Nitrogen Recycling across the Mariana Subduction Zone: a Coupled Study of Serpentinized Pe — NSF Award to Woods Hole Oceanographic

Nitrogen (N) is an extremely important nutrient and is often the limiting nutrient in ecosystem productivity. Earth's N cycle is poorly understood, particularly the exchange between the surface and deep interior driven by plate tectonics. The project will investigate N cycling through a subduction zone.

AbstractNitrogen (N) is an extremely important nutrient and is often the limiting nutrient in ecosystem productivity. Earth's N cycle is poorly understood, particularly the exchange between the surface and deep interior driven by plate tectonics. The project will investigate N cycling through a subduction zone. Subduction zones are the main site of N and other volatile element recycling to the deep interior. The project will focus on the forearc and backarc regions of the Mariana Island Arc using existi
