Monthly variability in upper ocean biogeochemistry due to mesoscale eddy activity in the Saragasso Sea
… Sea. Measurements of primary production, thorium-234 flux, nitrate+nitrite, and photosynthetic pigments made at the US JGOFS Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) site were used. During the three years of this study, four out of six high thorium- 234 flux events over 1000 dpm/m2/d …

Particle export and flux through the Mesopelagic in the high-latitude north and South Atlantic
… was tracked using Lagrangian sediment traps and thorium-234 disequilibria. A large pulse of diatom detritus was exported suddenly at the end of the bloom, probably upon impending Si-limitation. The particles were rich in transparent exopolymer particles (TEP, sticky polysaccharides secreted by …

Phosphorous cycling in the Gulf of Maine : a multi-tracer approach
… (t_= 14.3 d), phosphorus-33 (t_ = 25.3 d), thorium-234 (t_ = 24.1) and beryllium-7 (t_ = 53.3 d). New techniques were developed for the extraction, purification and measurement of 32p and 33p in rainwater and in inorganic, organic and particulate pools in seawater. In order to constrain the …

Investigating the ocean’s biological pump using thorium-235 and polonium-210
… In this thesis, the two radioisotope pairs 234Th/238U and 210Po/210Pb are utilized. Chapter 2 is an update of the 234Th/238U measurement method which simplifies the protocol, and allows for expansion of use. Chapter 3 presents an unprecedentedly extensive, non-steady state study of …
