Collaborative Research: SAFe: Completing the Last Part

在这项研究中，莫斯兰丁海洋实验室的一名研究人员将与加州大学圣克鲁斯的一名科学家合作，完成在NSF资助的铁取样和分析（SAFe）计划中收集的沿海表面样品（C1）的装瓶。 该样品是SAFe计划期间从沿海沃茨中获得的唯一一个样品，其铁浓度和铁络合有机物含量高于其他三个样品。 因此，该样品对于方法开发和作为参考材料非常有用。 此外，将对C1进行分析，以确保其随时间推移的稳定性和均匀性，并提供给海洋科学界。 在长期储存过程中，还将继续定期检查先前收集的SAFe表层样品（S1）和深水样品（D1和D2）的稳定性和均匀性。 这四种参比物质的稳定性和均匀性的所有结果将提供给社区。 至于更广泛的影响，这项工作将向参与微量金属分析的世界科学界提供第四种海水铁参考材料，从而确保进行高质量的铁测量。 此外，这些样品还具有提供各种微量元素的未污染典型海水值的好处，这是GEOTRACES等项目中分析人员的宝贵资源。

ABSTRACTOCE-0622845OCE-0622838In this study, a researcher at Moss Landing Marine Laboratories will collaborate with a scientist at the University of California, Santa Cruz, to complete the bottling of the coastal surface sample (C1) collected during the NSF funded Sampling and Analysis of Fe (SAFe) program. This sample is the only one obtained during the SAFe program from coastal waters with higher concentrations of iron and higher amounts of iron-complexing organic matter than the other three. Thus, this sample will be very useful for method development and as a reference material. In addition, C1 will be analyzed to ensure its stability and homogeneity over time, and be made available to the marine science community. The previously collected SAFe surface sample (S1) and deep-water samples (D1 and D2) will also continue to be periodically checked for stability and homogeneity during the long-term storage process. All results on the stability and homogeneity of these four reference materials will be provided to the community. As regards broader impacts, this work will make available to the worldwide science community involved in trace metal analysis, a fourth reference material for seawater iron, thereby ensuring that high quality iron measurements are made. Also, these samples have the benefit of providing uncontaminated typical seawater values for a variety of trace elements, an invaluable resource to analysts in programs such as GEOTRACES.
