Under this award, the PIs will attempt to quantify the cold seep barite contribution to the marine sediment record. This will first involve quantifying the cold seep barite (an important carrier of Ba ) contribution to Ba and Ra fluxes within the San Clemente basin. Secondly, the PIs will quantify the effects of this source on the chemical signature of barite in the basin sediments. In general, the idea is to better understand the sources and sinks of Ba and its mass balance in preserved sediments in the San Clemente basin. The study will involve a field component to study the water column, deploy sediment traps, and collect core samples. The laboratory component consists of a very wide variety of elemental and isotopic techniques to characterize sample materials. The results of this general study of the stability, transport and diagenesis of barite has numerous applications to a variety of related questions, and may result in better use of Ba as a paleoproxy of productivity.

根据该奖项，PI将尝试量化对海洋沉积物记录的冷渗水量的贡献。这将首先涉及量化对San Clemente盆地内BA和RA通量的寒冷渗水（BA的重要载体）。其次，PI将量化该来源对盆地沉积物中芳石的化学特征的影响。总的来说，这个想法是更好地了解圣克莱门特盆地保存的沉积物中BA的来源和下沉及其质量平衡。该研究将涉及一个野外组件来研究水柱，部署沉积物陷阱并收集核心样品。该实验室组件由多种元素和同位素技术组成，以表征样品材料。这项关于Barite的稳定性，运输和成岩作用的一般研究的结果在各种相关问题上都有许多应用，并且可能会更好地将BA用作生产力的古质子。
