项目摘要
Atmospheric dust and sediment serve as valuable tracers of past Earth and ocean processes because their geochemical compositions reflect their bedrock parent material. Scientists use the compositions of sediments and dust as a ‘fingerprint’, linking materials at downstream sites, such as ice and sediment cores, back to their sources. Through geochemical fingerprinting, scientists have gained insight into the causes and impacts of abrupt climate changes, the stability of ice sheets and their potential contributions to sea level rise, and the mechanisms by which ocean and atmospheric circulation patterns change. This project aims to harness the capabilities of two different techniques used to determine sediment provenance. The approach will allow the team to address critical questions regarding past wind patterns around Antarctica, the roles of different dust sources in supplying nutrients to the Southern Ocean, and the behavior of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet during the last interglacial warm period. In addition, the method has the potential to be applied to extraterrestrial materials such as from the Mars Mission and Moon rocks. Geochemical tracing of dust and other sediment sources is a powerful approach that aids in reconstructing past atmosphere, ocean, and ice-sheet dynamics. However, in some regions such as the Southern Hemisphere, even multi-variate approaches such as those using strontium, neodymium, and lead isotopes yield ambiguous results due to overlapping source-area compositions. The team has found that lead isotopes add great value in distinguishing sources and that combining these with potassium/argon geochronology provides significant additional constraints on sediment provenance. The added value is due to the relative ease of resetting potassium/argon ages during subsequent geologic events such as crystallization of new minerals during diagenesis, or by heating, with resetting occurring at lower temperatures than other isotopic systems. The team will develop and test the proposed approach using rock and mineral standards and fine-grained sediments, then apply it to ice-core dust samples from deaccessioned ice cores and dust from the Last Glacial Maximum at key sites. Beyond the broader scientific impact of this new approach, the project will provide opportunities for Colby College undergraduates to experience complete immersion in the world of discovery, working both in Dr. Bess Koffman’s geochemistry lab at Colby and at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University, where they will engage with a wider cohort of students from around the country and have access to state-of-the-art analytical facilities.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
大气尘埃和沉积物是过去地球和海洋过程的宝贵示踪剂,因为它们的地球化学成分反映了它们的基岩母质。科学家利用沉积物和尘埃的成分作为“指纹”,将下游地点的物质(如冰和沉积物核心)与其来源联系起来。通过地球化学特征分析,科学家们深入了解了气候突变的原因和影响、冰盖的稳定性及其对海平面上升的潜在影响,以及海洋和大气环流模式变化的机制。该项目旨在利用两种不同技术的能力来确定沉积物来源。该方法将使研究小组能够解决有关南极洲周围过去风模式的关键问题,不同灰尘来源在向南大洋提供营养物质方面的作用,以及南极西部冰盖在最后一次间冰期温暖时期的行为。此外,该方法有可能被应用于地球外的材料,如从火星使命和月球岩石。地球化学追踪尘埃和其他沉积物来源是一种强有力的方法,有助于重建过去的大气,海洋和冰盖动力学。然而,在某些地区,如南半球,即使是多变量的方法,如使用锶,钕和铅同位素产生模糊的结果,由于重叠的源区成分。研究小组发现,铅同位素在区分来源方面具有很大的价值,将其与钾/氩地质年代学相结合,对沉积物的来源提供了重要的额外限制。增加的价值是由于在随后的地质事件中,如成岩作用期间新矿物的结晶,或通过加热,重置发生在比其他同位素系统更低的温度下,重置钾/氩年龄相对容易。该团队将使用岩石和矿物标准和细粒沉积物开发和测试拟议的方法,然后将其应用于从关键地点的末次冰期最大期的冰芯和灰尘中提取的冰芯灰尘样本。除了这种新方法更广泛的科学影响之外,该项目还将为科尔比学院的本科生提供机会,体验完全沉浸在发现的世界中,在贝斯·科夫曼博士位于科尔比的地球化学实验室和拉蒙特-多尔蒂地球实验室工作。哥伦比亚大学地球天文台,在那里,他们将与来自全国各地的更广泛的学生群体接触,并有机会接触到最新的艺术分析设施。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命,并已被认为是值得通过评估使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准的支持。
