&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/663096&amp;quot; target=&amp;quot;_blank&amp;quot;&amp;gt;DIC and Isotopes&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; Methods and Sampling: &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Sediment cores were recovered using the following coring equipment:&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
Ocean Instruments multicorer MC-800 (SP1215) and MC-400 (NH1319)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
OSU Gravity Core (6 meters long, 4 inch diameter)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
OSU “Big Bertha” Core (12 meters long, 4 inch diameter)&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Multi cores were immediately transferred into a refrigerated van. They were then extruded in an N2 atmosphere within 2-12 hours of recovery.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Gravity cores were sectioned on deck immediately upon recovery. All but one of the gravity cores were secured horizontally on the ship’s deck and sampled from the bottom of the core upwards by sequentially removing 10 cm sediment intervals by cutting the core liner using a pipe cutter. One core was secured vertically and sampled similarly, but from the top down. Freshly exposed sediment was immediately subsampled using 3- to 60-mL push corers made of plastic syringes with the tips removed. All subcores, except those for methane (see next paragraph), were immediately transferred to a N2 filled glove bag in the refrigerated van for further processing.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;All sediment aliquots were centrifuged in polycarbonate tubes at 4 degrees C. The supernatant was collected into all-polypropylene syringes with stainless steel needles, and filtered through disposable 0.2 um nylon filters with 0.7 um GF/F pre-filter (Whatman 6870-2502). The first 3 mL were discarded. To minimize the DOC blank, 100 mL of UV-irradiated deionized water were pushed through each disposable filter prior to use. DIC samples for 13C and 14C abundances were immediately flame-sealed under a stream of ultra-high-purity (UHP) N2 into 10-15 mL borosilicate tubes spiked with HgCl2 following (McCorkle et al., 1985). DOC samples for concentration determination only were acidified and ampoulated under a stream of UHP N2 gas and refrigerated. DOC samples for isotopic analyses were frozen without acidification in 20 mL scintillation vials with Teflon-lined caps. Samples for methane concentration and delta 13C values were immediately placed into 20-mL serum glass vials (Wheaton) containing a 5-mm glass bead, basified, sealed with a blue butyl rubber septum (Chemglass), homogenized, crimp sealed, and stored upside down at room temperature until analysis. For analysis of delta 14C values of methane, 150- and 250-mL sediment aliquots were immediately placed into 250- and 500-mL glass media bottles (VWR) containing 80 and 100 mL of 1 M KOH solution, respectively. The bottles were immediately capped with #7 rubber stoppers, sealed thoroughly with electric tape, screw capped, and stored upside down at room temperature until analysis. Centrifuge tubes containing sediment were frozen.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;All tools and parts were first cleaned with household dish soap, then acid rinsed (exclusive of metal parts). Plasticware was air dried; glassware and metal tools were baked at 550 degrees C for 4 hours. Bottom-water DIC and DOC samples were collected with a Go Flo bottle following DOE (1994) and Beaupré et al. (2007), respectively.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

                            <gco:CharacterString>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Description from NSF award abstract:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Organic carbon (Corg) remineralization rates are typically highest near the sediment-water interface, and decrease with depth as labile substrates and strong oxidants are consumed. However, in many ocean margin sediments, at the depth interval where sulfate (SO4=) is exhausted and CH4 concentrations begin to increase (the sulfate-methane transition; SMT), SO4= reduction rates typically show strong sub-surface maxima, indicating locally-enhanced microbial activity and carbon turnover. These hot spots for SO4= reduction are generally attributed to anaerobic oxidation of CH4 by SO4=, but a number of studies have found an excess of SO4= reduction over CH4 oxidation, indicating the presence of a major additional SO4= sink in the SMT.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this project a research team from San Francisco State University, Florida State University, and Old Dominion University will investigate the nature of this SO4= sink by combining cutting-edge porewater compositional analyses -- del-14C and del-13C of CH4, dissolved organic and inorganic carbon (DOC and DIC), and 1H-NMR on DOC -- with numerical reactive transport modeling. They will test the hypothesis that the SMT is an oxidation front for not just CH4, but also for DOC that is produced deeper in the sediment column, and transported upward into the SMT. They will also test the idea that not all of this DOC is oxidized in the SMT, and that some reaches the surface sediments, and represents a source of 14C-depleted (pre-aged) DOC to the oceans. The premise is that DOC production from Corg is enhanced in methanogenic sediments due to an uncoupling in the anaerobic food chain between terminal metabolism and fermentation reactions involved in the overall Corg remineralization process. The work will focus on two ocean margin sites, Santa Monica Basin and Santa Barbara Basin, which despite their geographic proximity, appear to have different CH4 dynamics in the deep sediments.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This study should result in a greater understanding of the role of sub-surface sediments in the overall benthic Corg remineralization process, and in the exchange of major elements between the sea floor and the water column. It will also allow testing of the hypothesis that marine sediments are sources of 14C-depleted, recalcitrant DOC to the overlying water column, thereby addressing a problem that has perplexed chemical oceanography for several decades: what factors control the 14C signature of DOC in the deep oceans?&lt;/p&gt;</gco:CharacterString>

                <gco:CharacterString>&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Sediment cores were recovered using the following coring equipment:&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
Ocean Instruments multicorer MC-800 (SP1215) and MC-400 (NH1319)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
OSU Gravity Core (6 meters long, 4 inch diameter)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
OSU “Big Bertha” Core (12 meters long, 4 inch diameter)&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Multi cores were immediately transferred into a refrigerated van. They were then extruded in an N2 atmosphere within 2-12 hours of recovery.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Gravity cores were sectioned on deck immediately upon recovery. All but one of the gravity cores were secured horizontally on the ship’s deck and sampled from the bottom of the core upwards by sequentially removing 10 cm sediment intervals by cutting the core liner using a pipe cutter. One core was secured vertically and sampled similarly, but from the top down. Freshly exposed sediment was immediately subsampled using 3- to 60-mL push corers made of plastic syringes with the tips removed. All subcores, except those for methane (see next paragraph), were immediately transferred to a N2 filled glove bag in the refrigerated van for further processing.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;All sediment aliquots were centrifuged in polycarbonate tubes at 4 degrees C. The supernatant was collected into all-polypropylene syringes with stainless steel needles, and filtered through disposable 0.2 um nylon filters with 0.7 um GF/F pre-filter (Whatman 6870-2502). The first 3 mL were discarded. To minimize the DOC blank, 100 mL of UV-irradiated deionized water were pushed through each disposable filter prior to use. DIC samples for 13C and 14C abundances were immediately flame-sealed under a stream of ultra-high-purity (UHP) N2 into 10-15 mL borosilicate tubes spiked with HgCl2 following (McCorkle et al., 1985). DOC samples for concentration determination only were acidified and ampoulated under a stream of UHP N2 gas and refrigerated. DOC samples for isotopic analyses were frozen without acidification in 20 mL scintillation vials with Teflon-lined caps. Samples for methane concentration and delta 13C values were immediately placed into 20-mL serum glass vials (Wheaton) containing a 5-mm glass bead, basified, sealed with a blue butyl rubber septum (Chemglass), homogenized, crimp sealed, and stored upside down at room temperature until analysis. For analysis of delta 14C values of methane, 150- and 250-mL sediment aliquots were immediately placed into 250- and 500-mL glass media bottles (VWR) containing 80 and 100 mL of 1 M KOH solution, respectively. The bottles were immediately capped with #7 rubber stoppers, sealed thoroughly with electric tape, screw capped, and stored upside down at room temperature until analysis. Centrifuge tubes containing sediment were frozen.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;All tools and parts were first cleaned with household dish soap, then acid rinsed (exclusive of metal parts). Plasticware was air dried; glassware and metal tools were baked at 550 degrees C for 4 hours. Bottom-water DIC and DOC samples were collected with a Go Flo bottle following DOE (1994) and Beaupré et al. (2007), respectively.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;For further details including quality assurance measures for DOC, see Komada et al. (2013) and Komada et al. (2016).

            <gco:CharacterString>PI Supplied Instrument Name:  Instrument Name: Accelerator Mass Spectrometer Instrument Short Name:AMS   Instrument Description: An AMS measures &quot;long-lived radionuclides that occur naturally in our environment. AMS uses a particle accelerator in conjunction with ion sources, large magnets, and detectors to separate out interferences and count single atoms in the presence of 1x1015 (a thousand million million) stable atoms, measuring the mass-to-charge ratio of the products of sample molecule disassociation, atom ionization and ion acceleration.&quot; AMS permits ultra low-level measurement of compound concentrations and isotope ratios that traditional alpha-spectrometry cannot provide.
