CT24B:
New Approaches to Opening DOM's "Black Box" Using Its Optical and Chemical Properties Posters


Session ID#: 22989

Session Description:
Investigations focusing on chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) – dissolved organic matter (DOM) that absorbs light – and the subset of compounds that further exhibit fluorescence (FDOM) are key in tracing production, turnover and mineralisation of DOM in aquatic environments and resolving its role as a carbon reservoir and microbial substrate within the context of biogeochemical cycling of carbon and other elements. The spectroscopic properties of CDOM and FDOM are increasingly being used as proxies for the chemical composition of DOM in freshwater, estuarine and marine waters, and tracing its mixing and fate. Sensor development and high sampling frequency offer great potential. However, these data also provide numerous analytical challenges, such as linking DOM’s optical properties and chemical composition. This session invites contributions offering insight into methodological developments and novel applications of optical and chemical characterization of DOM from all aquatic environments as well as CDOM’s role in radiative transfer. We welcome contributions that focus on optical signals and biogeochemical properties of DOM at interfaces: terrestrial-aquatic, land-ocean, ocean-atmosphere, benthic-pelagic, dissolved-particulate, water-sediment. We also welcome contributions that utilize remote sensing and in situ monitoring to make connections between optical and chemical properties of organic matter and quantify fluxes across the aforementioned interfaces.
