What drives spatial variability in water-column beryllium-10 inventories? — NSF Award to Columbia University (NY, $819,285)
The distribution of naturally occurring radioactive isotopes in the ocean can be used to understand the movement of water and particles through the ocean. Measurements of these same isotopes in ocean sediments can, in turn, be used to reconstruct ocean processes back through time. The objective of this project is to me

| Abstract | The distribution of naturally occurring radioactive isotopes in the ocean can be used to understand the movement of water and particles through the ocean. Measurements of these same isotopes in ocean sediments can, in turn, be used to reconstruct ocean processes back through time. The objective of this project is to measure the isotope beryllium-10 in samples of seawater, ocean particles, and sediment samples from the South Pacific Ocean. The samples were collected on previous oceanographic expe |
