Portholes into the deep
Ocean memory embraces the idea that the ocean retains, processes, and expresses information across a range of timescales, from moments to millennia. The Ocean Memory Project brings together scientists, artists, and scholars to investigate this notion from a transdisciplinary perspective, integrating empirical research with creative expression. Here, our scientific and artistic efforts center on the Lost City hydrothermal field, an otherworldly si…
Towards Organic Carbon Isotope Records from Stalagmites
Speleothem organic matter can be a powerful tracer for past environmental conditions and karst processes. Carbon isotope measurements (δ 13 C and 14 C) in particular can provide crucial information on the provenance and age of speleothem organic matter, but are challenging due to low concentrations of organic matter in stalagmites. Here, we present a method development study on extraction and isotopic characterization of speleothem organic matter…
Rapid 14 C Analysis of Dissolved Organic Carbon in Non-Saline Waters
The radiocarbon content of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in rivers, lakes, and other non-saline waters can provide valuable information on carbon cycling dynamics in the environment. DOC is typically prepared for 14 C analysis by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) either by ultraviolet (UV) oxidation or by freeze-drying and sealed tube combustion. We present here a new method for the rapid analysis of 14 C of DOC using wet chemical oxidation (W…
C Contamination Testing in Natural Abundance Laboratories
Substances enriched with radiocarbon can easily contaminate samples and laboratories used for natural abundance measurements. We have developed a new method using wet chemical oxidation for swabbing laboratories and equipment to test for 14 C contamination. Here, we report the findings of 18 months’ work and more than 800 tests covering studies at multiple locations. Evidence of past and current use of enriched 14 C was found at all but one locat…
