SEQUESTRATION and oxidation of carbon at the land-ocean interface

Description:

We will begin with an overview of the general physicochemical features of the land-ocean interface (e.g., river deltas, estuaries, coastal wetlands, tidewater glaciers) around the world, with particular emphasis on the impact of global change on these highly dynamic and productive systems.  We will then proceed with key biogeochemical pathways of these systems, as related to natural and anthropogenic changes. Finally, we will explore the fate and distribution organic carbon using state-of-the-art analytical techniques to measure proxies (e.g., chemical biomarkers, stable isotopes, radiocarbon) that can “track” the burial and oxidation of organic carbon in the coastal zone.
