Integrating mineral-associated organic matter (MAOM) colloid characteristics into dissolved organic matter (DOM) representation in Earth system models
EMSL Project ID
60097
Abstract
We propose developing a workflow to generate colloids from operationally defined DOM solutions using aerosol-based techniques, then develop a spectroscopic/microscopic capability pipeline to correlate colloidal DOM characteristics - nature of organically-bound metals/minerals; total organic C, inorganic C, and N contents; pH and Eh - and soil mineralogy to OM composition by FT-ICR-MS analysis. Machine learning algorithms will be used to find relationships among the resulting complex data and parameters that can be ingested by Earth system models (ESMs). This project strengthens EMSL's goal of high-throughput OM and soil analysis to enable efficient ESM improvement through model-experiment integration.
