  1. KEOPS, OBEX 3 Objective 3: Process Studies The impact of photochemical and biological degradation on iron speciation and the production of biogenic gases Ingrid Obernosterer, LOB Banyls sur Mer

  2. KEOPS, OBEX 3 Why photochemistry experiments ? Solar radiation DOM* + photoproducts DOM Mineralization of organic matter --> C, N, P, S Source or sink of gases --> CO2, CO, OCS, DMS, N2O... Reduction of trace metals or metal complexes --> Fe, Mn, Co

  3. Photochemical processes are of particular interest in The Southern Ocean • KEOPS : • Focus on upwelling of ‘deep water’ -Study of upper mesopelagic water layer (100-300m) - winter mixing

  4. KEOPS, OBEX 3 1) Specific objective of KEOPS: Iron speciation Photochemical Processes Chemistry of iron : redox complexation Bioavailability of Fe to phytoplankton?

  6. Chemistry of iron : redox complexation Autotrophic Processes KEOPS, OBEX 3 Photochemical Processes Heterotrophic Processes

  7. Biogenic gases KEOPS, OBEX 3 Photochemical Processes Heterotrophic Processes

  8. Photochemical Processes Heterotrophic Processes surface solar radiation (on-deck incubator) -short-term: 1 day-light period biodegradation experiments (in the dark) - short- and long-term: 1 - 7 d ± ± bioassay experiments bioassay experiments KEOPS, OBEX3 Basic Experimental Set-up Seawater, 0.2-µm filtered, will be exposed to

  9. KEOPS, OBEX3 Where will these experiments be performed ? Kerguelen Plateau Upwelling of ‘deep water’ – station C5, ~1000m Bloom-area – station A5 Surface mixed layer < sample < 300m HNLC-area Station D6, ~3000m surface mixed layer < sample < 300m

  10. Let’s discuss: • -Who is interested in participating? • What are your specific questions? • - Define in detail experimental set-up • - Volume of water • UV-transparent incubation bottles/containers (quartz-glass, whirlpack-bags, teflon-bottles, polymethylmetacrylate (PMMA)-bottles) • On-deck incubator • Incubation time and frequency of sub-sampling • Full solar radiation/- UV-B/- UV-A
