[ECOLOG-L] Geobiology, Organic Tracers, and Biogeochemistry Goldschmidt Session 10e - Abstract Submission by March 30!

[D'Andrilli, Juliana]

Interested in aquatic or terrestrial carbon ecology?  Submit your abstracts to 
the Goldschmidt 2018 - Geobiology, Organic Tracers, and Biogeochemistry Session 
10e.  The Goldschmidt conference will be held in Boston, August 12-17th, and 
the session will include probing biogeochemical processes via isotopic and OM 
composition signature.

The session within Geobiology, Organic Tracers, and Biogeochemistry is Novel 
insights into Earth and environmental processes through radiocarbon research 
and organic matter biogeochemistry.

Keynote Speaker: Tim Eglinton
Invited Speakers: Lynn Mazzoleni, Klaus Schmidt-Rohr, and Brett Poulin

This session aims to create collaborative synergies among (geo)scientists in 
academia, industry, governmental facilities, and broader experts in carbon 
cycle dynamics as a means of highlighting gaps in our current knowledge and 
identifying potential future directions in radiocarbon research and combined 
organic matter (OM) biogeochemical characterization approaches.

We invite contributions of carbon cycling dynamics and OM biogeochemistry 
including isotope detection and interpretation - from instrument development to 
environmental application, potentially involving "unconventional" applications 
- along with studies that assess OM mobilization, reactivity, and fate by 
combining chemical structure and compositional datasets from various 
environments or engineered ecosystems. Novel advances are likely only 
achievable through interdisciplinary and inter-sector networking and 
collaborations that identify the current gaps, and resolve common 
biogeochemical misconceptions with interpretation from instrument bias. 
Abstracts can range in scope including carbon dynamics and isotopic signatures 
for both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, and studies that employ a suite of 
complementary analytical approaches are particularly welcome in this session.

The abstract submission process is now open and will close on March 30th. For 
more information on abstract submission, please follow this link:

10e: Novel insights into Earth and environmental processes through radiocarbon 
research and organic matter biogeochemistry

Carbon and its role in global cycles, both biogeochemical and hydrological, are 
fundamental to understanding past, present, and future environmental 
conditions. Stable (13C) and radiocarbon (14C) approaches are required to 
better understand time-space flux relationships between Earth's key reservoirs. 
Natural organic matter (OM) is a critical currency for material and energy 
exchange among Earth's systems, and isotopic signature, molecular composition, 
structure, and concentration indicate processes governing transformation 
through connected networks. Recent isotopic instrumental developments and 
complementary analytical chemistry techniques now creates new opportunities to 
better constrain carbon dynamics and key Earth system processes. Novel advances 
are likely only achievable through interdisciplinary and inter-sector 
networking and collaborations that identify the current gaps, and resolve 
common biogeochemical misconceptions with interpretation from instrument bias.

assess OM mobilization, reactivity, and fate by combining chemical structure 
and compositional datasets from (i) environmental grab samples, (ii) laboratory 
incubation and/or mesocosm experiments, or (iii) a combination of both. 
Multidisciplinary approaches will reduce discrepancies in chemical 
interpretations of OM biogeochemistry and isotopic signatures and provide a 
clearer understanding of Earth's systems.

[ECOLOG-L] AGU Session B073: Fluorescent organic matter challenges in ecological studies

[D'Andrilli, Juliana]

Bring us your freshwater, ocean water, atmospheric, glacial, floodplain 
sediments, and soil organic matter fluorescent queries and challenges!  With 
collaborators studying a vast array of environments, the time is now to 
communicate about chemical interpretations of fluorescent organic matter data.  
Small scales or large scales, we welcome any research projects utilizing 
fluorescence to chemically interpret organic matter in the environment.  What 
kinds of challenges have you dealt with when working with fluorescence 
spectroscopy?

Please submit your abstracts today to AGU Session B073: Trials and Tribulations 
of Fluorescent Dissolved Organic Matter Chemical Interpretations: Converging 
Fluorescent Community Challenges


Session ID#: 24003

Session Description:
Understanding dissolved organic matter (DOM) chemistry has been a crucial focus 
of carbon cycling research in aerosol, aquatic, and terrestrial environments 
for decades.  DOM is a critical currency for material and energy exchange among 
all systems, as well as an indicator of processes governing transformation 
through connected networks.  Fluorescent DOM characterization by EEMs and 
subsequent interpretation by different quantitative methods, such as PARAFAC 
analyses, continues to be widely applied to identify underlying DOM chemistry.  
While the vast application of EEMs continues to grow, so do the challenges with 
interpretation.  Oversimplification and overstatement of fluorescent DOM 
studies are common discrepancies, thus disputes over interpretations need to be 
resolved.  We welcome fluorescent DOM studies from all environments, 
integrating results with other chemical analyses techniques, and also across 
multiple disciplines.  Unifying fluorescent DOM communication by discussing 
diverse research, challenges, and interpretations are necessary, and will 
promote a clearer chemical understanding of Earth systems.

Conveners:  Juliana D’Andrilli (Montana State University) and Fernando 
Rosario-Ortiz (University of Colorado at Boulder)

This session is cross-listed with Atmospheric Sciences, Cryosphere, Hydrology, 
and Ocean Sciences, and is indexed across Biogeosciences, Geochemistry, and 
Hydrology.
