Sea ice geochemistry: mercury, ikaite and phosphate
Sea ice geochemistry: mercury, ikaite and phosphate
Start/end date:
Sunday, April 12, 2015 - 00:00 to Saturday, May 23, 2015 - 00:00
Event type:
During this campaign our team plans to:
- Look at Hg transport across snow-sea ice-seawater interface in first-year and multi-year sea ice, with a particular emphasis on the potential production of methyl mercury in sea ice
- Study the vertical distribution if ikaite crystal within sea ice as well as the amount of phosphate co-precipitated with ikaite
- Examine Halogens distribution across snow-sea ice interface
- Test a new method for estimating CO2 flux through the sea ice during sea ice growth and decay
