Fossilization and degradation of archaeal intact polar tetraether lipids in deeply buried marine sediments (Peru Margin).
Glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol tetraether (GDGT) lipids are part of the cellular membranes of Thaumarchaeota, an archaeal phylum composed of aerobic ammonia oxidizers, and are used in the paleotemperature proxy TEX86 . GDGTs in live cells possess polar head groups and are called intact polar lipids (IPL-GDGTs). Their transformation to core lipids (CL) by cleavage of the head group was assumed t...
متن کاملHigh-Frequency Scattering from Water Saturated Sandy Sediments: Laboratory Study
Reported measurements of seabed scattering are largely confined to relatively low frequencies, up to 300 kHz, see, e.g., [Jackson and Richardson] and references therein. Still higher frequencies, up to a few megahertz, are used in seafloor imagery (e.g., in pencil-beam sonars), particularly to observe dynamic processes at the seafloor in shallow water. From the physics of sound-sediment interac...
متن کاملA laboratory experiment on the behaviour of soil-derived core and intact polar GDGTs in aquatic environments
We have performed incubation experiments in order to examine the behaviour of soil-derived branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether (brGDGT) membrane lipids upon entering an aquatic environment and to evaluate the processes that potentially take place during their fluvial transport from land to sea. We incubated a soil from the Rakaia River catchment on the South Island of New Zealand usin...
متن کاملLaboratory Investigations and Numerical Modeling of Loss Mechanisms in Sound Propagation in Sandy Sediments
During the Sediment Acoustics Experiment 2004 (SAX04), extensive efforts were made to determine the size distribution, spatial distribution, shape, and composition of shell hash and other objects in the sediment that were larger than the average sand grain size. This data will be used in conjunction with other environmental measurements to model the scattering from, and penetration into the sed...
متن کاملFiddler crab control of cordgrass primary production in sandy sediments
The cordgrass Spartina alterniflora Loisel is a foundation species critical to the establishment and maintenance of western Atlantic salt marshes. Although the factors regulating cordgrass growth along sheltered, fine-sediment shorelines have been exhaustively studied, less is known about the mechanisms that maintain cordgrass production in high-energy marshes characterized by sandy substrates....
