMARA-VT cruise (2004), together with echosounder sub-bottom profiles (frequency of 3.5kHz). We compiled R.O.V. video observations from MARMARASCARPS cruise and show that all known seeps occur in relationship with strike-slip faults, providing pathways for fluid migration. Among the main active sites, a distinction is made between gas seeps and water seeps. At gas seeps, bubble emissions at the seafloor or disturbed echofacies on sounder profiles demonstrate the presence of free methane gas at a shallow depth within the sediment. Most cores displayed gas-related expansion, most intense for cores taken within the gas plumes. On the other hand. authigenic carbonate chimneys characterize the water seeps and visible water outflow was observed at two sites (in the Tekirdag and Central basins). The pore fluid chemistry data show that the water expelled at these sites is brackish water trapped in the sediment during lacustrine times (before 14 cal kyr BP), in relation with the paleoceanography in the Sea of Marmara. The chimney site in the Tekirdag Basin is located at the outlet of a canyon feeding a buried fan with coarse sandy turbidites. Pore fluid composition profiles indicate that the sand layers channel the brackish fluids laterally from the basin into the fault zone at less than 20 m depth. However, a deeper gas source cannot be excluded. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    Description: Cephalopods are the largest, most active invertebrates and there is considerable evidence for their convergent evolution with fishes. However, most active cephalopods display standard and active metabolic rates that are several-fold higher than comparably sized fishes. Shifting habitat temperatures due to climate change will therefore affect a cephalopods energy metabolism much more than that of a fish. Prediction of the probable outcome of cephalopod-fish competition thus requires quantitative information concerning whole animal energetics and corresponding efficiencies. Migrating cephalopods such as squid and cuttlefish grow rapidly to maturity, carry few food reserves and have little overlap of generations. This "live fast, die young" life history strategy means that they require niches capable of sustaining high power requirements and rapid growth. This presentation aims to draw a bottom-up picture of the cellular basis of energy metabolism of the cuttlefish Sepia officinalis, from its molecular basis to whole animal energetics based on laboratory experiments and field data. We assessed the proportionality of standard vs active metabolic rate and the daily energetic requirements using field tracking data in combination with lab based respirometry and video analysis. Effects of environmental temperature on mitochondrial energy coupling were investigated in whole animals using in vivo 31P-NMR spectroscopy. As efficient energy turnover needs sufficient oxygen supply, also thermal effects on the blood oxygen-binding capacities of the respiratory pigment haemocyanin and the differential expression of its isoforms were investigated.Supported by NERC grant NERC/A/S/2002/00812.

    Mineralogical and chemical mass changes in mafic and ultramafic rocks from the Logatchev hydrothermal field (MAR 15°N) (2008)
    Elsevier
    In:  Marine Geology, 256 (1/4). pp. 18-29.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-08-04
    Description: Mineralogical and geochemical investigation of altered host rock samples from the Logatchev hydrothermal field reveal a large variety of alteration styles at this site. Serpentinization is most intense in former harzburgites and dunites varying between 90-95%, whereas gabbros are mostly rather fresh. A combination of serpentinization, interaction with hot hydrothermal fluids, melt/rock interaction, and low-temperature seafloor weathering lead to significant gains and losses of major and trace elements. Serpentinization within the Logatchev hydrothermal field proceeds mainly isochemical for the major elements, except for a loss of TiO2 and CaO. However, the concentration of the trace elements Cu, Nb, Ba, La, Sm, Eu, Th or U increases significantly in the serpentinites. Gabbroic intrusions act as a sink for MgO during alteration due to the formation of chlorite and serpentine after clinopyroxene. Interaction between gabbros and hydrothermal fluids leads to significant redistribution of SiO2, TiO2, CaO, and Na2O as well as numerous trace elements. The different styles of alteration and their associated element changes reveal that samples from the entire Logatchev field have been influenced by hydrothermal fluids to some degree. Therefore, the hydrothermal fluid-dominated alteration of the ultramafic oceanic crust is a sink for many trace elements which were provided by mafic intrusions and mobilized by hydrothermal fluids and melt-rock interaction, whereas the gabbros accumulate high amounts of Mg from the seawater. Summarized the alteration processes at Logatchev are a combination of serpentinization, melt/rock interaction of serpentinites and mafic intrusions, and low-temperature seafloor weathering.

    Intercalibration of benthic flux chambers II. Hydrodynamic characterization and flux comparisons of 14 different designs (2005)

    Details

    Description: We have compared 14 different sediment incubation chambers, most of them were used on bottom landers. Measurements of mixing time, pressure gradients at the bottom and Diffusive Boundary Layer thickness (DBL) were used to describe the hydrodynamic properties of the chambers and sediment–water solute fluxes of silicate (34 replicates) and oxygen (23 replicates) during three subsequently repeated incubation experiments on a homogenized, macrofauna-free sediment. The silicate fluxes ranged from 0.24 to 1.01 mmol m−2 day−1 and the oxygen fluxes from 9.3 to 22.6 mmol m−2 day−1. There was no statistically significant correlation between measured fluxes and the chamber design or between measured fluxes and hydrodynamic settings suggesting that type of chamber was not important in these flux measurements. For verification of sediment homogeneity, 61 samples of meiofauna were taken and identified to major taxa. In addition, 13 sediment cores were collected, sectioned into 5–10-mm slices and separated into pore water and solid phase. The pore water profiles of dissolved silicate were used to calculate diffusive fluxes of silicate. These fluxes ranged from 0.63 to 0.87 mmol m−2 day−1. All of the collected sediment parameters indicated that the sediment homogenization process had been satisfactorily accomplished. Hydrodynamic variations inside and between chambers are a reflection of the chamber design and the stirring device. In general, pump stirrers with diffusers give a more even distribution of bottom currents and DBL thicknesses than paddle wheel-type stirrers. Most chambers display no or low static differential pressures when the water is mixed at rates of normal use. Consequently, there is a low risk of creating stirrer induced pressure effects on the measured fluxes. Centrally placed stirrers are preferable to off-center placed stirrers which are more difficult to map and do not seem to give any hydrodynamic advantages. A vertically rotating stirrer gives about five times lower static differential pressures at the same stirring speed as the same stirrer mounted horizontally. If the aim is to simulate or mimic resuspension at high flow velocities, it cannot be satisfactorily done in a chamber using a horizontal (standing) rotating impeller (as is the case for most chambers in use) due to the creation of unnatural conditions, i.e. large static differential pressures and pre-mature resuspension at certain locations in the chamber.

    Plume-ridge interaction studied at the Galápagos spreading center: Evidence from 226Ra-230Th-238U and 231Pa-235U isotopic disequilibria (2005)

    Description: New 238U–230Th–226Ra and 231Pa–235U disequilibria data measured by TIMS are presented for ridge-centered MORB glasses dredged during the R/V Sonne 158 cruise at the Galápagos or Cocos-Nazca Spreading Center (GSC) between 86.0°W and 92.3°W. The application of U-series isotopes to the GSC region, situated a few hundred kilometres to the north of the Galápagos hotspot, allows assessment of fundamental questions related to the dynamics of plume–ridge interaction. These include (1) the relationship between long-lived source variations, U-series disequilibria and extent of differentiation, (2) partial melting during solid upwelling, and (3) the nature and rates of plume–ridge mass transfer. The along axis U-series disequilibria variation show gradational patterns that locally are correlated with geochemical and isotopic parameters such as La/Sm, Tb/Yb, 206Pb/204Pb and 143Nd/144Nd as well as major element compositions. The correlation of (230Th)/(238U) with radiogenic isotopes and Tb/Yb provides constraints on the plume source influence on the melting process, reflecting an increase in the amount of melting at depth in the presence of garnet or aluminous clinopyroxene. Moreover, the correlation between U-series signatures, radiogenic isotopes, incompatible element abundance and MgO content indicates a causative relationship between the melting of plume source materials and how these lavas differentiate at shallow depths. We speculate that this involves loss of alkalis from ascending melts to shallow peridotite and crustal gabbro, resulting in increased olivine fractionation from the magmas. The U-series data place stringent constraints on the timing of plume–ridge mass transfer and thus distinguish whether mass transfer occurs by movement of melts or solid mantle. Within the likely conditions proposed by the model of (Braun and Sohn [EPSL 213 (2003): 417–430] and with knowledge of (231Pa)/(235U) and (230Th)/(238U) observed in Galápagos Islands lavas [A. Saal, personal communication], we show that all 226Ra excess will be lost and the initial 231Pa and 230Th excesses will be largely decayed. Therefore, we conclude that the plume influence on the GSC lavas results from a solid mantle flow process instead of through migration of plume-derived melts to the ridge.

    Description: A mechanism is advanced for explaining the Antarctic warm events from 90 to 30ka BP which involves meltwater-induced changes in the salinity gradient across the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) and consequent changes in the poleward heat transport by ocean eddies. Based on simple linear scale analysis, the mechanism is shown to yield warming in the Antarctic interior of roughly the magnitude seen in Antarctic ice-core records (∼2 °C) in response to ice discharges into the North Atlantic. Consistent with observations, the mechanism produces gradual Antarctic warming and cooling, as dictated by the time required for salinity anomalies to build up and dissipate across the ACC. The mechanism also allows the onset of warming or cooling to be tied to changes in Atlantic overturning, which is relevant here, not for influencing ocean heat transport directly, but for influencing the routing of meltwater from the North Atlantic into the Southern Ocean. The ideas presented here highlight the possibility that eddy processes in the ocean may play a first-order role in aspects of climate variability on millennial time scales.

    Description: Plankton ecosystems in the North Atlantic display strong regional and interannual variability in productivity and trophic structure, which cannot be captured by simple plankton models. Additional compartments subdividing functional groups can increase predictive power, but the high number of parameters tends to compromise portability and robustness of model predictions. An alternative strategy is to use property state variables, such as cell size, normally considered constant parameters in ecosystem models, to define the structure of functional groups in terms of both behaviour and response to physical forcing. This strategy may allow us to simulate realistically regional and temporal differences among plankton communities while keeping model complexity at a minimum. We fit a model of plankton and DOM dynamics globally and individually to observed climatologies at three diverse locations in the North Atlantic. Introducing additional property state variables is shown to improve the model fit both locally and globally, make the model more portable, and help identify model deficiencies. The zooplankton formulation exerts strong control on model performance. Our results suggest that the current paradigm on zooplankton allometric functional relationships might be at odds with observed plankton dynamics. Our parameter estimation resulted in more realistic estimates of parameters important for primary production than previous data assimilation studies. Property state variables generate complex emergent functional relationships, and might be used like tracers to differentiate between locally produced and advected biomass. The model results suggest that the observed temperature dependence of heterotrophic growth efficiency [Rivkin, R.B., Legendre, L., 2001. Biogenic carbon cycling in the upper ocean: effects of microbial respiration. Science 291 (5512) 2398–2400] could be an emergent relation due to intercorrelations among temperature, nutrient concentration and growth efficiency. A major advantage of using property state variables is that no additional parameters are required, such that differences in model performance can be directly related to model structure rather than parameter tuning.

    Description: Sponges are the most basal metazoan organisms. As sessile filter feeders in marine or freshwater habitats, they often live in close association with phototrophic microorganisms. Active photosynthesis by the associated microorganisms has been believed to be restricted to the outer tissue portion of the sponge hosts. However, phototrophic microorganisms have also been detected in deeper tissue regions. In many cases they are found around spicules, siliceous skelettal elements of demosponges and hexactinellids. The finding of phototrophic organisms seemingly assembled around spicules led to the hypothesis of a siliceous light transmission system in sponges. The principle ability to conduct light was already shown for sponge derived, explanted spicules. However it was not shown until now, that in deed sponges have a light transmission system, and can harbour photosynthetically active microorganisms in deeper tissue regions. Here we show for the first time, that, as hypothesized 13 year ago, sponge spicules in living specimens transmit light into deeper tissue regions. Our results demonstrate that in opposite to the actual opinion, photosynthetically active microorganisms can also live in deeper tissue regions, and not only directly beneath the surface, when a light transmission system (spicules) is present. Our results show the possibility of massive or globular sponges being supplied with photosynthetic products or pathways throughout their whole body, implying not only a more important role of these endobioses. Our findings also elucidate the in-situ function of a recently more and more interesting biomaterial, which is unique not only for its mechanical, electrical and optical properties. Biosilica is of special interest for the possibility to produce it enzymatically under environmental conditions.

    Inter-annual stability of oligopeptide patterns of Planktothrix rubescens blooms and mass mortality of Daphnia in Lake Hallwilersee (2008)

    Description: During mass developments of Planktothrix rubescens, the biomass of this cyanobacterium was collected over a period of four consecutive years (2002–2005) from Lake Hallwilersee, Switzerland. To avoid any shifts in analytical separation and sensitivity, the biomasses were extracted with 60% aqueous methanol at the end of the investigation period and were analysed within 1 week by LC-ESMS. A new mass spectrometric method to quantify oligopeptides was introduced. The sum of all major molecular species (quasi-molecular ion, double charged ion, adducts, dimers and molecular ions that had lost a water molecule) rather than just the signal of the quasi-molecular ion was used to determine the total abundance of oligopeptides. This procedure has become necessary because the variable presence of inorganic ions and the varying conditions of the mass spectrometric source strongly affect the formation of the different molecular species. Several anabaenopeptins, oscillapeptins and planktocyclins were found. [Asp3, Dhb7]microcystin-RR was the major microcystin. The oligopeptide patterns were relatively stable over the investigation period of 4 years. In June 2005, a mass mortality of Daphnia was observed. The dead Daphnia, which floated on the surface of the lake, were collected and analysed for oligopeptides. Planktocyclin and planktocyclin sulfoxide, which belong to the major cyclic peptides in P. rubescens, were found in the carcasses of Daphnia, but microcystins were missing. Live zooplankton of the epilimnion was represented by both Daphnia and copepods, while the patches of dead zooplankter on the lake surface were free of copepods and contained only Daphnia. Protease inhibitors rather than microcystins are discussed as the major bioactive compounds for grazer defence of P. rubescens.

    Is the initiation of glaciation on Antarctica related to a change in the structure of the ocean? (2005)

    Description: Today, the ocean is characterized by pools of warm tropical–subtropical water bounded poleward and at depth by cold water. In the tropics and subtropics, the warm waters are floored at depth by the thermocline–pycnocline, which crops out on the ocean surface between the subtropical and polar frontal systems that form the poleward boundary. It is along and between the frontal systems that the thermocline waters enter the ocean interior. These frontal systems form beneath the maxima of the zonal component of the westerly winds. Today, the location of the westerly winds is stabilized by the persistent high-pressure systems at the polar regions produced by the ice cover of the Antarctic and sea-ice cover of the Arctic. The paleobiogeographic distribution of plankton fossils indicates that, prior to the Oligocene, the subtropical and polar frontal systems were not persistent features. Recent climate model experiments show that without perennial ice cover in the polar regions a seasonal alternation between high and low atmospheric pressure systems can occur. These seasonal alternations would force major changes in the location and strength of the westerly winds, preventing the development of the well-defined frontal systems that characterize the Earth today. Without the subtropical and polar frontal systems, the thermocline would be less well developed and the pycnocline could be dominated by salinity differences. Evidence from ocean drilling suggests that the glaciation of East Antarctica began at the Eocene–Oligocene boundary, but took time to spread over the entire continent. The presence of calcareous nannoplankton in the Arctic basin prior to the Oligocene and their absence thereafter suggests that the ice cover of the Arctic Ocean also developed at the Eocene–Oligocene boundary. Both events appear to be related to the development of the modern oceanic structure, but it remains uncertain whether the ocean changed in response to the development of ice covered polar regions or vice versa.

    Description: Macroalgae possess different defense mechanisms in response to herbivory. Some species produce anti-herbivore secondary metabolites, but production of these substances can be costly. Therefore, algae may produce defensive metabolites only in response to herbivory (inducible defense) or defend particular parts of the alga differentially (within-alga variation). In the present study, we examined whether two species of brown algae from the SE-Pacific show evidence of inducible chemical defense (non-polar compounds) or within-alga variation of defense, which we estimated in form of palatability of differently treated algae to amphipod grazers (with live algae and agar-based food containing non-polar algal extracts). In Glossophora kunthii (C. Agardh) J. Agardh, we observed an increase in palatability after algae were acclimated for 12 days without grazers. Subsequent addition of grazers for 12 days then resulted in a reduction of palatability indicating the existence of inducible defense. After removal of grazers for 12 days, these induced effects again disappeared. The reaction of G. kunthii was triggered even by the mere presence of grazers, which suggests that this alga can respond to waterborne cues by reducing palatability. Effects were only found for agar-based food containing non-polar extracts, but not for live algae, suggesting that some parts of the algae are undefended. Our second experiment on within-alga variation confirmed that only apical (growth region) and basal parts (near the holdfast region) of G. kunthii are defended against herbivores. For the second species, Macrocystis integrifolia Bory, the first experiment revealed no induction of defense, while the second experiment on within-alga variation showed that amphipods avoided basal parts and in particular stipes of M. integrifolia but only in live algae. Although both studied algal species differed substantially in their defensive strategies, their reaction was independent of the presence or absence of UV radiation. Thus, it appears that UV effects play only a minor role in anti-herbivore defense, which is in accordance with most previous studies.

    Description: Offshore Ecuador, the Carnegie Ridge is a volcanic ridge with a carbonate sediment drape. During the SALIERI Cruise, multibeam bathymetry was collected across Carnegie Ridge with the Simrad EM120 of the R/V SONNE. The most conspicuous features discovered on the Carnegie Ridge are fields of circular closed depressions widely distributed along the mid-slope of the northern and southern flanks of the ridge between 1500 and 2600 m water depth. These circular depressions are 1–4 km wide and typically 100–400 m deep. Most are flat floored and some are so densely packed that they form a honeycomb pattern. The depressions were carved into the ridge sedimentary blanket, which consists of carbonate sediment and has been dated from upper Miocene to upper Pleistocene. Several hypotheses including pockmark origin, sediment creeping, paleo-topography of the volcanic basement, effects of subbottom currents, and both marine and subaerial karstic origins are discussed. We believe that underwater dissolution process merits the most serious consideration regarding the origin of the closed depression.

    Thermodynamic and kinetic control on anaerobic oxidation of methane in marine sediments (2008)

    Description: The free energy yield of microbial respiration reactions in anaerobic marine sediments must be sufficient to be conserved as biologically usable energy in the form of ATP. Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) coupled to sulfate reduction (SRR) has a very low standard free energy yield of ΔG∘ = −33 kJ mol−1, but the in situ energy yield strongly depends on the concentrations of substrates and products in the pore water of the sediment. In this work ΔG for the AOM–SRR process was calculated from the pore water concentrations of methane, sulfate, sulfide, and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) in sediment cores from different sites of the European continental margin in order to determine the influence of thermodynamic regulation on the activity and distribution of microorganisms mediating AOM–SRR. In the zone of methane and sulfate coexistence, the methane-sulfate transition zone (SMTZ), the energy yield was rarely less than −20 kJ mol−1 and was mostly rather constant throughout this zone. The kinetic drive was highest at the lower part of the SMTZ, matching the occurrence of maximum AOM rates. The results show that the location of maximum AOM rates is determined by a combination of thermodynamic and kinetic drive, whereas the rate activity mainly depends on kinetic regulation.

    Publication Date: 2019-09-23
    Description: The Cape Verde Islands are located on a mid-plate topographic swell and are thought to have formed above a deep mantle plume. Wide-angle seismic data have been used to determine the crustal and uppermost mantle structure along a ~ 440 km long transect of the archipelago. Modelling shows that ‘normal’ oceanic crust, ~ 7 km in thickness, exists between the islands and is gently flexed due to volcano loading. There is no direct evidence for high density bodies in the lower crust or for an anomalously low density upper mantle. The observed flexure and free-air gravity anomaly can be explained by volcano loading of a plate with an effective elastic thickness of 30 km and a load and infill density of 2600 kg m− 3. The origin of the Cape Verde swell is poorly understood. An elastic thickness of 30 km is expected for the ~ 125 Ma old oceanic lithosphere beneath the islands, suggesting that the observed height of the swell and the elevated heat flow cannot be attributed to thermal reheating of the lithosphere. The lack of evidence for high densities and velocities in the lower crust and low densities and velocities in the upper mantle, suggests that neither a crustal underplate or a depleted swell root are the cause of the shallower than expected bathymetry and that, instead, the swell is supported by dynamic uplift associated with the underlying plume.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-12-01
    Description: Historical data analyses show that the Lena River and its major tributaries experienced an extended low water period over 1936–1957 and high water periods over 1974–1983 and 1988–2001. Higher than normal river discharge and annual precipitation is particularly pronounced since the late 1960s due to large-scale changes in atmospheric circulation patterns. The trend in runoff observed in the Lena River basin increased by 10% from 1936 to 2001 due to extended wet periods during the second part of last century. The trend is weakened for the Vilui River basin since it experiences reservoir regulation, which causes additional water losses through reservoir filling and increased evaporation. Runoff regulation strongly affects the winter runoff regime of both the Vilui River and the lower reaches of the Lena River causing an increased winter discharge at the Lena river outlet station of approximately 33%.

    The turbidity maximum zone of the Yenisei River (Siberia) and its impact on organic and inorganic proxies (2005)

    In:  Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 65 (1-2). pp. 61-73.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2015-01-30
    Description: A general overview of the processes taking place in the summer mixing zone of the fresh Yenisei River water with the marine waters of the Kara Sea is given in this study, with special emphasis on the interaction between bulk (total suspended matter), inorganic (Fe, Mn) and organic (suspended organic carbon, suspended nitrogen) proxies. Within the mixing zone, a zone of enhanced turbidity (maximum turbidity zone) was observed comparable to studies in other rivers. Flocculation of particles due to changes in salinity and hydrography cause this maximum turbidity zone, and resuspension additionally enhances the turbidity in the near-bottom layers. Organic matter behaves conservatively in the mixing zone in terms of its percentage of suspended matter. It, however, undergoes degradation as revealed by amino acid data. Inorganic, redox- and salinity-sensitive, proxies (Mn, Fe) behave non-conservatively. Dissolved iron is removed at low salinities (〈2) due to precipitation of iron oxyhydroxides and adsorption of manganese on suspended particles, enhancing the Mn/Al ratio of the suspended matter in the same zone. At higher salinities within the mixing zone, Fe/Al and Mn/Al ratios of the suspended particles are depleted due to resuspension of sediment with lower Fe/Al and Mn/Al ratios. Dissolved manganese concentrations are significantly higher in the near-bottom layers of the mixing zone due to release from the anoxic sediment. All things considered, the Yenisei River mixing zone shows patterns similar to other world's rivers.

    Humus accumulation and microbial activities in calcari-epigleyic fluvisols under grassland and forest diked in for 30 years (2005)

    Description: The accumulation and transformation of organic matter during soil development is rarely investigated although such processes are relevant when discussing about carbon sequestration in soil. Here, we investigated soils under grassland and forest close to the North Sea that began its genesis under terrestrial conditions 30 years ago after dikes were closed. Organic C contents of up to 99 mg g−1 soil were found until 6 cm soil depth. The humus consisted mainly of the fraction lighter than 1.6 g cm−3 which refers to poorly degraded organic carbon. High microbial respiratory activity was determined with values between 1.57 and 1.17 μg CO2–C g−1 soil h−1 at 22 °C and 40 to 70% water-holding capacity for the grassland and forest topsoils, respectively. The microbial C to organic C ratio showed values up to 20 mg Cmic g−1 Corg. Although up to 2.69 kg C m−2 were estimated to be sequestered during 30 years, the microbial indicators showed intensive colonisation and high transformation rates under both forest and grassland which were higher than those determined in agricultural and forest topsoils in Northern Germany.

    Internal tides and sediment dynamics in the deep sea—Evidence from radioactive 234Th/238U disequilibria (2008)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2015-09-22
    Description: Residual flow, barotropic tides and internal (baroclinic) tides interact in a number of ways with kilometer-scale seafloor topography such as abyssal hills and seamounts. Because of their likely impact on vertical mixing such interactions are potentially important for ocean circulation and the mechanisms and the geometry of these interactions are a matter of ongoing studies. In addition, very little is known about how these interactions are reflected in the sedimentary record. This multi-year study investigates if flow/topography interactions are reflected in distributional patterns of the natural short-lived (half-life: 24.1 d) particulate-matter tracer 234Th relative to its conservative (non-particle-reactive) and very long-lived parent nuclide 238U. The sampling sites were downstream of, or surrounded by, fields of short seamounts and, therefore, very likely to be influenced by nearby flow/topography interactions. At the sampling sites between about 200 and 1000 m above the seafloor recurrent ‘fossil’ disequilibria were detected. ‘Fossil’ disequilibria are defined by clearly detectable 234Th/238U disequilibria (total 234Th radioactivity 〈238U radioactivity, indicating a history of intense particulate 234Th scavenging and particulate-matter settling from the sampled parcel of water) and conspicuously low particle-associated 234Th activities. ‘Fossil’ disequilibria were centered at levels in the water column that correspond to the average height of the short seamounts near the sampling sites. This suggests the ‘fossil’ disequilibria are formed on the seamount slopes. Moreover, the magnitude of the ‘fossil’ disequilibria suggests that the slopes of the short seamounts in the study region are characterized by particularly vigorous fluid dynamics. Since ‘fossil’ disequilibria already occurred at ∼O(1–10 km) away from the seamount slopes it is likely that these vigorous fluid dynamics rapidly decay away from the slopes on scales of O(1–10 km). These conclusions are supported by the horizontal distribution and magnitude of the modeled total (barotropic+baroclinic) tidal current velocities of the predominating tidal M2 constituent: on (near-)critical seamount slopes baroclinic tides lead to localized [∼O(1 km)] increases of the overall tidal current velocity by a factor of ∼ 2, thereby pushing the total current velocity well above the threshold for sediment erosion. The results of this and a previous study [Turnewitsch, R., Reyss, J.-L., Chapman, D.C., Thomson, J., Lampitt, R.S., 2004. Evidence for a sedimentary fingerprint of an asymmetric flow field surrounding a short seamount. Earth and Planetary Science Letters 222(3–4), 1023–1036] show that kilometer-scale flow/topography interactions leave a marine geochemical imprint. This imprint may help develop new sediment proxies for the reconstruction of past changes of fluid dynamics in the deep sea, including residual and tidal flow. Sedimentary records controlled by kilometer-scale seafloor elevations are promising systems for the reconstruction of paleo-changes of deep-ocean fluid dynamics. For the sediment-based reconstruction of paleo-parameters other than physical oceanographic ones it may be advisable to avoid kilometer-scale topography altogether.

    Methane hydrate formation in turbidite sediments of northern Cascadia, IODP Expedition 311 (2008)

    Description: Expedition 311 of the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) to northern Cascadia recovered gas-hydrate bearing sediments along a SW–NE transect from the first ridge of the accretionary margin to the eastward limit of gas-hydrate stability. In this study we contrast the gas gas-hydrate distribution from two sites drilled ~ 8 km apart in different tectonic settings. At Site U1325, drilled on a depositional basin with nearly horizontal sedimentary sequences, the gas-hydrate distribution shows a trend of increasing saturation toward the base of gas-hydrate stability, consistent with several model simulations in the literature. Site U1326 was drilled on an uplifted ridge characterized by faulting, which has likely experienced some mass wasting events. Here the gas hydrate does not show a clear depth-distribution trend, the highest gas-hydrate saturation occurs well within the gas-hydrate stability zone at the shallow depth of ~ 49 mbsf. Sediments at both sites are characterized by abundant coarse-grained (sand) layers up to 23 cm in thickness, and are interspaced within fine-grained (clay and silty clay) detrital sediments. The gas-hydrate distribution is punctuated by localized depth intervals of high gas-hydrate saturation, which preferentially occur in the coarse-grained horizons and occupy up to 60% of the pore space at Site U1325 and 〉 80% at Site U1326. Detailed analyses of contiguous samples of different lithologies show that when enough methane is present, about 90% of the variance in gas-hydrate saturation can be explained by the sand (〉 63 μm) content of the sediments. The variability in gas-hydrate occupancy of sandy horizons at Site U1326 reflects an insufficient methane supply to the sediment section between 190 and 245 mbsf.

    Description: Over a 12-year period (1989–2000) the spatial and temporal distribution of zooplankton in the Laptev Sea (Arctic Siberia) has been investigated. A total number of 111 taxa from 10 phyla were found. Sixteen species are reported from this region for the first time. The distribution and abundance of zooplankton on the Laptev Sea shelf is dependent on the main direction of river water spread, which varies between years. While the western and northeastern Laptev Sea shelf is dominated by a marine–neritic fauna, the central part is inhabited by a transitional brackish–marine assemblage. A brackish–neritic community characterizes the eastern and southeastern regions, where lowest salinities usually prevail. Closer to estuaries the summer zooplankton consists of both freshwater and brackish-water species, whereas in winter brackish-water species are dominant. Average zooplankton abundance varies seasonally and interannually, particularly in the southeastern Laptev Sea. The amplitude of these variations mainly depends on the state of the populations of the most common Copepoda species, the intensity of their reproduction, and their success in overwintering. Two seasonal abundance maxima were found, at the end of winter and at the end of summer. During the period of highest reproduction in summer the abundance may be 50 times greater than during overwintering. The average population abundance can vary by the factor of 2 in summer and in winter from year to year.

    Description: Plant macrofossils from the “Mamontovy Khayata” permafrost sequence (71°60′N, 129°25′E) on the Bykovsky Peninsula reflect climate and plant biodiversity in west Beringia during the last cold stage. 70 AMS and 20 conventional 14C dates suggest sediment accumulation between about 60,000 and 7500 14C yr B.P. The plant remains prove that during the last cold-stage arctic species (Minuartia arctica, Draba spp., Kobresia myosuroides) coexisted with aquatic (Potamogeton vaginatus, Callitriche hermaphroditica), littoral (Ranunculus reptans, Rumex maritimus), meadow (Hordeum brevisubulatum, Puccinellia tenuiflora) and steppe taxa (Alyssum obovatum, Silene repens, Koeleria cristata, Linum perenne). The reconstructed vegetation composition is similar to modern vegetation mosaics in central and northeast Yakutian relict steppe areas. Thus, productive meadow and steppe communities played an important role in the Siberian Arctic vegetation during the late Pleistocene and could have served as food resource for large populations of herbivores. The floristic composition reflects an extremely continental, arid climate with winters colder and summers distinctly warmer than at present. Holocene macrofossil assemblages indicate a successive paludification possibly connected with marine transgression, increased oceanic influence and atmospheric humidity. Although some steppe taxa were still present in the early Holocene, they disappeared completely before ∼2900 14C yr B.P.

    Methane turnover and temperature response of methane-oxidizing bacteria in permafrost-affected soils of northeast Siberia (2008)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-12-31
    Description: The abundance, activity, and temperature response of aerobic methane-oxidizing bacteria were studied in permafrost-affected tundra soils of northeast Siberia. The soils were characterized by both a high accumulation of organic matter at the surface and high methane concentrations in the water-saturated soils. The methane oxidation rates of up to 835 nmol CH4 h−1 g−1 in the surface soils were similar to the highest values reported so far for natural wetland soils worldwide. The temperature response of methane oxidation was measured during short incubations and revealed maximum rates between 22 °C and 28 °C. The active methanotrophic community was characterized by its phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) concentrations and with stable isotope probing (SIP). Concentrations of 16:1ω8 and 18:1ω8 PLFAs, specific to methanotrophic bacteria, correlated significantly with the potential methane oxidation rates. In all soils, distinct 16:1 PLFAs were dominant, indicating a predominance of type I methanotrophs. However, long-term incubation of soil samples at 0 °C and 22 °C demonstrated a shift in the composition of the active community with rising temperatures. At 0 °C, only the concentrations of 16:1 PLFAs increased and those of 18:1 PLFAs decreased, whereas the opposite was true at 22 °C. Similarly, SIP with 13CH4 showed a temperature-dependent pattern. When the soils were incubated at 0 °C, most of the incorporated label (83%) was found in 16:1 PLFAs and only 2% in 18:1 PLFAs. In soils incubated at 22 °C, almost equal amounts of 13C label were incorporated into 16:1 PLFAs and 18:1 PLFAs (33% and 36%, respectively). We concluded that the highly active methane-oxidizing community in cold permafrost-affected soils was dominated by type I methanotrophs under in situ conditions. However, rising temperatures, as predicted for the future, seem to increase the importance of type II methanotrophs, which may affect methane cycling in northern wetlands.

    The pattern and process of mammoth evolution in Eurasia (2005)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2015-11-04
    Description: Mammoth evolution in Eurasia represents one of the best-studied examples of evolutionary pattern and process in the terrestrial fossil record. A pervasive belief in the gradual transformation of chronospecies in Europe is giving way to a more complex model incorporating geographical variation across the whole of northern Eurasia. This in turn casts doubt on biostratigraphic deductions which assume gradual transformation of molar morphology, simultaneous across the species’ range. The earliest European elephantids, Mammuthus rumanus, occur in the interval 3.5–2.5 Ma, and are distinctly more primitive than the better-known M. meridionalis. The species ‘M. gromovi’, identified in the interval c. 2.6–2.2 Ma, appears to be a junior synonym of M. meridionalis. M. meridionalis dispersed widely and, in the interval 2.0–1.5 Ma, gave rise to M. trogontherii in eastern Asia, probably in China, spreading to NE Siberia by 1.2 Ma. Between that date and c. 600 ka, flow of genes and/or individuals westwards produced an interaction with European M. meridionalis which led to a network of populations in time and space and the eventual supplanting of that species by M. trogontherii. This conclusion is based principally on the earlier appearance of M. trogontherii morphology in eastern Asia, supplemented by complex morphological patterns in Europe during the time of transition. Subsequently, M. trogontherii did not undergo a gradual transformation into M. primigenius (woolly mammoth) in Europe, but remained in stasis (apart from size reduction) until 200 ka. In NE Siberia, however, M. trogontherii began a transformation into primitive M. primigenius morphology as early as 700 ka, and that species continued its evolution in the same region through the Middle and Late Pleistocene. The incursion of M. primigenius into Europe appears to have occurred soon after 200 ka, and its ‘replacement’ of M. trogontherii there probably included some introgression from the latter species.

    Description: The mesozooplankton community, with special emphasis on calanoid copepods, was studied with respect to its species composition, abundance, vertical distribution and developmental structure during the “Ice Station POLarstern” (ISPOL) expedition to the ice-covered western Weddell Sea. Stratified zooplankton tows were carried out nine times between 1 December 2004 and 2 January 2005 with a multiple opening–closing net between 0 and 1000 m depth. Copepods were by far the most abundant taxon, contributing more than 94% of the total mesozooplankton. Numerical dominants were cyclopoid copepods, mostly Oncaea spp. A total of 66 calanoid copepod species were identified, but the calanoid copepod community was characterised by the dominance of only a few species. The most numerous species was Microcalanus pygmaeus, which comprised on average 70% of all calanoids. Calanoides acutus and Metridia gerlachei represented other abundant calanoid species contributing an average of 8% and 7%, respectively. All other species comprised less than 3%. The temporal changes in the abundance and population structure of M. pygmaeus and M. gerlachei were small while a shift in the stage frequency distribution of C. acutus was observed during the study: copepodite stage IV (C IV) dominated the C. acutus population with 48–50% during the first week of December, while C V comprised 48% in late December. C I and C II of C. acutus were absent in the samples, and males occurred only in very low numbers in greater depths. In M. gerlachei, C I was not found, whereas all developmental stages of M. pygmaeus occurred throughout the study. All three species showed migratory behaviour, and they occurred in upper water layers towards the end of the investigation. This vertical ascent was most pronounced in C. acutus and relatively weak in the other two species. In M. pygmaeus and M. gerlachei, copepodids were responsible for the upward migration in late December, while the vertical distribution of adults did not change. In C. acutus, all abundant developmental stages (C IV, C V and females) ascended to upper water layers. Almost exclusively (93%) medium- and semi-ripe females of C. acutus and M. gerlachei were found, and only 3–4% of the ovaries were ripe. The absence of C I and the low number of ripe females indicate that the main reproductive period had not started in C. acutus and M. gerlachei until the end of our study in early January. In contrast, the high portion of C I and C II of M. pygmaeus suggests that reproduction of this species had started in October–November and hence before the onset of the phytoplankton bloom in the water. The community structure did not differ between stations with one exception on 26 December, when the station was strongly influenced by the continental shelf.

    Description: This study systematically analyzes long-term (1950-1992) stream temperature records for the major sub-basins within the Lena River watershed in order to describe water temperature regimes over the various parts of the Lena watershed and document significant stream temperature changes induced by reservoir regulation, and by natural variations/changes. The results show that the open water season can be divided into three consecutive stages---"increasing temperature stage" in the early open water season, "stable temperature stage" in the mid-warm season, and "decreasing temperature stage" in the late open water season. Temperature conditions are similar over the Aldan and Upper Lena regions. However, stream temperatures at the Lena basin outlet are up to 8 °C lower than those over the southern sub-basins. This suggests that the latitudinal difference in climatic variables, such as air temperature, might be the major control on stream temperature regime. Results also demonstrate that the reservoir regulation has a strong influence on the regional water temperature regime and change in the regulated sub-basin. Reservoir regulation has increased (decreased) the downstream water temperatures in the Vilui valley during the early (mid) open water season. Trend analyses show consistent warming trends across the entire Lena River basin in the early open water season. This may indicate a response to earlier snowmelt over the Lena River watershed. Trend results also demonstrate that the Aldan tributary, without much human impact, experiences warming (cooling) trends in the first (second) half of the open water season, leading to a stream temperature regime shift toward early open water season. The upper Lena River has warming (cooling) trends in the early (mid-late) open water season. Over the regulated Vilui tributary, however, stream temperatures have significantly increased in the early and late parts of the warm season due to combined effects of natural changes and reservoir regulation. Over the Lena basin as a whole, strong positive correlations have been found between the basin mean monthly air and water temperatures during the warm season. Increasing water temperatures were observed during the early and mid-June. Because of stream temperature increase in this peak flow period, the Lena River heat flux has gone up by 23% in June. This may have considerable impact on the thermal conditions of the Laptev Sea in the early summer season.

    Description: Precipitation measurement by radar allows for areal rainfall determination with a high spatial and temporal resolution. However, hydrological applications require an accuracy of the precipitation quantification which cannot be obtained by today’s weather radar devices. The quality of the radar-derived precipitation can be significantly improved with the aid of ground measurements. In this paper, a complete processing pipeline for real-time radar precipitation determination using a modified statistical objective analysis method is presented. Thereby, several additional algorithms, such as a dynamical use of Z–R relationships, a bias correction and an advection correction scheme are employed. The performance of the algorithms is tested for several case studies. For an error analysis, an eight months data set of X-band radar scans and rain gauge precipitation measurements is used. We show a reduction in the radar–rain gauge RMS difference of up to 59% for the optimal combination of the different algorithms.

    Long time series of deep water particle flux in three biogeochemical provinces of the northeast Atlantic (2005)
    Elsevier
    In:  Journal of Marine Systems, 56 (3-4). pp. 391-415.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2015-09-22
    Description: Long-term observations of the deep ocean particle flux from three sites in the northeast Atlantic (33 degrees N, 22 degrees W; 47 degrees N, 20 degrees W; 54 degrees N, 20 degrees W) provide the basis for comparison and characterization of the biogeochemical provinces in terms of sedimentation pattern. Deep ocean particle flux data (2000 in) for fluxes of total mass and the flux composition are presented and compared to published sediment trap data from this area to consider regional-scale variations in the quantity and composition of settling material. The observations show that in the northeast Atlantic gradient of decreasing mass flux from North to South, exists consistent with known changes of biological productivity in surface waters. This gradient is associated with similar trends in opal and particulate organic carbon, whereas calcium carbonate shows trend in the opposite direction. The changes in the composition of the settling material found along the transect are indicating that the calcium carbonate flux is critical in removing organic matter from the upper ocean to the deeper sink. Its role declines from the subtropical ocean (60-80% of the particle flux) towards North (〈 40%) reflecting the decreasing importance of coccolithophorid/foraminiferal blooms for particle flux from the subtropical to the subpolar North Atlantic. In contrast, the role of biogenic silica (opal) in regard to the ballasting effect increases towards North. The northern sites have much higher percentage of biogenic silica than the sites in the South, because of the deep winter mixing and the seasonality of phytoplankton dominated by diatom blooms during spring and summer. The comparison of the seasonal pattern of particle flux with the seasonal pattern of surface chlorophyll a concentrations from SeaWiFS together with the similarity of the pattern observed in calcium carbonate and opal leads to the conclusion that the particle flux at two positions (33 degrees N, 22 degrees W; 47 degrees N, 20 degrees W) is fast and directly coupled to the phytoplankton dynamics in the overlying euphotic zone.

    Spatial demography of Calanus finmarchicus in the Irminger Sea (2008)

    Description: Continuous Plankton Recorder data suggest that the Irminger Sea supports a major proportion of the surface-living population of the copepod Calanus finmarchicus in the northern North Atlantic, but there have been few studies of its population dynamics in the region. In this paper, we document the seasonal changes in the demographic structure of C. finmarchicus in the Irminger Sea from a field programme during 2001/2002, and the associations between its developmental stages and various apparent bio-physical zones. Overwintering stages were found widely at depth (〉500 m) across the Irminger Sea, and surviving females were widely distributed in the surface waters the following spring. However, recruitment of the subsequent generation was concentrated around the fringes of the Irminger Sea basin, along the edges of the Irminger and East Greenland Currents, and not in the central basin. In late summer animals were found descending back to overwintering depths in the Central Irminger Sea. The key factors dictating this pattern of recruitment appear to be (a) the general circulation regime, (b) predation on eggs in the spring, possibly by the surviving G0 stock, and (c) mortality of first feeding naupliar stages in the central basin where food concentrations appear to be low throughout the year. We compared the demographic patterns in 2001/2002 with observations from the only previous major survey in 1963 and with data from the Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) surveys. In both previous data sets, the basic structure of G0 ascent from the central basin and G1 recruitment around the fringes was a robust feature, suggesting that it is a recurrent phenomenon. The Irminger Sea is a complex mixing zone between polar and Atlantic water masses, and it has also been identified as a site of sporadic deep convection. The physical oceanographic characteristics of the region are therefore potentially sensitive to climate fluctuations. Despite this, the abundance of C. finmarchicus in the region, as measured by the CPR surveys, appears not to have responded to climate factors linked to the North Atlantic Oscillation Index, in contrast with the stocks in eastern Atlantic areas. We speculate that this may because biological factors (production and mortality), rather than transport processes are the key factors affecting the population dynamics in the Irminger Sea.

    Description: In the framework of the “Ice Station POLarstern” (ISPOL) expedition in the western Weddell Sea, two sediment traps were deployed at 10 and 70 m water depth under a drifting ice floe in December 2004. The amount and composition of the vertical particle flux under sea ice were determined during a period of 30 days in order to investigate the influence of biological processes in sea ice and on its underside on the flux. The total mass flux was dominated by diatoms, faecal material, and aggregates, and ranged from 95.28 to 197.67 mg m−2 d−1 at 10 m depth and from 51.54 to 55.34 mg m−2 d−1 at 70 m depth. A strong increase with time of the flux of chlorophyll equivalents, biogenic silica, and faecal material was recorded during the observation period, coincident with the increase in the concentration of chlorophyll a in the bottom ice layer above the trap array. The latter suggests a concomitant increase in the amount of food available for grazers, such as krill, in the bottom ice layer and on the underside of the ice floe, resulting in an increased downward transport of ice-algal material into the water column. The sinking faecal material was dominated by krill faecal strings and contained large amounts of diatom frustule debris, as well as intact diatom frustules, mainly of the species Fragilariopsis curta and F. cylindrus. Single pronounced flux events of Phaeocystis antarctica and aggregates were also observed early in the study period. Low POC/PON and biogenic silica/POC ratios of the sinking particulate matter suggest that the material collected in the traps was relatively fresh.

    Description: In the framework of the R.V. Polarstern expedition “Ice station POLarstern” (ISPOL) spatial and temporal trends in composition, abundance and age structure of sea ice inhabiting copepods were investigated in the western Weddell Sea during the transition from the spring to the summer state. For the spatial scale, sea-ice coring was performed at six locations on a transect from the ice edge to the ice-drift station between 14 and 24 November 2004. The temporal changes were investigated in a time series study on a drifting sea-ice floe from 29 November to 30 December 2004. A relatively large number of copepod species (15) were found in the ice with a higher number at the time station (13) than at the transect (9). Drescheriella spp. was by far the most abundant taxon encountered in the sea ice throughout the present study (72–87%). On the transect, Idomene antarctica ranked second in abundance (7%) followed by Stephos longipes (2%) and Ectinosoma sp. (2%). In contrast, Diarthrode cf. lilacinus, which was not found on the transect, was the second most abundant species (11%) at the time station, followed by I. antarctica (9%), Ectinosoma sp. (6%) and S. longipes (1%). Naupliar stages dominated the populations of Drescheriella spp. and S. longipes both on the transect and during the time series. The Ectinosoma sp. population was dominated by nauplii only at the stations of the transect, while copepodite stages made up the largest fraction during the time series. Copepodids always predominated the I. antarctica populations, and it was the only species in which adults occurred in high densities contributing significantly to the abundance. Only Drescheriella spp. and S. longipes occurred throughout the sea-ice cores, while the occurrence of all other species was restricted to the bottom layer of the ice. The distribution of all species was very patchy and varied greatly between the sampling sites.

    New insights into the Weichselian environment and climate of the East Siberian Arctic, derived from fossil insects, plants, and mammals (2005)

    Publication Date: 2015-03-24
    Description: Multidisciplinary study of a key section on the Laptev Sea Coast (Bykovsky Peninsula, east Lena Delta) in 1998–2001 provides the most complete record of Middle and Late Weichselian environments in the East Siberian Arctic. The 40-m high Mamontovy Khayata cliff is a typical Ice Complex section built of icy silts with a network of large syngenetic polygonal ice wedges, and is richly fossiliferous. In combination with pollen, plant macrofossil and mammal fossils, a sequence of ca 70 insect samples provides a new interpretation of the environment and climate of the area between ca 50 and 12 ka. The large number of radiocarbon dates from the section, together with an extensive 14C database on mammal bones, allows chronological correlation of the various proxies. The Bykovsky record shows how climate change, and the Last Glacial Maximum in particular, affected terrestrial organisms such as insects and large grazing mammals. Both during the presumed “Karginsky Interstadial” (MIS 3) and the Sartanian Glacial (MIS 2), the vegetation remained a mosaic arctic grassland with relatively high diversity of grasses and herbs and dominance of xeric habitats: the tundra-steppe type. This biome was supported by a constantly very continental climate, caused by low sea level and enormous extension of shelf land. Variations within the broad pattern were caused mainly by fluctuations in summer temperature, related to global trends but overprinted by the effect of continentality. No major changes in humidity were observed nor were advances of modern-type forest or forest-tundra recorded, suggesting a major revision of the “Karginsky Interstadial” paradigm. The changing subtypes of the tundra-steppe environment were persistently favourable for mammalian grazers, which inhabited the shelf lowlands throughout the studied period. Mammal population numbers were lowered during the LGM, especially toward its end, and then flourished in a short, but impressive peak in the latest Weichselian, just before the collapse of the tundra-steppe biome. Throughout MIS 3 and MIS 2, the climate remained very favourable for the aggradation of permafrost. No events of regional permafrost degradation were observed in the continuous Bykovsky sequence until the very end of the Pleistocene.

    Description: Helicopter-borne and ground-based electromagnetic (EM) ice thickness and ruler-stick snow thickness measurements as well as ice-core analyses of ice temperature, salinity and texture were performed over a 5-week observation period between November 27, 2004, and January 2, 2005, on an ice floe in the western Weddell Sea at approximately 67°S, 55°W. The study was part of the Ice Station Polarstern (ISPOL) expedition of German research icebreaker R.V. Polarstern, investigating changes of physical, biological, and biogeochemical properties during the spring warming as a function of atmospheric and oceanic boundary conditions. The ice floe was composed of fragments of thin and thick first-year ice and thick second-year ice, with modal total thicknesses of 1.2–1.3, 2.1, and 2.4–2.9 m, respectively. This included modal snow thicknesses of 0.2–0.5 m on first-year ice and 0.75 m on second-year ice. During the observation period, snow thickness decreased by less than 0.2 m. There was hardly any ice thinning. Warming of snow and ice between 0.1 and 1.9 °C resulted in decreased ice salinity and increased brine volume. Direct current (DC) geoelectric and electromagnetic (EM) induction depth sounding were performed to study changes of electrical ice conductivity as a result of the observed ice warming. Bulk ice conductivity increased from to 37 to 97 mS/m. Analysis of conductivity anisotropy showed that the horizontal ice conductivity changed from 9 to 70 mS/m. These conductivity changes have only negligible effects on the thickness retrieval from EM measurements.

    Description: Extracts of cultures grown in liquid or on solid rice media of the fungal endophyte Ampelomyces sp. isolated from the medicinal plant Urospermum picroides exhibited considerable cytotoxic activity when tested in vitro against L5178Y cells. Chromatographic separation yielded 14 natural products that were unequivocally identified based on their 1H and 13C NMR as well as mass spectra and comparison with previously published data. Six compounds (2, 4, 5, 7, 9 and 11) were natural products. Both fungal extracts differed considerably in their secondary metabolites. The extract obtained from liquid cultures afforded a pyrone (2) and sulfated anthraquinones (7 and 9) along with the known compounds 1, 3, 6 and 8. When grown on solid rice medium the fungus yielded three compounds 4, 5 and 11 in addition to several known metabolites including 6, 8, 10, 12, 13 and 14. Compounds 4, 8 and 10 showed the strongest cytotoxic activity against L5178Y cells with EC50 values ranging from 0.2-7.3microg/ml. Furthermore, 8 and 10 displayed antimicrobial activity against the Gram-positive pathogens, Staphylococcus aureus, S. epidermidis and Enterococcus faecalis at minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of 12.5microg/ml and 12.5-25microg/ml, respectively. Interestingly, 6 and 8 were also identified as constituents of an extract derived from a healthy plant sample of the host plant U. picroides thereby indicating that the production of bioactive natural products by the endophyte proceeds also under in situ conditions within the host plant.

    Description: The Narryer Terrane within the northwestern Yilgarn Craton contains the oldest crust in Australia. The Jack Hills greenstone belt is located within the southern part of the Narryer Terrane, and structures cutting it and surrounding rocks have been dated using the 40Ar/39Ar technique. The results show that east-trending, dextral, transpressive shearing was related to the 1830–1780 Ma Capricorn Orogeny, followed by further deformation and/or cooling between c. 1760 and 1740 Ma. These results confirm that major deformation has affected the northwestern part of the Yilgarn Craton in an intracratonic setting during the Proterozoic. Proterozoic structures have been interpreted to extend south beyond the Narryer Terrane into the northern part of the Youanmi Terrane (Murchison Domain), and include the Yalgar Fault, previously interpreted as the boundary between the Narryer and Youanmi Terranes. Terrane amalgamation pre-dated the emplacement of c. 2660 Ma granites in both terranes, and the current expression of the Yalgar Fault must represent a younger, reworked, post-amalgamation structure, possibly controlled by the tectonic boundary. However, new aeromagnetic and gravity imagery does not show the eastern part of the Yalgar Fault as a major structure. Its signature is more akin to a series of east- to east-northeast trending faults that are interpreted to be Proterozoic in age. This suggests that this part of the Yalgar Fault may not be a terrane boundary, and is possibly no older than Proterozoic. The 40Ar/39Ar dating also shows a younger, less intense deformation and/or cooling event at c. 1172 Ma.

    Description: Organic microfossils of a well-dated sediment core from Gotland Basin were analysed and used for the ecological interpretation of the Holocene history of this area. To avoid confusion with corrected and uncorrected 14C ages, only calendar years BP are used. In the lowermost part organic microfossils are rare, but few marine dinoflagellate cysts between 11 300 and 11 000 years BP indicate the marine Yoldia Phase. At 9800 years BP a significant environmental change is indicated by the rapid increase of freshwater dinoflagellates and pine pollen. At the end of the freshwater stage an enormous abundance increase of cladoceran remains indicates an eutrophication event between 7600 and 7400 years BP. First permanent brackish water conditions of the surface water were established at 7400 years BP and the increasing salinity reached its maximum between 6700 and 6400 years BP. Further changes in the brackish surface water ecosystem of the Gotland Basin can be found at 5500, 4400, 3000, 1000, and 800 years BP, which are thought to be mainly climatically induced.

    On the variability of the deep meridional transports in the tropical North Atlantic (2008)

    Publication Date: 2019-09-23
    Description: A 5-year-long time series of meridional transport below 1180 dbar—zonally integrated across a section spanning, the western basin of the tropical North Atlantic—is analyzed. It has been inferred from (i) zonally integrated meridional geostrophic transports derived from density and bottom pressure measurements at the end points of a 1000 km wide section bounded by the base of the western continental rise and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and (ii) mooring-based direct current meter measurements over the steep Lesser Antilles continental rise. The southward time mean transport of North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) transport is 15.9 Sv. The vertical shear of the geostrophic transport profiles in the western and eastern part of the section each show two layers of maximum southward transport within the NADW. The transport time series reveals changes of 7.7 Sv rms at periods of 1 month and longer, at times showing changes of up to 40 Sv within a month's time. The baroclinic (internal) contribution of the geostrophic flow (relative to 4950 dbar), yields fluctuations of 6.6 Sv rms. Adding transports over the steep continental rise reduces the overall transport variability to 5.2 Sv rms. As a result of this reduction in shorter-period variability, the lower-frequency variability becomes more pronounced, part of which is expected to be linked to the meridional overturning circulation (MOC). The transport variability is consistent with baroclinic Rossby waves (at periods between 3 and 9 months), dominating in the eastern and central part of the section, and with changes in deep western boundary current (DWBC) strength, DWBC re-circulation patterns and eddies that become important in the western part of the section. The reference-level (external) geostrophic transport variability displays long-wavelength (〉2000 km) fluctuations of 7.5 Sv rms on periods less than 2 weeks that are consistent with barotropic Rossby waves. Numerical model simulations imply that the observed zonally integrated deep transport changes in the western basin have moderate skill in sensing changes in the MOC and in meridional heat transport, and that a now implemented extension of the array's integration scale into the eastern basin of the Atlantic would substantially improve the performance of the array as an MOC observing system.

    The calcium carbonate saturation state in cyanobacterial mats throughout Earths history (2008)

    Description: Through early lithification, cyanobacterial mats produced vast amounts of CaCO3 on Precambrian carbonate platforms (before 540 Myr ago). The superposition of lithified cyanobacterial mats forms internally laminated, macroscopic structures known as stromatolites. Similar structures can be important constituents of Phanerozoic carbonate platforms (540 Myr to present). Early lithification in modern marine cyanobacterial mats is thought to be driven by a metabolically-induced increase of the CaCO3 saturation state (XCaCO3 ) in the mat. However, it is uncertain which microbial processes produce the XCaCO3 increase and to which extent similar XCaCO3 shifts were possible in Precambrian oceans whose chemistry differed from that of the modern ocean. I developed a numerical model that calculates XCaCO3 in cyanobacterial mats and used it to tackle these questions. The model is first applied to simulate XCaCO3 in modern calcifying cyanobacterial mats forming at Highborne Cay (Bahamas); it shows that while cyanobacterial photosynthesis increases XCaCO3 considerably, sulphate reduction has a small and opposite effect on mat XCaCO3 because it is coupled to H2S oxidation with O2 which produces acidity. Numerical experiments show that the magnitude of the XCaCO3 increase is proportional to DIC in DIC-limited waters (DIC 〈 3–10 mM), is proportional to pH when ambient water DIC is not limiting and always proportional to the concentration of Ca2+ in ambient waters. With oceanic Ca2+ concentrations greater than a few millimolar, an appreciable increase in XCaCO3 occurs in mats under a wide range of environmental conditions, including those supposed to exist in the oceans of the past 2.8 Gyr. The likely lithological expression is the formation of the microsparitic stromatolite microtexture—indicative of CaCO3 precipitation within the mats under the control of microbial activity—which is found in carbonate rocks spanning from the Precambrian to recent. The model highlights the potential for an increase in the magnitude of the XCaCO3 shift in cyanobacterial mats throughout Earth’s history produced by a decrease in salinity and temperature of the ocean, a decrease in atmospheric pCO2 and an increase in solar irradiance. Such a trend would explain how the formation of the microsparitic stromatolite microtexture was possible as the XCaCO3 of the ocean decreased from the Paleoproterozoic to the Phanerozoic.

    Early to middle Holocene changes in Laptev Sea water masses deduced from diatom and aquatic palynomorph assemblages (2005)
    Elsevier
    In:  Global and Planetary Change, 48 (1-3). pp. 208-222.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-09-13
    Description: On the basis of diatom and aquatic palynomorph assemblages in sediment cores obtained from the eastern Laptev Sea shelf, major phases of environmental change associated with the last postglacial global sea-level rise can be recognized for the time since 11.3 calendar years BP (cal. ka). Until 11 cal. ka, the outer Laptev Sea shelf (≥ 51 m paleodepth) was inundated and paleoenvironmental conditions were characterized by increased precipitation of river-loaded matter, primarily diatom plankton, in a river-proximal environment where reconstructed surface water salinities, using freshwater diatoms as proxy, remained below 9. The time interval 10.7–9.2 cal. ka was marked by a predominance of the dinoflagellate cyst Operculodinium centrocarpum as well as by the appearance of relatively warm-water indicative species in the outer Laptev Sea, probably due to enhanced influence of Atlantic Water at the continental margin. Because a continuously rising sea level resulted in an increasing distance between the investigated site and the southward retreating coastline, surface-water salinities on the outer shelf approached modern values of about 15–16 around 8.6 cal. ka. On the inner Laptev Sea shelf, modern-like environmental conditions were reached about 1 to 1.5 ky later, around 7.4 cal. ka, emphasizing the overwhelming influence of the global transgression on the Holocene evolution of Arctic shelf water masses.

    Combining trace element compositions, U-Pb geochronology and Hf isotopes in zircons to unravel complex calcalkaline magma chambers in the Upper Cretaceous Srednogorie Zone (Bulgaria) (2008)
    Elsevier
    In:  Lithos, 104 . pp. 405-427.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-09-12
    Description: Precise U–Pb geochronology and Hf isotope tracing of zircon is combined with whole-rock geochemical and Sr and Nd isotope data in order to unravel processes affecting mafic to felsic calcalkaline magmas prior to and during their crystallization in crustal magma chambers along the southern border of Central Srednogorie tectonic zone in Bulgaria (SE Europe). ID-TIMS U–Pb dating of single zircons from felsic and mixed/mingled dioritic to gabbroic horizons of single plutons define crystallization ages of around 86.5–86.0, 85.0–84.5 and 82 Ma. Concordia age uncertainties are generally less than 0.3 Ma (0.35%–2σ), and as good as 0.08 Ma (0.1%), when the weighted mean 206Pb/238U value is used. Such precision allows the distinction of magma replenishment processes if separated by more than 0.6–1.0 Ma and when they are marked by newly saturated zircons. We interpret zircon dates from a single sample that do not overlap to reflect new zircon growth during magma recharge in a long-lived crustal chamber. Mingling/mixing of the basaltic magma with colder granitoid mush at mid- to upper-crustal levels is proposed to explain zircon saturation and fast crystallization of U- and REE-rich zircons in the hybrid gabbro. Major and trace-element distribution and Sr and Nd whole-rock isotope chemistry define island arc affinities for the studied plutons. Slab derived fluids and a sediment component are constrained as enrichment sources for the mantle wedge-derived magma, though Hf isotopes in zircon suggest crustal assimilation was also important. Inherited zircons, and their corresponding ε-Hf, from the hybrid gabbroic rocks trace the lower crust as possible source for enrichment of the mantle magma. These inherited zircons are about 440 Ma old with ε-Hf of − 7 at 82 Ma, whereas newly saturated concordant Upper Cretaceous zircons reveal mantle ε-Hf values of + 7.2 to + 10.1. The upper and middle crusts contribute in the generation of the granitoid rocks. Their zircon inheritance is Lower Palaeozoic or significantly older and crustal dominated with 82–85 Ma corrected ε-Hf values of − 28. The Cretaceous concordant zircons in the granitoids are mantle dominated with a ε-Hf values spreading from + 3.9 to + 7.

    Sr- and Nd-isotope geochemistry of the Atlantis Massif (30°N, MAR): Implications for fluid fluxes and lithospheric heterogeneity (2008)
    Elsevier
    In:  Chemical Geology, 254 . pp. 19-35.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-12-07
    Description: The Atlantis Massif (Mid-Atlantic Ridge, 30°N) is an oceanic core complex marked by distinct variations in crustal architecture, deformation and metamorphism over distances of at least 5 km. We report Sr and Nd isotope data and Rare Earth Element (REE) concentrations of gabbroic and ultramafic rocks drilled at the central dome (IODP Hole 1309D) and recovered by submersible from the southern ridge of the massif that underlie the peridotite-hosted Lost City Hydrothermal Field. Systematic variations between the two areas document variations in seawater penetration and degree of fluid–rock interaction during uplift and emplacement of the massif and hydrothermal activity associated with the formation of Lost City. Homogeneous Sr and Nd isotope compositions of the gabbroic rocks from the two areas (87Sr/86Sr: 0.70261–0.70429 and εNd: + 9.1 to + 12.1) indicate an origin from a depleted mantle. At the central dome, serpentinized peridotites are rare and show elevated seawater-like Sr isotope compositions related to serpentinization at shallow crustal levels, whereas unaltered mantle isotopic compositions preserved in the gabbroic rocks attest to limited seawater interaction at depth. This portion of the massif remained relatively unaffected by Lost City hydrothermal activity. In contrast, pervasive alteration and seawater-like Sr and Nd isotope compositions of serpentinites at the southern wall (87Sr/86Sr: 0.70885–0.70918; εNd: − 4.7 to + 11.3) indicate very high fluid–rock ratios (~ 20 and up to 106) and enhanced fluid fluxes during hydrothermal circulation. Our studies show that Nd isotopes are most sensitive to high fluid fluxes and are thus an important geochemical tracer for quantification of water–rock ratios in hydrothermal systems. Our results suggest that high fluxes and long-lived serpentinization processes may be critical to the formation of Lost City-type systems and that normal faulting and mass wasting in the south facilitate seawater penetration necessary to sustain hydrothermal activity.

    Anomalous sea-floor backscatter patterns in methane venting areas, Dnepr paleo-delta, NW Black Sea (2008)
    Elsevier
    In:  Marine Geology, 251 . pp. 253-267.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-12-03
    Description: The relation between acoustic sea-floor backscatter and seep distribution is examined by integrating multibeam backscatter data and seep locations detected by single-beam echosounder. This study is further supported by side-scan sonar recordings, high-resolution 5 kHz seismic data, pore-water analysis, grain-size analysis and visual sea-floor observations. The datasets were acquired during the 2003 and 2004 expeditions of the EC-funded CRIMEA project in the Dnepr paleo-delta area, northwestern Black Sea. More than 600 active methane seeps were hydroacoustically detected within a small (3.96 km by 3.72 km) area on the continental shelf of the Dnepr paleo-delta in water depths ranging from − 72 m to − 156 m. Multibeam and side-scan sonar recordings show backscatter patterns that are clearly associated with seepage or with a present dune area. Seeps generally occur within medium- to high-backscatter areas which often coincide with pockmarks. High-resolution seismic data reveals the presence of an undulating gas front, i.e. the top of the free gas in the subsurface, which domes up towards and intersects the sea floor at locations where gas seeps and medium- to high-backscatter values are detected. Pore-water analysis of 4 multi-cores, taken at different backscatter intensity sites, shows a clear correlation between backscatter intensity and dissolved methane fluxes. All analyzed chemical species indicate increasing anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) from medium- to high-backscatter locations. This is confirmed by visual sea-floor observations, showing bacterial mats and authigenic carbonates formed by AOM. Grain-size analysis of the 4 multi-cores only reveals negligible variations between the different backscatter sites. Integration of all datasets leads to the conclusion that the observed backscatter patterns are the result of ongoing methane seepage and the precipitation of methane-derived authigenic carbonates (MDACs) caused by AOM. The carbonate formation also appears to lead to a gradual (self)-sealing of the seeps by cementing fluid pathways/horizons followed by a relocation of the bubble-releasing locations.

    A study of the chemistry of pore fluids and authigenic carbonates in methane seep environments: Kodiak Trench, Hydrate Ridge, Monterey Bay, and Eel River Basin (2005)
    Elsevier
    In:  Chemical Geology, 220 (3-4). pp. 329-345.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-12-07
    Description: Analyses of the chemical and isotopic composition of carbonates rocks recovered from methane seepage areas of the Kodiak Trench, Hydrate Ridge, Monterey Bay Clam Flats, and the Eel River Basin, coupled with the studies of the chemistry of the pore fluids, have shown that these carbonates have grown within the sediment column. Geochemical profiles of pore fluids show that, in deep water seeps (Kodiak Trench—4450 m; Monterey Bay—1000 m; Hydrate Ridge—650 m), δ13C (DIC) values are low (isotopically light), whereas in the Eel River area (∼ 350–500 m), δ13C (DIC) values are much higher (isotopically heavier). In all cases, the δ13C values indicate that processes of methane oxidation, associated with sulfate reduction, are dominant in the shallow sediments. Data on the isotopic composition of authigenic carbonates found at sites in Kodiak Trench, Eel River Basin South, and Eel River Basin North indicate a variable composition and origin in different geochemical environments. Some of the authigenic carbonates from the study sites show a trend in their δ13C values similar to those of the pore fluids obtained in their vicinity, suggesting formation at relatively shallow depths, but others indicate formation at greater sediment depths. The latter usually consist of high magnesium calcite or dolomite, which, from their high values of δ13C (up to 23‰;) and δ18O (up to 7.5‰), suggest formation in the deeper horizons of the sediments, in the zone of methanogenesis. These observations are in agreement with observations by other workers at Hydrate Ridge, in Monterey Bay, and in the Eel River Basin.

    Methane hydrate accumulation in "Mound 11" mud volcano, Costa Rica forearc. (2005)
    Elsevier
    In:  Marine Geology, 216 . pp. 83-100.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-08-03
    Description: Shallow gas hydrate accumulation in mud volcanoes in the Costa Rica forearc was postulated before, but is now proven by a find in surface sediments at the southwestern slope of the recently discovered Mound 11, a mud volcano located 30 km arcward from the trench, on the continental slope off Costa Rica at 1000 m water depth. The gas hydrate content of the recovered core was up to 60% and consisted mainly of methane hydrate. The δ13C (−45.2‰ to −43.3‰ PDB) and δD (−125‰ to −143‰ SMOW) values of methane from sampled hydrates indicate a deep (thermogenic) source of fossil methane generated by degradation of organic matter within the subducted slab. Near surface faults and deeply cutting faults, identified in multichannel seismic reflection profiles, provide pathways for fluid migration through the ∼6 km thick margin wedge into the ∼1 km of overlying terrigenous sediments. Mound 11 overlies a bottom simulating reflection at 340 m bsf and transport of sediment and methane-rich fluids from greater depth through the gas hydrate stability zone is suggested. The upper core segment (0–150 cm bsf) is composed of mud breccia and fluid channels, which indicates mud expulsion from Mound 11. Anaerobic methane oxidation is indicated by sulfate and methane depletion, hydrogen sulfide formation and an increase of alkalinity in the interface between the upper sediment unit and the lower laminated sediment unit where the gas hydrate is interbedded. The seawater-like sulfate and chloride concentrations and the concave up chloride profile measured in pore water of the upper core unit may rather reflect seawater influx than fluid outflow at this sampling site. The inflow is possibly driven by (episodic) mud and fluid discharge in the center of the mud mound creating shallow convective circulation cells.

    Dalrymple Trough: an active oblique-slip ocean-continent boundary in the northwest Indian Ocean (2008)

    In:  Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 272 . pp. 437-445.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-09-23
    Description: The Dalrymple Trough marks part of the transform plate boundary between India and Arabia in the northern Arabian Sea. Oblique extension is presently active across this portion of the boundary at a rate of a few millimetres per year, and seismic reflection profiles across the trough confirm that it is an extensional structure. We present new swath bathymetric and wide-angle seismic data from the trough. The bathymetric data show that the trough is bounded by a single, steep, 3-km-high scarp to the southeast and a series of smaller, en-echelon scarps to the northwest. Wide-angle seismic data show that a typical oceanic crustal velocity structure is present to the northwest, with a crustal thickness of ~ 6 km. There is an abrupt change in crustal thickness and velocity structure at the northwestern edge of the trough, and the trough itself is underlain by 12-km-thick crust interpreted as thinned continental crust. Therefore we infer that Dalrymple Trough is an unusual obliquely extending plate boundary at which continental crust and oceanic crust are juxtaposed. The extensional deformation is focused on a single major fault in the continental lithosphere, but distributed over a region ~ 60 km wide in the oceanic lithosphere

    Seasonal variability of trace metals in the Lena River and the southeastern Laptev Sea: impact of the spring freshet (2005)
    Elsevier
    In:  Global and Planetary Change, 48 (1-3). pp. 112-125.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-09-13
    Description: The distribution of dissolved and particulate trace metals (Fe, Mn, Cu, Ni, Zn, and Pb) was studied for the first time during the spring high flow period of the Lena River (Arctic Siberia). The results show that concentrations of dissolved metals in the river Lena during the spring high flow in June 1996 (spring freshet) were significantly higher than those reported for the rest of the year. For example the measured average concentration of dissolved Fe (6349 ± 2122 nM) during the high flow is approximately 7 times higher than previously published concentrations measured during the summer months. Dissolved Fe concentrations in the freshwater (salinity 〈 1) are positively correlated with the amount of suspended particulate matter (SPM) (p 〈 0.01), but negatively correlated with the Fe concentrations in SPM (p 〈 0.01). The data showed that the aluminium-normalized concentrations of particulate Fe, Mn, Pb, Ni, and Zn in the freshwater are negatively correlated with SPM. This suggests that the mobilization of metals from suspended particulate matter is the driving force for the observed high concentrations of dissolved Fe, Mn, Zn and Pb in the water of the Lena River during the spring freshet. During the high flow period in June about 35% of the total annual flow of the river Lena flows into the Laptev Sea. Previously published metal budgets for the river Lena that did not incorporate data from the spring high flow period, therefore, underestimate the fluxes of dissolved trace metals from the Siberian rivers to the Arctic Ocean. For instance, the estimated input of dissolved Fe in June 1996 is approximately 4.5 times higher than the average annual dissolved Fe input calculated on the basis of summer data. The results of this study demonstrate that the previous evaluations of the trace metal flux of the Lena river–which are based on data obtained from August to October–may underestimate the total riverine input of dissolved trace metals to the Arctic Ocean.

    On the temporal increase of anthropogenic CO2 in the subpolar North Atlantic (2005)
    Elsevier
    In:  Deep Sea Research Part I: Oceanographic Research Papers, 52 . pp. 681-698.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-11-01
    Description: The subpolar North Atlantic (NA) plays a key role in the oceanic uptake of anthropogenic CO2. The availability of a historical high quality data set from the Transient Tracers in the Ocean North Atlantic Study (TTO-NAS) in 1981, together with data from recent studies in 1997 and 1999, makes it possible to assess the temporal increase of anthropogenic CO2 (View the MathML sourceCTant) in the region. We introduce an extension of a previous published empirical approach for estimating temporal increases of View the MathML sourceCTant, which is known as multiple linear regression approach (MLR). The method is based on a multiple linear-regression model employing hydrographic and chemical parameters. The accuracy of the extended MLR calculation (eMLR) proposed here is estimated to be ±3 μmol/kg for a parameterization based on potential temperature, total alkalinity, silicate, and phosphate. Calculated increases of View the MathML sourceCTant (View the MathML sourceΔCTant(PO4)) for the time period 1981–1997 are 1–20 μmol/kg at depths greater than 100 m. The distribution corresponds well to silicate and CFC-12 distributions. Open ocean profiles show a relative minimum between 300 and 1000 m, which is not apparent in profiles of the total View the MathML sourceCTant concentration. The View the MathML sourceΔCTant(PO4) inventory calculation for the northern NA region (40–65°N) yields a change in anthropogenic CO2 storage of 4.2 (±1) pg C over the 16-yr time period 1981–1997. This is equivalent to a mean annual View the MathML sourceCTant increase of 0.27 (±0.06) pg C/yr or more than 10% of the global ocean uptake for this period.

    The Nd isotope signature of Holocene Baltic Mn/Fe precipitates as monitore of climate change during the little Ice-Age (2005)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-09-08
    Description: Neodymium (Nd) isotope profiles were analyzed on two Baltic Mn/Fe precipitates (99/2 and TL1) from shallow water (20 m) of the Mecklenburg Bay. The age range of these Mn/Fe precipitates determined by 226Raex/Ba dating reaches from recent growth back to ∼4300 and 1000 yr BP, respectively. Over this time range, the Nd isotope composition varies from εNd (0) = −13.1 to −17.5 in the selected Baltic precipitates indicating substantial changes in the Nd isotope composition of the Baltic Sea. The lowest εNd values were recorded during the time interval of the Little Ice Age (LIA, AD ∼1350 to 1850). These minimum values indicate either an increase of the input of less radiogenic Nd from Scandinavian Archean-Proterozoic sources (εNd about −22) to the Baltic Sea or a decrease of the input of more radiogenic Nd from continental European sources (εNd about −12) and/or North Sea water (εNd about −10). Variations of both, erosive continental input and North Sea inflow may indicate a direct response of the Nd isotope signal in the Baltic Sea to climate changes during the LIA and be related to cyclic shifts in the atmospheric circulation triggered by the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). Another aspect that possibly influenced the input of trace elements and Nd isotopes into the Baltic Sea is the population development in the circum Baltic area during the LIA. The lowest εNd values also correspond to the medieval demographic crises that led to a significant decrease of agricultural activity and farmland. The reduction of soil erosion and enhanced regrowth of natural vegetation may have changed the amount and proportions of dissolved and suspended particulate matter transported into the Baltic Sea by rivers which in turn may have resulted in a change of the Nd isotope composition of Baltic Sea water.

    40Ar/39Ar geochronology of mafic volcanism in the back-arc region of southern Puna plateau, Argentina (2008)

    In:  Journal of South American Earth Sciences, 26 (1). pp. 1-15.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-09-23
    Description: Late Cenozoic back-arc mafic volcanism in the southern Puna plateau of Argentina offers insights into the state of the mantle under the world’s second largest continental plateau. Previous studies of the mafic magmas in this region proposed a scenario of mantle melting due to lithospheric delamination and/or steepening of the subducting slab. However, few of the centers have been precisely dated, which limits any geodynamic interpretation. We present results of laser incremental-heating 40Ar/39Ar dating of 22 back-arc centers in the southern Puna, with emphasis on the Salar de Antofalla region where volcanic activity was most intense. Three localities yielded ages between 7.3 and 7.0 Ma which, along with 2 previous 7 Ma ages, firmly establishes that back-arc activity began as early as late Miocene. Volcanism continued through the Pleistocene but the peak was in the early Pliocene. This result has important tectonic implications. If, as previously suggested, magma genesis is related to lithospheric delamination, this process was underway by the latest Miocene in the southern Puna. Furthermore, since the mafic back-arc volcanism is considered to mark a change in fault kinematics from compressional to transtensional, the new age constraints indicate that this change took place in the early Pliocene. The spatial and age distributions of the mafic centers indicate that magmatism began, and remained focussed in, a region between Salar de Antofalla and Cerro Galán. This concentration is probably structurally controlled, as it corresponds to the intersection of the NW–SE striking Archibarca lineament zone and the sets of NNE–SSW faults that run parallel to the Salar de Antofalla basin.

    Publication Date: 2016-10-04
    Description: The Vema Channel acts as a major conduit for the equatorward spreading of Antarctic Bottom Water between the Argentine and Brazil Basins. For almost two years the thermal stratification above its saddle depth (4660 m) – called Vema Sill – was recorded by moored thermistors and current meters. The lowest 490 m of the water column was instrumented to monitor the well-developed benthic boundary layer of Antarctic Bottom Water. The latter can be subdivided into Weddell Sea Deep Water on the sea bed and lower Circumpolar Deep Water above it. The data show fluctuations on various scales including periods, each about 1–2 weeks long, when the abyssal stratification virtually disappeared. Assuming a stable ratio between density and temperature, time series of bulk Richardson numbers are estimated from temperature and current shear data. The results suggest a potential for intermittent episodes of locally generated vertical mixing.

    Publication Date: 2019-09-23
    Description: Sediment dynamics on the Laptev Sea shelf (Siberian Arctic), which is ice-covered for about 9 months a year, were studied for a I-year period. Two oceanographic bottom-mooring stations equipped with an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) and a Conductivity Temperature Depth meter (CTD) were deployed on the eastern Laptev Sea shelf between August 1998 and September 1999. Thus, for the first time information on current, suspended particulate matter (SPM), and bottom temperature variations were provided throughout one seasonal cycle for a Siberian shelf sea. The data set indicates that during and shortly after the river-ice breakup (June-early July) sediment transport is dominated by riverine input and transport onto the eastern Laptev Sea shelf within the surface layer beneath the fast ice. Under ice-free conditions (mid-July to September), SPM is mainly trapped on the eastern Laptev Sea shelf SPM discharged by the Lena River is transported within the surface layer to the mid-shelf where it sinks through the water column into the bottom nepheloid layer only to be carried back onto the inner shelf again together with newly resuspended bottom material. On the inner shelf the material is partly transported back into the surface layer by turbid mixing and carried out onto the mid-shelf again. During freeze-up (October), SPM in the surface layer on the inner shelf is incorporated into newly formed ice and transported with the ice over the continental margin into the deep Arctic Ocean. Beneath the ice cover (November to June-July) SPM slowly sinks and sediment transport is of minor importance on the inner shelf. However, beneath the polynya, bottom material is resuspended during storm events and transported onto the inner shelf where it temporarily settles. The study suggests a quasi-estuarine sediment circulation on the eastern Laptev Sea shelf, especially during ice-free conditions, and sediment export dominated by ice rather than bottom transport

    A global survey of perfluorinated acids in the oceans (2005)

    In:  Marine Pollution Bulletin, 51 . pp. 658-668.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-10-05
    Description: Perfluorinated acids and their salts have emerged as an important class of global environmental contaminants. Biological monitoring surveys conducted using tissues of marine organisms reported the occurrence of perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) and related perfluorinated compounds in biota from various seas and oceans, including the Arctic and the Antarctic Oceans. Occurrence of perfluorinated compounds in remote marine locations is of concern and indicates the need for studies to trace sources and pathways of these compounds to the oceans. Determination of sub-parts-per-trillion (ng/L) or parts-per-quadrillion (pg/L) concentrations of aqueous media has been impeded by relatively high background levels arising from procedural or instrumental blanks. Our research group has developed a reliable and highly sensitive analytical method by which to monitor perfluorinated compounds in oceanic waters. The method developed is capable of detecting PFOS, perfluorohexanesulfonate (PFHS), perfluorobutanesulfonate (PFBS), perfluorooctanoate (PFOA), perfluorononanoate (PFNA), and perfluorooctanesulfonamide (PFOSA) at a few pg/L in oceanic waters. The method was applied to seawater samples collected during several international research cruises undertaken during 2002–2004 in the central to eastern Pacific Ocean (19 locations), South China Sea and Sulu Seas (five), north and mid Atlantic Ocean (12), and the Labrador Sea (20). An additional 50 samples of coastal seawater from several Asian countries (Japan, China, Korea) were analyzed. PFOA was found at levels ranging from several thousands of pg/L in water samples collected from coastal areas in Japan to a few tens of pg/L in the central Pacific Ocean. PFOA was the major contaminant detected in oceanic waters, followed by PFOS. Further studies are being conducted to elucidate the distribution and fate of perfluorinated acids in oceans.

    Description: Four volcanic ash-bearing marine sediment cores and one ash-free reference core were examined during research cruise RV Meteor 54/2 offshore Nicaragua and Costa Rica to investigate the chemical composition of pore waters related to volcanic ash alteration. Sediments were composed of terrigenous matter derived from the adjacent continent and contained several distinct ash layers. Biogenic opal and carbonate were only minor components. The terrigenous fraction was mainly composed of smectite and other clay minerals while the pore water composition was strongly affected by the anaerobic degradation of particulate organic matter via microbial sulphate reduction. The alteration of volcanic matter showed only a minor effect on major element concentrations in pore waters. This is in contrast to prior studies based on long sediment cores taken during the DSDP, where deep sediments always showed distinct signs of volcanic ash alteration. The missing signal of ash alteration is probably caused by low reaction rates and the high background concentration of major dissolved ions in the seawater-derived pore fluids. Dissolved silica concentrations were, however, significantly enriched in ash-bearing cores and showed no relation to the low but variable contents of biogenic opal. Hence, the data suggest that silica concentrations were enhanced by ash dissolution. Thus, the dissolved silica profile measured in one of the sediment cores was used to derive the in-situ dissolution rate of volcanic glass particles in marine sediments. A non-steady state model was run over a period of 43 kyr applying a constant pH of 7.30 and a dissolved Al concentration of 0.05 μM. The kinetic constant (AA) was varied systematically to fit the model to the measured dissolved silica-depth profile. The best fit to the data was obtained applying AA = 1.3 × 10−U9 mol of Si cm− 2 s− 1. This in-situ rate of ash dissolution at the seafloor is three orders of magnitude smaller than the rate of ash dissolution determined in previous laboratory experiments. Our results therefore imply that field investigations are necessary to accurately predict natural dissolution rates of volcanic glasses in marine sediments.

    Quantitative assessment of chemical and mineralogical changes due to progressive low-temperature alteration of East Pacific Rise basalts from 0 to 9 Ma (2005)

    Description: Many studies have focused on low-temperature alteration of the oceanic crust, nevertheless little is known about the initial processes of low-temperature alteration and their influence on the mineralogical and chemical composition of the oceanic crust once it leaves the spreading axis. The lack of such studies is primarily related to the difficulty of recovering samples representative of this initial alteration style. Such information is nevertheless important not only for crust–ocean mass-balances but also to characterize an important input to the subduction zones. We have studied dredged basalts from the eastern flank of the East Pacific Rise at 14°15′S, concentrating on the products of a single spreading segment in a corridor perpendicular to the spreading axis and covering a range of crustal ages from 0 to 9 Ma. Electron microprobe, X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction and ICP-MS analyses have been carried out to examine the mineralogical and chemical changes in the basalts which make up the surface of the upper crust caused by low-temperature alteration. Fresh rocks were sampled at the ridge axis; off-axis basalts show features of progressive alteration. Celadonite is the main alteration component in 0.12–4.6 Ma old rocks, whereas phillipsite is more abundant in rocks older than 4.6 Ma. Changing compositions of secondary minerals, progressive sealing of fractures and the occurrence of more alteration rinds on older rocks show evidence for a slight change in redox conditions, from an oxidizing, water-dominated to a more reducing, rock-dominated environment with time. Iron oxyhydroxide and celadonite are the first alteration products, partly replaced or covered by saponite under more reducing conditions. The Fe necessary for the formation of these minerals is furnished by the dissolution of glass and the breakdown of olivine. Phillipsite is present in fractures and veins in rocks older than 1 Ma. Analyses also indicate an illite–smectite mixed layered mineral which is believed to be an intermediate between saponite and celadonite and small amounts of a chlorite/smectite mixed layered mineral. All samples are characterized by the lack of minerals formed by hydrothermal processes. We conclude that the alteration took place under seawater-dominated conditions at low temperature. A comparison of trace element analyses from altered whole rock samples and their appendant fresh glass chips provides a record of element mobility during alteration. Off-axis basalts show significant uptakes of Rb, Cs and Ba which are supplied by seawater and incorporated in or on secondary minerals. An enrichment of U is also apparent and appears to be especially strong when alteration conditions are oxidative. K2O is also gained in all altered off-axis basalts, believed to be linked to the formation of celadonite. However, the volume of rock being altered is so small relative to the volume of the oceans that this scavenging has no noticeable effect on the composition of the oceans. The composition of the oceanic crust, on the other hand, is affected significantly.

    Water mass processes on Arctic shelves as revealed from δ18O of H2O (2005)

    Description: The water masses of the Arctic Ocean shelf regions are significantly influenced by river water and sea-ice processes. Since river water is highly depleted in δ18O relative to marine waters as well as to sea-ice, the δ18O composition and salinity of a water sample can be used to separate the different water sources. In this paper the freshwater distribution on the Kara, Laptev and the Beaufort shelves are discussed based on δ18O and salinity data. Depending on the average depth the observed fields of salinity and δ18O values are different for each region. But comparing the overall δ18O and salinity correlations reveals a remarkable similarity for these three Arctic shelf regions. On all discussed Arctic shelves bottom water masses are formed by sea-ice processes. And remnants of these bottom water masses are found on all shelves during summer at a similar salinity of about 30.

    Towards improved understanding of the diversity and abundance patterns of the mid-ocean ridge macro- and megafauna (2008)

    Description: Mid-ocean ridges are vast features of all oceans but their fauna and ecological significance remain poorly understood. Ridge studies in recent decades were understandably biased in favour of the newly discovered chemosynthetic ecosystems. Investigations of photosynthesis-based systems and communities associated with ridges were scattered and few despite their much larger scale and significance for ocean productivity patterns and biogeography and for the management of human activities on the high seas. This knowledge gap was recognised by the Census of Marine Life (CoML) programme and led to the initiation of a dedicated field project on non-chemosynthetic systems and communities of a mid-ocean ridge. The present collection of articles highlights results from the project ‘Patterns and Processes of the Ecosystems of the northern Mid-Atlantic’ (MAR-ECO), the CoML field project that aims to explore the diversity and distribution patterns of photosynthesis-based communities of mid-ocean ridges by a range of classical and new technologies and methods. In 2003–2005, comprehensive investigations were conducted on pelagic and epibenthic macro- and megafauna of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge between Iceland and the Azores. Several research vessels participated in the first field phase of the project, but the majority of the results were from a 2-month international expedition on the Norwegian vessels R.V. G.O. Sars and the chartered fishing vessel M.S. Loran in 2004. This introduction explains the background and goals of MAR-ECO, summarizes the strategies and sampling efforts, and briefly introduces future plans as the project enters a second field phase in 2007–2009.

    Postglacial to Holocene history of the Laptev Sea continental margin : paleoenvironmental implications of benthic assemblages (2008)

    Details

    Description: Bivalves, ostracods and foraminifers were studied in four AMS14C dated sediment cores from the Laptev Sea: one from the upper continental slope with a date of 15.8cal.ka in its basal part, and three from river palaeovalleys on the outer-middle shelf aging back to 12.7–11.2cal.ka. At the continental margin, high relative proportions of Cassidulina neoteretis, planktic foraminifers and ostracods with North Atlantic affinities provide evidence on past inflows of Atlantic-derived waters, whereas freshwater inputs, downslope sediment movements and ice rafting are documented by the presence of euryhaline, brackish-water and freshwater ostracods and low planktic/benthic ratio. Atlantic-derived subsurface waters reached the studied site by ca. 16cal.ka, i.e. prior to the establishment of the pathway across the Barents Sea shelf further west. The strongest Atlantic influence occurred prior to 12cal.ka and after 3cal.ka. A cold, low-nutrient marine environment with a coastal polynya setting is reconstructed for the time 16–14cal.ka, whereas between 12.7 and 11.2cal.ka freshwater influence reached its maximum during a time when the outer shelf was flooded and brackish-water assemblages inhabited the estuarine parts of palaeovalleys. Following the temporal and spatial pattern of sea-level rise, these fluvially affected assemblages rapidly transformed into shallow-marine faunas. After ca. 3.5–3cal.ka, well-pronounced changes in the benthic communities indicate a general climate cooling characterized by a more intensified surface and bottom water circulation regime.
