项目摘要

Understanding climate change on Earth requires significant insight on geochemical and geobiological cycles in both polar regions and many environments in between. Methane is a major focus because of its substantial sediment loading and its high atmospheric heat absorption as a greenhouse gas. While the Arctic has been the primary climate change focus for studies on methane, the Antarctic’s Ross Sea, embedded with a vast ephemeral reservoir of carbon, has been recognized to have an extensive bottom ocean layer – sediment interface that is one of the most rapidly warming regions on Earth. New studies are needed to test the significance of potentially vast transitory gas hydrate carbon reservoirs present in the Ross Sea and provide a thorough assessment of methane reservoirs in the Southern Ocean. The focus on the Ross Sea is justified by recent drilling expeditions, which suggest a susceptibility of the Ross Sea to climatic fluctuations. This large carbon reserve appears to be sealed in the form of gas hydrate as evidenced by wide-spread seismic evidence. Intriguingly, recent recognition of similar seismic data indicates that this carbon reservoir has been underestimated due to carbon storage in deep sediment hydrates.The proposed project will serve as a foundation for improving both future simulations of oceanic carbon and the interpretation of past paleo-oceanographic cycles. In this project, plans are presented to explore a possible extensive gas hydrate reservoir in Ross Sea sediment and determine whether climate change could be influencing this region. This large carbon reserve appears to be held in the form of gas hydrate as evidenced by key seismic data. This indication of warming and ice melting coupled with high thermogenic gas hydrate loadings suggest the Ross Sea is an essential environment to determine contributions of current day and potential future methane, petroleum, and glacial carbon to shallow sediment and water column carbon cycles. The project will compare carbon source(s) and cycling within phytoplankton, glacier ice, shallow sediment carbon, oil sourced from deep sediment, and methane trapped in gas hydrates. Data collection will include seismic profiling, geochemistry, and geo-microbiology parameters conducted via two field campaigns in the Ross Sea, tentatively planned for December/January 2022/2023 and February/April 2024. The diverse team includes experts in geophysics, geochemistry, ocean chemistry, geo-microbiology and isotope geochemistry. Ultimately, the project aims to create baseline data of present-day conditions in the Ross Sea to provide capability for assessing future anthropogenic influence on carbon cycling. In addition to the scientific activities, the project has extensive educational activities, since education related to climate change requires thorough provision of information across all academic levels, government and the public. The project will fund four graduate students and support the training of undergraduate researchers. Results will be disseminated internationally to non-scientific audiences through field blogs, PI Websites, numerous education and outreach activities, as well as being incorporated into graduate and undergraduate courses. Finally, this project will provide training and support for undergraduate, graduate, and early career researchers at a Hispanic Serving Institution.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.
了解地球上的气候变化需要对极地地区和其间许多环境的地球化学和地球生物学循环有深刻的见解。甲烷是一个主要的焦点,因为它的大量沉积物负载和其作为温室气体的高大气热吸收。虽然北极一直是甲烷研究的主要气候变化焦点,但南极的罗斯海嵌入了一个巨大的短暂碳库,被认为具有广泛的海底海洋层-沉积物界面,是地球上变暖最快的地区之一。需要进行新的研究,以测试罗斯海存在的潜在巨大的过渡性天然气水合物碳储层的意义,并对南大洋的甲烷储层进行全面评估。最近的钻探考察证明了对罗斯海的关注是合理的,这表明罗斯海对气候波动的敏感性。这一巨大的碳储量似乎以天然气水合物的形式被封存,广泛分布的地震证据证明了这一点。有趣的是,最近对类似地震数据的认识表明,由于深层沉积物水合物中的碳储存,这一碳库被低估了。拟议的项目将作为改善未来海洋碳模拟和解释过去古海洋学周期的基础。在这个项目中,计划探索罗斯海沉积物中可能存在的广泛的天然气水合物储层,并确定气候变化是否会影响该地区。这一巨大的碳储量似乎是以天然气水合物的形式存在的,这一点得到了关键地震数据的证实。这一变暖和冰融化的迹象,加上高的生热气体水合物负荷表明罗斯海是一个必不可少的环境,以确定当前和潜在的未来甲烷,石油和冰川碳的贡献,浅层沉积物和水柱碳循环。该项目将比较浮游植物、冰川冰、浅层沉积物碳、深层沉积物中的石油和天然气水合物中的甲烷的碳源和循环。数据收集将包括通过罗斯海的两次实地活动进行的地震剖面,地球化学和地质微生物学参数,暂定为2022/2023年12月/1月和2024年2月/4月。这个多元化的团队包括地球物理学、地球化学、海洋化学、地球微生物学和同位素地球化学方面的专家。最终,该项目旨在创建罗斯海目前状况的基线数据,以提供评估未来人类活动对碳循环影响的能力。除了科学活动外,该项目还开展广泛的教育活动,因为与气候变化有关的教育需要向各级学术机构、政府和公众提供全面的信息。该项目将资助四名研究生,并支持本科研究人员的培训。研究结果将通过实地博客、PI网站、众多教育和外联活动在国际上向非科学受众传播,并纳入研究生和本科生课程。最后,该项目将为西班牙裔服务机构的本科生、研究生和早期职业研究人员提供培训和支持。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命,并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估,被认为值得支持。
