Shell nitrogen isotopes in carbonate bound organic matter (d15NCBOM) have the potential to record sea ice state over time. Recent studies illustrated that d15NCBOM values provide a similar proxy as soft tissue d15N values which are in turn are predicably related to food d15N values (Gillikin et al., 2017, GCA, 200, 55\u201366, doi: 10.1016/j.gca.2016.12.008). Sea-ice organic N should have higher d15N values compared to open water organics due to nitrate draw down in the ice (Fripiat et al., 2014, Global Biogeochem. Cycles, 28, 115\u2013130, doi:10.1002/2013GB004729). To test this hypothesis we analyzed A. colbecki shells from Explorers Cove and Bay of Sails, western McMurdo Sound, Antarctica. These sites have different sea ice states: persistent (multiannual) sea ice at Explorers Cove and annual sea ice (that melts out every year) at Bay of Sails. Six adults shells collected at these sites in 2008 (3 from each site) and two juveniles collected in 2016 from Explorers Cove were be serially sampled for d15NCBOM values from the growing shell margin to the umbo. d15NCBOM values from Explorers Cove with persistent sea ice cover were consistently higher (+10 \u00b1 0.7 \u2030) than those from Bay of Sails where the sea ice melts out every year (+8 \u00b1 0.5 \u2030; t-test p\u003c0.0001). d15NCBOM data from Mid- to Late Holocene shells that grew in these locations will also be presented.

The nitrogen isotopic composition (as \u03b415N) of organic matter in marine sediments is a proxy for surface ocean nitrate supply and demand over time but it may be subject to alteration during sinking and burial. The isotopic composition of nitrogen contained in the shells, or frustules, of diatoms (\u03b415NDB) is protected and is therefore a potentially more robust tracer of nitrate use in the past. Here we show that \u03b415NDB in Southern Ocean community cultures does not depend on species composition.

The two community growouts, seeded with populations from 66\u00b0 and 61\u00b0S, had distinct community compositions but indistinguishable \u03b5DB, suggesting species composition does not primarily set \u03b415NDB values in the Southern Ocean.

Interpretation of these records requires an accurate depth-age relationship. Here, we present the SP19 timescale for the age of the ice of SPICEcore. SP19 is synchronized to the WD2014 chronology from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet Divide (WAIS Divide) ice core using stratigraphic matching of 251 volcanic events. These events indicate an age of 54,302 +/- 519 years BP (before the year 1950) at the bottom of SPICEcore. Annual layers identified in sodium and magnesium ions to 11,341 BP were used to interpolate between stratigraphic volcanic tie points, yielding an annually-resolved chronology through the Holocene. Estimated timescale uncertainty during the Holocene is less than 18 years relative to WD2014, with the exception of the interval between 1800 to 3100 BP when uncertainty estimates reach +/- 25 years due to widely spaced volcanic tie points. Prior to the Holocene, uncertainties remain within 124 years relative to WD2014. Results show an average Holocene accumulation rate of 7.4 cm/yr (water equivalent). The time variability of accumulation rate is consistent with expectations for steady-state ice flow through the modern spatial pattern of accumulation rate. Time variations in nitrate concentration, nitrate seasonal amplitude, and \u03b415N of N2 in turn are as expected for the accumulation-rate variations.

Collaborative research: The Antarctic Scallop as Key to Paleoenvironments and Sea Ice Conditions: Understanding the Modern to Predict the Past Collaborative Research: Linking Modern Benthic Communities and Taphonomic Processes to the Stratigraphic Record of Antarctic Cores |
Adamussium colbecki is a large thin-shelled scallop common in Antarctic waters and well represented in the fossil record. Shell nitrogen isotopes in carbonate bound organic matter (d15NCBOM) have the potential to record sea ice state over time. Recent studies illustrated that d15NCBOM values provide a similar proxy as soft tissue d15N values which are in turn are predicably related to food d15N values (Gillikin et al., 2017, GCA, 200, 55–66, doi: 10.1016/j.gca.2016.12.008). Sea-ice organic N should have higher d15N values compared to open water organics due to nitrate draw down in the ice (Fripiat et al., 2014, Global Biogeochem. Cycles, 28, 115–130, doi:10.1002/2013GB004729). To test this hypothesis we analyzed A. colbecki shells from Explorers Cove and Bay of Sails, western McMurdo Sound, Antarctica. These sites have different sea ice states: persistent (multiannual) sea ice at Explorers Cove and annual sea ice (that melts out every year) at Bay of Sails. Six adults shells collected at these sites in 2008 (3 from each site) and two juveniles collected in 2016 from Explorers Cove were be serially sampled for d15NCBOM values from the growing shell margin to the umbo. d15NCBOM values from Explorers Cove with persistent sea ice cover were consistently higher (+10 ± 0.7 ‰) than those from Bay of Sails where the sea ice melts out every year (+8 ± 0.5 ‰; t-test p<0.0001). d15NCBOM data from Mid- to Late Holocene shells that grew in these locations will also be presented. We posit that nitrogen isotopes in A. colbecki shells have a high potential to record sea ice cover. | [] | [] | false | false |

Collaborative Proposal: A Field and Laboratory Examination of the Diatom N and Si Isotope Proxies: Implications for Assessing the Southern Ocean Biological Pump |
Tracking variations in the surface ocean supply and demand of nitrate, a key marine nutrient, can help constrain the contribution of biological production in driving past climate shifts. The nitrogen isotopic composition (as δ15N) of organic matter in marine sediments is a proxy for surface ocean nitrate supply and demand over time but it may be subject to alteration during sinking and burial. The isotopic composition of nitrogen contained in the shells, or frustules, of diatoms (δ15NDB) is protected and is therefore a potentially more robust tracer of nitrate use in the past. Here we show that δ15NDB in Southern Ocean community cultures does not depend on species composition. We found the εDB (= biomass δ15N - δ15NDB) of the community growouts was -4.8 ± 0.8‰, more than 10‰ different from previous monospecific growouts, but statistically indistinguishable from previous Southern Ocean and North Pacific surface ocean observations. The two community growouts, seeded with populations from 66° and 61°S, had distinct community compositions but indistinguishable εDB, suggesting species composition does not primarily set δ15NDB values in the Southern Ocean. Our results demonstrate that under nitrate-replete conditions, δ15NDB values of frustules sinking from the surface ocean robustly track surface ocean nitrate δ15N values and therefore nitrate supply and demand. | ["POLYGON((-170.4 -60.8,-170.36 -60.8,-170.32 -60.8,-170.28 -60.8,-170.24 -60.8,-170.2 -60.8,-170.16 -60.8,-170.12 -60.8,-170.08 -60.8,-170.04 -60.8,-170 -60.8,-170 -61.34,-170 -61.88,-170 -62.42,-170 -62.96,-170 -63.5,-170 -64.04,-170 -64.58,-170 -65.12,-170 -65.66,-170 -66.2,-170.04 -66.2,-170.08 -66.2,-170.12 -66.2,-170.16 -66.2,-170.2 -66.2,-170.24 -66.2,-170.28 -66.2,-170.32 -66.2,-170.36 -66.2,-170.4 -66.2,-170.4 -65.66,-170.4 -65.12,-170.4 -64.58,-170.4 -64.04,-170.4 -63.5,-170.4 -62.96,-170.4 -62.42,-170.4 -61.88,-170.4 -61.34,-170.4 -60.8))"] | ["POINT(-170.2 -63.5)"] | false | false |

Collaborative Research: Inert Gas and Methane Based Climate Records throughout the South Pole Deep Ice Core |
We present measurements gas measurements from the South Pole Ice Core, including the isotopic composition of molecular nitrogen (δ15N) and argon (δ40Ar), and the argon-nitrogen ratio (δAr/N2). The measurements were made between approximately 490 and 1310 m depth, which is between 5 and 30 kyr BP on the SP19 Gas Chronology. The measurements allow us to reconstruct the past amounts of gravitational and thermal fractionation in the firn and thus reconstruct past firn thickness and temperature gradient. These reconstructions are also included. | ["POINT(0 -90)"] | ["POINT(0 -90)"] | false | false |

Collaborative Research: South Pole Ice Core Chronology and Climate Records using Chemical and Microparticle Measurements |
The South Pole Ice Core (SPICEcore) was drilled in 2014-2016 to provide a detailed multi-proxy archive of paleoclimate conditions in East Antarctica during the Holocene and late Pleistocene. Interpretation of these records requires an accurate depth-age relationship. Here, we present the SP19 timescale for the age of the ice of SPICEcore. SP19 is synchronized to the WD2014 chronology from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet Divide (WAIS Divide) ice core using stratigraphic matching of 251 volcanic events. These events indicate an age of 54,302 +/- 519 years BP (before the year 1950) at the bottom of SPICEcore. Annual layers identified in sodium and magnesium ions to 11,341 BP were used to interpolate between stratigraphic volcanic tie points, yielding an annually-resolved chronology through the Holocene. Estimated timescale uncertainty during the Holocene is less than 18 years relative to WD2014, with the exception of the interval between 1800 to 3100 BP when uncertainty estimates reach +/- 25 years due to widely spaced volcanic tie points. Prior to the Holocene, uncertainties remain within 124 years relative to WD2014. Results show an average Holocene accumulation rate of 7.4 cm/yr (water equivalent). The time variability of accumulation rate is consistent with expectations for steady-state ice flow through the modern spatial pattern of accumulation rate. Time variations in nitrate concentration, nitrate seasonal amplitude, and δ15N of N2 in turn are as expected for the accumulation-rate variations. The highly variable yet well-constrained Holocene accumulation history at the site can help improve scientific understanding of deposition-sensitive climate proxies such as δ15N of N2 and photolyzed chemical compounds. | ["POINT(-180 -90)"] | ["POINT(-180 -90)"] | false | false |

Collaborative Research: The Taylor Glacier, Antarctica, Horizontal Ice Core: Exploring changes in the Natural Methane Budget in a Warming World and Expanding the Paleo-archive |
New ice cores retrieved from the Taylor Glacier (Antarctica) blue ice area contain ice and air spanning the Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5-4 transition, a period of global cooling and ice sheet expansion. We determine chronologies for the ice and air bubbles in the new ice cores by visually matching variations in gas- and ice- phase tracers to preexisting ice core records. The chronologies reveal an ice age-gas age difference (Δage) approaching 10 ka during MIS 4, implying very low snow accumulation in the Taylor Glacier accumulation zone. A revised chronology for the analagous section of the Taylor Dome ice core (84 to 55 ka), located to the south of the Taylor Glacier accumulation zone, shows that Δage did not exceed 3 ka. The difference in Δage between the two records during MIS 4 is similar in magnitude but opposite in direction to what is observed at the Last Glacial Maximum. This relationship implies that a spatial gradient in snow accumulation existed across the Taylor Dome region during MIS 4 that was oriented in the opposite direction of the accumulation gradient during the Last Glacial Maximum. | ["POINT(162.167 -77.733)"] | ["POINT(162.167 -77.733)"] | false | false |
