CT44A:
Biogeochemical Cycles in Oxygen Minimum Zones: Mechanisms, Drivers, and Change II Posters

Session ID#: 85226

Session Description:
Oxygen minimum zones in the coastal and open ocean are spatially expanding and intensifying, with model projections showing continued O2 loss in the future. These regions play a fundamental role in the biogeochemical cycles of elements such as carbon, nitrogen and sulfur as well as trace elements, host microbial communities with diverse metabolic pathways, and act as significant sources and sinks of nutrients and climatically relevant (greenhouse) gases. Yet, significant questions on the nature, drivers and variability of these processes remain. This session aims to build a comprehensive view of oxygen minimum zone biogeochemistry, by inviting researchers who apply a variety of approaches to these problems, from field and laboratory measurements, to -omics based studies, to observational synthesis and numerical models. Specifically, we invite submissions investigating: (1) the distribution, speciation and transformation of macronutrients (N, P, Si), trace metals (e.g. Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd), redox-active elements (e.g. S, Cr, Mo, I) and their isotopes; (2) microbial interactions and their impacts on biogeochemical cycles; (3) processes occurring in and around particle-associated microenvironments, and (4) the physical drivers and variability of these processes. Studies assessing regional or global impacts with large/new datasets, e.g. from international programs such as GEOTRACES, and integrative approaches combining modeling, field/laboratory measurements, and/or microbial and molecular approaches are especially encouraged.
