CAREER: Constraining the high-latitude ocean carbon cycle: Leveraging the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) Global Arrays as marine biogeochemical time series
<p><em><strong>NSF Award Abstract:</strong></em><br />
The ocean absorbs a large fraction of the atmospheric carbon dioxide generated by the burning of fossil fuels. Much of this uptake occurs in high latitude (polar) regions of the ocean. However, current monitoring capabilities in the polar ocean are limited. The Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) aims to address this need by providing 25 years of continuous physical and biogeochemical sensor data from autonomous platforms in the high latitude ocean. This CAREER project will improve understanding of the marine carbon cycle in the high latitude ocean using OOI data. The science team will use biogeochemical data collected by the OOI sensors to monitor long term changes in carbon cycling processes. In addition, this CAREER project includes educational activities to broaden participation in oceanographic research. The lead scientist will develop a new research seminar course to provide training and research opportunities for undergraduate students. A series of educational videos will be created to showcase the use and application of OOI data. The videos will be used in college level courses at three universities. This project will provide training opportunities for eight undergraduate students, two doctoral students, and one postdoctoral researcher.</p>
<p>This CAREER project will utilize marine biogeochemical time series data from Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) locations in the subpolar North Atlantic and subarctic Northeast Pacific to evaluate the relative roles of biological, chemical, and physical processes driving the ocean’s carbon sink. The project seeks to improve the usability of OOI biogeochemical (BGC) sensor data and leverage these marine BGC time series data to determine changes in carbon cycling processes in the subpolar North Atlantic and subarctic Northeast Pacific Oceans. This research is key for predicting long term perturbations due to climate change and for understanding how changes in carbon cycling in these regions will influence carbon sequestration. The objectives of this project are to: 1) quantify the rates and drivers of carbon cycling and long-term carbon sequestration in the subpolar North Atlantic and subarctic Northeast Pacific Oceans and 2) determine the mechanistic controls on the ocean carbon sink due to inter-related biological, chemical, and physical processes over >10 years at each array site. The high temporal resolution BGC data collected by the arrays will improve understanding of the sampling resolution needed to capture key carbon cycling processes and test the hypothesis that short-time scale events during spring phytoplankton blooms and strong winter storms play a significant role in the overall annual carbon cycle. Education activities associated with this CAREER project include a series of educational videos about OOI and use of the data it provides that will be incorporated into undergraduate courses, a new research seminar course for undergraduates, and research opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students as well as a postdoctoral researcher.</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>
