Total dissolved Cr concentration and isotopic composition in the ETNP from RR1804-05 and KM1919-20 Dataset Description: Methods and Sampling: <p><strong>Sample sites and collection methods:</strong><br />
Seawater samples were collected from cruises R/V Roger Revelle RR1804 and RR1805 from April to May 2018 and R/V Kilo Moana 1919 and 1920 in September 2019. Samples above 750 meters from both cruises were collected in 5-liter (L) acid-cleaned Teflon-coated external-spring "Niskin-type" bottles (Ocean Test Equipment) on a powder-coated trace metal clean rosette (Sea-Bird Electronics). After the recovery of the rosette, the Niskin-like bottles were carried into a laminar-flow clean van, pressurized with nitrogen, and filtered through either 0.2 µm AcroPak® capsule filters or 0.4µm Nuclepore® membrane filters. Samples deeper than 1000 m were collected by regular internal spring closure Niskin bottles, and filtered through 0.2 µm AcroPak® capsule filters. Samples between 300 m to 500 m were collected in both sampling systems and demonstrated no contamination from regular Niskin bottles on both cruises.</p>
<p>The locations of the stations are summarized in Table S1 and Fig. 1 of Huang et al, 2021. Station 23 is off the west coast of Baja California Mexico at the northern fringe of the ODZ, where its oxygen level is never below 2 μM. Station P3 is located at the mouth of the Gulf of California which is controlled by complex and dynamic currents and mesoscale eddies (i.e. Lavin et al., 2003). Station P1 is an onshore station near the west coast of Mexico. The "coring station" is on the continental margin slope, with fully anoxic bottom waters down to the bottom at 460 m. Station 15 is an offshore station near the center of the ETNP ODZ.</p>
<p><strong>Cr Purification and Analysis:</strong><br />
The total dissolved chromium (Cr) and Cr(III) isotope analysis procedures were described in detail in Moos and Boyle (2019) and Huang, et al. (2021), respectively. Briefly, seawater samples were acidified with concentrated HCl to pH ~1.9 after being shipped back to MIT. Lowering the pH reduces Cr(VI) to Cr(III). To accelerate this process, samples were put in a 60°C oven for 7 to 14 days. After that, a 50Cr-54Cr double spike (DS) was added to samples (0.5~1L) in 1 L separatory funnels with a roughly 1:1 double spike/sample Cr ratio. This mixture was put on a shaker table overnight for sample Cr(III) and double spike Cr(III) to reach equilibrium. Cr was then pre-concentrated using a Mg(OH)2 co-precipitation method by adding concentrated NH3⋅H2O. Mg(OH)2 pellets were dissolved in HCl, and the pH of the solution was adjusted to reach a [H+] of 0.02M for column chromatography.</p>
<p>Cr(III) isotope analysis was conducted on frozen samples. The frozen samples were stored in either -80°C or -20°C freezers on the ship and in the lab to preserve Cr redox species. They were taken out of the freezers to thaw at room temperature on a shaker table, minimizing the time for thawing. Immediately after complete thawing, 2 nanomoles (nmol) of the double spike were added into the sample bottles and allowed for sample-double spike equilibrium before transferring the samples to separatory funnels and Mg(OH)2 co-precipitation. Spiked samples were equilibrated for 0.5 - 12 hours. We have shown that this range of equilibration time gives identical [Cr(III)] and δ53Cr(III) (Huang et al., 2021). The procedure afterwards was the same as the total dissolved Cr analysis method above.</p>
<p>Cr(VI) isotope ratios were measured from seawater samples where their Cr(III) had been extracted by Mg(OH)2 co-precipitation. The Cr(III)-extracted seawater samples were filtered through clean 0.4μm Nuclepore® filter membranes to remove any Mg(OH)2 precipitate. They were then acidified to pH 1.9 and put in a 60°C oven for 14 days to accelerate the reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III). They can then be treated as acidified seawater following the same procedure for the total dissolved Cr analysis.</p>
<p>Three-step ion chromatography was conducted to remove all matrix and isobaric ions (Moos and Boyle, 2019). All three chromatography columns use AG1X8 anion exchange resin. The first column is designed to remove major seawater matrix cations. This is done by oxidizing sample Cr(III) to Cr(VI) with ammonium persulfate (APS, (NH4)2S2O8) (1 hour, 110°C) before loading it onto the first column, and following elutation of matrix cations, reducing it back to Cr(III) while retained on the resin by eluting with 2M HNO3 + 2% (v/v) H2O2. This process releases the Cr(III) from the anion resin. The second column is aimed at removing polyatomic sulfur interferences, which come from both the seawater itself and the degradation from the APS in the previous step. The third mini-column was to remove traces of Fe. This is achieved by dissolving the dried-down samples in 6M HCl. In the strong acidic medium, Fe would complex with Cl- to form FeCl4-, which has a high affinity to the anion exchange resin, whereas Cr(III) would pass through. The second and the third columns were each followed by digestion with 100µL aqua regia to decompose resin residues. The final samples were dissolved in 2% (v/v) HNO3 to be analyzed on a multi-collector inductively-coupled-plasma mass spectrometer (MC-ICP-MS).</p>
<p><strong>Blanks and reproducibility:</strong><br />
One quality control seawater sample from the surface Atlantic Ocean has been measured repeatedly with each batch of samples since November 2017. The external reproducibility of δ53Cr and [Cr] are 1.02 ± 0.10‰ (2SD, n=29) and 3.19 ± 0.12 (SD, n=29), respectively. The external reproducibility of low-Cr (i.e. Cr(III) or Cr(VI)) analysis was also determined using the same quality control seawater with a sample Cr to double spike ratio of 0.3. The resulting reproducibility of the δ53Cr and [Cr] of low-Cr samples are 1.02 ± 0.15‰ (2SD, n=9) and 3.24 ± 0.06 nmol/kg (SD, n=9), respectively.</p>
<p>Procedural Cr blanks were on the order of 0.02 nmol, which is comparable to that in Moos and Boyle (2019). Considering a typical Cr amount for total dissolved Cr analysis (2 nmol), the blank is negligible. Therefore, total dissolved Cr data was not corrected for the blank. As for Cr(III) and Cr(VI) analyses, sample Cr varies from 0.44 to 1.66 nmol. The blank accounts for less than 5% of the sample Cr. No correction was made on Cr(III) or Cr(VI) isotope data, either.</p>
<p><strong>Instruments:</strong><br />
All Cr isotope measurements were made on an IsoProbe MC-ICP-MS. A ‘peak-jump’ mode was applied in the Cr isotope analysis on IsoProbe MC-ICP-MS. The plasma mass spectrometer was tuned on an 100 mM NH4S2O8solution with 1 µM Cr to minimize polyatomic sulfur interferences (i.e. 32S16O1H+ on mass 49, 34S16O+ on mass 50 and 34S16O1H+ on mass 51) by lowering the signal of mass 49 (polyatomic) relative to mass 52 (Cr). Each sample was bracketed by two SRM-DS mixtures with the same sample Cr to DS ratio and similar signal level (within 10%). The δ53Cr data was calculated by iteration on each isotope correction and instrumental mass fractionation (β) in an Excel spreadsheet (Moos and Boyle, 2019). The [Cr] concentration was calculated by averaging the results from the single isotope dilution formula using corrected 50Cr and 54Cr.</p>

Cr Isotope Oceanography of the Eastern Tropical North Pacific Ocean

Cr Isotope Oceanography of the Eastern Tropical North Pacific Ocean
<p><em>NSF Award Abstract:</em><br />
Surface seawater equilibrates with the atmosphere and has high oxygen levels, supporting the sea life within it. When this water is cooled in the winter, it becomes denser and sinks into the depths of the ocean, and begins to lose its oxygen as microbes respire while feeding on sinking organic matter falling from the upper ocean. In some regions, such as the eastern tropical North Pacific Ocean, this process leads to such low oxygen concentrations that oxygen-respiring organisms such as fish cannot survive. There is evidence that these regions are growing larger in recent decades raising concerns over the consequences should these trends continue. Geologists looking at ancient sediments have surmised that some periods in the past have had much larger oxygen-depleted portions of the ocean, so we know the possibility exists. We are working on a new tracer of these oxygen deficient zones, the chromium isotope ratio of seawater. Chromium (Cr) is a trace element found throughout the ocean; in oxygen depleted zones it is reduced from the highly soluble 6+ oxidation state (hexavalent Cr, a toxic pollutant at high concentrations) to the relatively insoluble 3+ state (trivalent Cr) which is removed from the ocean attached to sinking particles. This process favors lighter Cr isotopes hence Cr with 24 protons and 28 neutrons is preferentially transformed compared to Cr with 24 protons and 29 neutrons. This transformation can be used to study the extent and activity of oxygen deficient zones in the modern ocean and in geological ancient oceans. There is very little data for Cr isotopes in these environments, and this project will obtain some of the first data with fieldwork sample collection in the eastern tropical North Pacific Ocean and laboratory measurements using plasma mass spectrometry. This research can contribute to sedimentary geological and geochemical understanding. A female Ph.D. student at Massachusetts Institute of Oceanography will participate in the project that will comprise most of her thesis research.</p>
<p>Chromium (Cr) in the aquatic environment exists in two redox states, Cr(III) and Cr(VI). Cr(VI) is thermodynamically stable and the dominant form observed in the oxic ocean, although a few percent of unstable Cr(III) is also observed. Cr(III) is particle-reactive and is scavenged onto sinking particulate matter, whereas Cr(VI) is relatively unreactive. Both species can be taken up by marine biota, although diatoms take up Cr(III) ~20 times faster. Cr(III) has biochemical functionality (e.g. lipid and protein metabolism), whereas Cr(VI) is a toxin that damages cellular biochemistry. When oxygen is less than about 2 uM, Cr(III) becomes the thermodynamically stable species, but slow reaction kinetics lets microbial activity or environmental reductants such as Fe(II) dominate the conversion. Theory and lab experiments indicate that this redox transformation should be accompanied by a stable isotope ratio shift when partial conversion occurs, with Cr(III) enriched in the lighter isotopes. Of the four Cr stable isotopes, this process is observed using the ratio of the most abundant natural isotopes 53Cr and 52Cr while using an enriched double spike of the scarce 50Cr and 54Cr isotopes to correct for laboratory and instrument mass fractionation. This sensitivity to environmental oxygen has inspired geologists to use Cr isotope ratios as an indicator of past oxygenation conditions on earth. But there is little data on the Cr isotope composition in marine aquatic systems with which to ground-truth the geological inferences. We will illuminate the Cr isotope geochemistry of the marine environment with measurements on the horizontal and vertical distribution of Cr concentrations and Cr isotope ratios for the Cr redox species and particulate matter for samples from the eastern tropical North Pacific oxygen deficient zone. Cr isotope ratios are sensitive to biological uptake and regeneration in the oxic ocean and redox processes in oxygen deficient zones (and the latter's consequent outmixing into adjacent oxic zones). This data will be examined in relationship to standard hydrographic properties and nutrients and to the oceanic redox systems of nitrogen, iron, and manganese.</p>
<p>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.</p>
