Changes in sea ice extent and thickness will have profound implications for productivity, food webs and carbon fluxes at high latitudes, since sea ice biota are a significant source of biogenic matter for the ecosystem. While sea ice is often thought to be a barrier to gas exchange between the ocean and the atmosphere, it more likely functions as a source or sink for climate-active gases such as carbon dioxide and ozone-depleting organohalogens, due in part to activities of microbes embedded in the sea ice matrix. This project brings together experienced US and Swedish investigators to examine the controls by sea-ice biota on the production and degradation of key climate-active gases in the Pacific sector of the Southern Ocean. We hypothesize that 1) the physical properties of the sea-ice environment will determine the community structure and activities of the sea ice biota; 2) the productivity, biomass, physiological state and species composition of ice algae will determine the production of specific classes of organic carbon, including organohalogens; 3) heterotrophic co-metabolism within the ice will break down these compounds to some extent, depending on the microbial community structure and productivity, and 4) the sea ice to atmosphere fluxes of CO2 and organohalogens will be inversely related.

Previous investigations of the role of bioactive metals in regulating denitrification in bacteria from permanently ice-covered Lake Bonney in the Taylor Valley of East Antarctica indicated that denitrifying bacteria can be negatively affected by metals such as copper, iron, cadmium, lead, chromium, nickel, silver and zinc; and that there is a distinct difference in denitrifying activity between the east and west lobes of the lake. \n\nLow iron concentrations were found to exacerbate the potential toxicity of the other metals, while silver has the potential to specifically inhibit denitrification because of its ability to interfere with copper binding in redox proteins, such as nitrite reductase and nitrous oxide reductase. High silver concentrations might prevent the functioning of nitrous oxide reductase in the same way that simple copper limitation does, thereby causing the buildup of nitrous oxide and resulting in a nonfunctional nitrogen cycle. Other factors, such as oxygen concentration, are likely also to affect bacterial activity in Lake Bonney.\n\nThis project will investigate silver toxicity, general metal toxicity and oxygen concentration to determine their effect on denitrification in the lake by using a suite of \u0027sentinel\u0027 strains of denitrifying bacteria (isolated from the lake) incubated in Lake Bonney water and subjected to various treatments. The physiological responses of these strains to changes in metal and oxygen concentration will be quantified by flow cytometric detection of single cell molecular probes whose sensitivity and interpretation have been optimized for the sentinel strains. Understanding the relationships between metals and denitrification is expected to enhance our understanding of not only Lake Bonney\u0027s unusual nitrogen cycle, but more generally, of the potential role of metals in the regulation of microbial nitrogen transformations.

It is hypothesized that each region will have markedly different physical forcing, giving rise to distinct chemical conditions and therefore biological responses. As such, the comparison of the two may give us insights into the mechanisms of how Antarctic continental margins will respond under changing environmental conditions. Broader impacts include participation by an international graduate student from Brazil, outreach via seminars to the general public, collaboration with the teachers-in-residence on the cruise, development of a cruise web site and interactive email exchanges with local middle school students while at sea.", "east": -100.0, "geometry": ["POINT(-130 -70.5)"], "keywords": "Amundsen Sea; Chemistry:fluid; Chemistry:Fluid; CTD Data; Geochemistry; Oceans; Oden; OSO2007; Sea Surface; Southern Ocean", "locations": "Amundsen Sea; Sea Surface; Southern Ocean", "north": -65.0, "nsf_funding_programs": null, "persons": "Smith, Walker", "project_titles": "Small Grants for Exploratory Research - Oceanographic Research in the Amundsen and Ross Seas:", "projects": [{"proj_uid": "p0000217", "repository": "USAP-DC", "title": "Small Grants for Exploratory Research - Oceanographic Research in the Amundsen and Ross Seas:"}], "repo": "USAP-DC", "repositories": "USAP-DC", "science_programs": null, "south": -76.0, "title": "Small Grants for Exploratory Research - Oceanographic Research in the Amundsen and Ross Seas", "uid": "600085", "west": -160.0}, {"awards": "0127022 Jeffrey, Wade", "bounds_geometry": ["POLYGON((159.8 -43.3,161.8 -43.3,163.8 -43.3,165.8 -43.3,167.8 -43.3,169.8 -43.3,171.8 -43.3,173.8 -43.3,175.8 -43.3,177.8 -43.3,179.8 -43.3,179.8 -45.65,179.8 -48,179.8 -50.35,179.8 -52.7,179.8 -55.05,179.8 -57.4,179.8 -59.75,179.8 -62.1,179.8 -64.45,179.8 -66.8,177.8 -66.8,175.8 -66.8,173.8 -66.8,171.8 -66.8,169.8 -66.8,167.8 -66.8,165.8 -66.8,163.8 -66.8,161.8 -66.8,159.8 -66.8,159.8 -64.45,159.8 -62.1,159.8 -59.75,159.8 -57.4,159.8 -55.05,159.8 -52.7,159.8 -50.35,159.8 -48,159.8 -45.65,159.8 -43.3))", "POLYGON((167 -74.4,168.36 -74.4,169.72 -74.4,171.08 -74.4,172.44 -74.4,173.8 -74.4,175.16 -74.4,176.52 -74.4,177.88 -74.4,179.24 -74.4,180.6 -74.4,180.6 -74.735,180.6 -75.07,180.6 -75.405,180.6 -75.74,180.6 -76.075,180.6 -76.41,180.6 -76.745,180.6 -77.08,180.6 -77.415,180.6 -77.75,179.24 -77.75,177.88 -77.75,176.52 -77.75,175.16 -77.75,173.8 -77.75,172.44 -77.75,171.08 -77.75,169.72 -77.75,168.36 -77.75,167 -77.75,167 -77.415,167 -77.08,167 -76.745,167 -76.41,167 -76.075,167 -75.74,167 -75.405,167 -75.07,167 -74.735,167 -74.4))"], "date_created": "Tue, 01 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT", "description": "Data from five research cruises from OPP grant entitled \"Interactive Effects of UV and Vertical Mixing on Phytoplankton and Bacterial Productivity of Ross Sea Phaeocystis Bloom (OPP0127022).
