Tracing Ocean Processes: From Organic Carbon Oxidation to Age Estimates by Transient Tracers II Posters


Session ID#: 37666

Session Description:
Transient tracers are a group of (chemical) compounds that are conservative in sea-water and have well-established source function over time at the ocean surface, or have well-defined decay-functions.Transient tracers can be used to investigate ocean ventilation, temporal changes of ventilation, time-scales of ocean circulation and processes such as oxygen utilization rates and the storage of anthropogenic carbon in the ocean interior. Heterotrophic transformation of organic matter drives elemental cycles in aquatic systems. A wide range of transformations affects the ability of microorganisms to assimilate this complex pool of organic matter, including physical aggregation/disaggregation, sorption/desorption, and encapsulation within minerals, photochemical reactions, processing or repackaging by protists and zooplankton, and hydrolysis by extracellular enzymes. These transformations can occur across various groups of microorganisms ranging from bacteria, phytoplankton, protists, to zooplankton. Furthermore, interactions of diverse compound classes within microorganisms can affect the metabolism of those compounds, resulting in phenomena including the priming effect or co-metabolism. This session will discuss methods to quantify transport and ventilation time-scales as well as organic carbon oxidation processes.
