About the research

How do biogenic material fluxes and reactions across the seafloor link oceanographic biogeochemistry to the sedimentary record?

Read the full research overview

The Berelson Lab measures particle fluxes through the water column using sediment traps and profiles of solutes and suspended particles to quantify transport and sources. The group uses benthic chambers and pore-water diagenetic models to determine fluxes and reactions across the seafloor. Researchers analyze solid-phase composition and isotopes to connect modern geochemical cycles with sedimentary records and past environments. Field work frequently includes oceanographic research cruises to sites such as the Eastern Tropical Pacific and Santa Monica Basin to collect samples for these analyses.
