Ip25: A Molecular Proxy Of Sea-Ice Duration In The Bering And Chukchi Seas, Cecily J. Sharko
Ip25: A Molecular Proxy Of Sea-Ice Duration In The Bering And Chukchi Seas, Cecily J. Sharko
Masters Theses 1911 - February 2014
Seasonal sea ice is an important component of the global climate system. Sea ice influences exchange rates of heat, moisture, and gas between the ocean and atmosphere. Sea ice also plays critical roles in high latitude ecosystems and marine carbon cycling. Records of sea-ice extent and duration in the Arctic Ocean and its marginal seas through geologic time are valuable resources for better understanding the intricate relationships between sea ice and climate.
IP25, a compound biosynthesized exclusively by diatoms associated with sea ice, has been used to construct qualitative records of sea ice from sediment cores in some areas of …

Exploring Isotopic Signatures Of Lake El'gygytgyn Sediments For Evidence Of Anoxia And Methane Cycling Over The Past 50,000 Years, Addie R. Holland
Masters Theses 1911 - February 2014
Compound specific isotope analysis of lake sediments is a powerful tool in deciphering evidence of changing climatic and paleoenvironmental conditions through time. Isotopic analysis of Lake El’gygytgyn pilot sediment cores, PG1351 and LZ1029, have contributed increased insight into paleoenvironmental interpretations regarding conditions of permanent ice cover and water column anoxia at the lake over the past 250 kyr. Bulk sediment δ15N was measured as a proxy for denitrification and a possible indicator for water column anoxia intensity. However, it appears that insufficient quantities of water column nitrate to fuel denitrification make its correlation with anoxia intensity ineffective. In pilot core …
