| Title | ETBC: Amazon iNfluence on the Atlantic |
| Abstract | Collaborative Research: ETBC: Amazon iNfluence on the Atlantic: CarbOn export from Nitrogen fixation by DiAtom Symbioses (ANACONDAS): survey waters in and around the Amazon plume to characterize the diversity and activity of N2-fixing organisms and their impact on C and N export to the deep sea. We will collect water samples for analysis and experimentation using a CTD/rosette and will carry out an extensive suite of experiments to measure the rates of N2-fixation in these waters. We will collect zooplankton with a mocness system and bottom samples with a multicorer. We will deploy floating sediment traps to 200 m for up to 7 days. |
