Barium fluxes in the Alboran Sea (SW Mediterranean): Elemental Tracers as Proxies of Productivity and Environmental Processes.

该提案将促成俄勒冈州立大学与西班牙巴塞罗那大学海洋地球科学综合研究小组的地球化学家之间的合作。这次合作的目的是扩大对1997年6月至1998年5月期间从阿尔博兰海各地点收集的沉积物捕集器材料的一些分析，这是欧共体资助的质量传递和生态系统响应（MATER-II）项目的一部分。颗粒物质钡通量和其他岩石生成示踪剂分析是巴塞罗那大学一名学生的论文的一部分，将在俄勒冈州立大学的设施中完成。该项目的科学目标是更好地了解在不同海洋区域发现的Ba/Corg比率变化的原因。

ABSTRACTOCE-0136853The proposal will enable a collaboration between Oregon State and geochemists of the Consolidated Research Group in Marine Geosciences at the University of Barcelona, Spain. The purpose of this collaboration is to extend some analyses of sediment trap materials collected from sites in the Alboran Sea, during June 1997- May 1998 as part of an EC funded Mass Transfer and Ecosystem Response (MATER-II) project. Particulate matter barium fluxes and other lithogenic tracer analyses, to be part of a dissertation of a student from the University of Barcelona, are to be completed with facilities at Oregon State. The scientific goals of the project are a better understanding of the causes of variability in the Ba/Corg ratios found in different ocean regions.
