Improving spatial representation of vital biogeochemical data using hyperspectral and color imaging of soil cores

Lead Institution

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Kenton Rod

Our objective is to develop an EMSL capability using hyperspectral imaging to generate biogeochemical maps (e.g. concentrations of: organic carbon: OC, nitrogen: N, iron: Fe) of soil cores, providing…

Disentangling the impacts of particle mixing state on ice nucleation

Lead Institution

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Susannah Burrows

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

Atmospheric ice nucleating particles (INPs) are rare particles required to initiate freezing in clouds at temperatures warmer than ca. -38°C, and therefore can have significant impacts on weather and…

Geochemical controls on soil resiliency to carbon loss following permafrost thaw in Alaskan soils

Lead Institution

University of California, Davis

Principal Investigator

Rebecca Lybrand

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

Global air temperature rise exacerbated by greenhouse gas emissions endangers Arctic carbon previously protected by permafrost. The resiliency of soil landscapes to carbon loss will be determined by…

Identifying dynamic sources and transformations of dissolved organic matter in coastal watersheds exposed to extreme flooding

Lead Institution

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Nicholas Ward

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

The primary objective of this proposal is to improve mechanistic understanding of the hydrobiogeochemical processes governing the cycling of organic matter (OM) across the land-to-sea continuum…

Effect of drought duration on C mineralization

Lead Institution

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Sarah Fansler

Drought and inundation events have been linked to increases in SOM availability and carbon mineralization. The duration of a drought event impacts the ability of the soil microbial community to…

Illuminating soil biogeochemical responses to press and pulse disturbances in a coastal ecosystem

Lead Institution

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Jianqiu Zheng

Project type

FICUS Research

Coastal ecosystems are undergoing dramatic transitions as sea level rise accelerates and precipitation and storm regimes change. Depending upon the intensity and duration of seawater exposure,…
