OB24B:
Benthic Controls on the Marine Silica Cycle: Continental Margins to Open Ocean Posters

Session ID#: 85193

Session Description:
From modeling to novel methodological applications, recent studies in marine sediments have altered our conceptualization of the present day marine silica cycle and prompted re-evaluations of paleorecords. These studies take us further towards understanding processes which control silica fluxes from submarine groundwater discharge, lithogenic mineral dissolution, marine silicate weathering, biogenic silica burial among various organisms (diatoms, Rhizaria, sponges), bioturbated sediments, authigenic clay formation, low-temperature basalt alteration, hydrothermal systems, and biological uptake and release of silica by benthic organisms (sponges, benthic diatoms). At the same time, they also highlight how little we still know about the marine sedimentary silica cycle and its coupling with carbon, major seawater constituents (e.g., K , Mg , F-, HCO3-), trace elements (e.g., Li, Ge, REEs), and other nutrients (e.g., N, P, Fe). This session will address topics emphasizing the diagenesis of silica from the land/sea interface to the open ocean.  Field observations, experimental approaches, and modeling studies related to re-evaluation of paleorecords, novel proxy  development, or other understudied portions of the marine silica cycle (e.g., dust dissolution) are welcome. Coupled biogeochemical studies and ones which make explicit benthos€-water column-€atmospheric or climate/CO2 feedback connections in the modern ocean or through geological time are encouraged.
