    Description / Table of Contents: High-resolution sedimentary records of major and minor elements (Al, Ba, Ca, Sr, Ti), total organic carbon (TOC), and profiles of pore water constituents (SO42-, CH4, Ca2+, Ba2+, Mg2+, alkalinity) were obtained for two gravity cores (core 755, 501 m water depth and core 214, 1686 m water depth) from the northwestern Black Sea. The records were examined in order to gain insight into the cycling of Ba in anoxic marine sediments characterized by a shallow sulfate-methane transition (SMT) as well as the applicability of barite as a primary productivity proxy in such a setting. The Ba records are strongly overprinted by diagenetic barite (BaSO4) precipitation and remobilization; authigenic Ba enrichments were found at both sites at and slightly above the current SMT. Transport reaction modeling was applied to simulate the migration of the SMT during the changing geochemical conditions after the Holocene seawater intrusion into the Black Sea. Based on this, sediment intervals affected by diagenetic Ba redistribution were identified. Results reveal that the intense overprint of Ba and Baxs (Ba excess above detrital average) strongly limits its correlation to primary productivity. These findings have implications for other modern and ancient anoxic basins, such as sections covering the Oceanic Anoxic Events for which Ba is frequently used as a primary productivity indicator. Our study also demonstrates the limitations concerning the use of Baxs as a tracer for downward migrations of the SMT: due to high sedimentation rates at the investigated sites, diagenetic barite fronts are buried below the SMT within a relatively short period. Thus, 'relict' barite fronts would only be preserved for a few thousands of years, if at all.〈br〉〈br〉REFERENCE:〈br〉Blumenberg, Martin; Seifert, Richard; Kasten, Sabine; Bahlmann, E; Michaelis, Walter (2009): Euphotic zone bacterioplankton sources major bacteriohopanepolyols in the Holocene Black Sea.

    Description: Assessing frequency and extent of mass movement at continental margins is crucial to evaluate risks for offshore constructions and coastal areas. A multidisciplinary approach including geophysical, sedimentological, geotechnical, and geochemical methods was applied to investigate multistage mass transport deposits (MTDs) off Uruguay, on top of which no surficial hemipelagic drape was detected based on echosounder data. Nonsteady state pore water conditions are evidenced by a distinct gradient change in the sulfate (SO42−) profile at 2.8 m depth. A sharp sedimentological contact at 2.43 m coincides with an abrupt downward increase in shear strength from ∼10 to 〉20 kPa. This boundary is interpreted as a paleosurface (and top of an older MTD) that has recently been covered by a sediment package during a younger landslide event. This youngest MTD supposedly originated from an upslope position and carried its initial pore water signature downward. The kink in the SO42− profile ∼35 cm below the sedimentological and geotechnical contact indicates that bioirrigation affected the paleosurface before deposition of the youngest MTD. Based on modeling of the diffusive re-equilibration of SO42− the age of the most recent MTD is estimated to be 〈30 years. The mass movement was possibly related to an earthquake in 1988 (∼70 km southwest of the core location). Probabilistic slope stability back analysis of general landslide structures in the study area reveals that slope failure initiation requires additional ground accelerations. Therefore, we consider the earthquake as a reasonable trigger if additional weakening processes (e.g., erosion by previous retrogressive failure events or excess pore pressures) preconditioned the slope for failure. Our study reveals the necessity of multidisciplinary approaches to accurately recognize and date recent slope failures in complex settings such as the investigated area.

    Description: Highlights • Release of dissolved Sr2+ with low 87Sr/86Sr, as well as Ca2+ and Ba2+ suggests ongoing volcanic ash alteration. • A concurrent increase in Fe2+ and a depletion of CH4 with a decrease in C of CH4 and DIC suggest Fe-AOM. • We for the first time document the potential linkage between ash alteration and methane oxidation via Fe-AOM. • The rate of Fe-AOM is estimated to be ∼0.4 μmol cm−2 yr−1, equivalent to ∼12% of total CH4 removal. Abstract We present geochemical data collected from volcanic ash-bearing sediments on the upper slope of the northern Hikurangi margin during the RV SONNE SO247 expedition in 2016. Gravity coring and seafloor drilling with the MARUM-MeBo200 allowed for collection of sediments down to 105 meters below seafloor (mbsf). Release of dissolved Sr2+ with isotopic composition enriched in 86Sr (87Sr/86Sr minimum = 0.708461 at 83.5 mbsf) is indicative of ash alteration. This reaction releases other cations in the 30-70 mbsf depth interval as reflected by maxima in pore-water Ca2+ and Ba2+ concentrations. In addition, we posit that Fe(III) in volcanogenic glass serves as an electron acceptor for methane oxidation, a reaction that releases Fe2+ measured in the pore fluids to a maximum concentration of 184 μM. Several lines of evidence support our proposed coupling of ash alteration with Fe-mediated anaerobic oxidation of methane (Fe-AOM) beneath the sulfate-methane transition (SMT), which lies at ∼7 mbsf at this site. In the ∼30-70 mbsf interval, we observe a concurrent increase in Fe2+ and a depletion of CH4 with a well-defined decrease in C-CH4 values indicative of microbial fractionation of carbon. The negative excursions in C values of both DIC and CH4 are similar to that observed by sulfate-driven AOM at low SO concentrations, and can only be explained by the microbially-mediated carbon isotope equilibration between CH4 and DIC. Mass balance considerations reveal that the iron cycled through the coupled ash alteration and AOM reactions is consumed as authigenic Fe-bearing minerals. This iron sink term derived from the mass balance is consistent with the amount of iron present as carbonate minerals, as estimated from sequential extraction analyses. Using a numerical modeling approach we estimate the rate of Fe-AOM to be on the order of 0.4 μmol cm−2 yr−1, which accounts for ∼12% of total CH4 removal in the sediments. Although not without uncertainties, the results presented reveal that Fe-AOM in ash-bearing sediments is significantly lower than the sulfate-driven CH4 consumption, which at this site is 3.0 μmol cm−2 yr−1. We highlight that Fe(III) in ash can potentially serve as an electron acceptor for methane oxidation in sulfate-depleted settings. This is relevant to our understanding of C-Fe cycling in the methanic zone that typically underlies the SMT and could be important in supporting the deep biosphere.

    Description: Numerous studies have provided compelling evidence that the Pacific Ocean has experienced substantial glacial/interglacial changes in bottom-water oxygenation associated with enhanced carbon dioxide storage in the glacial deep ocean. Under postulated low glacial bottom-water oxygen concentrations (O), redox zonation, biogeochemical processes and element fluxes in the sediments must have been distinctively different during the last glacial period (LGP) compared to current well-oxygenated conditions. In this study, we have investigated six sites situated in various European contract areas for the exploration of polymetallic nodules within the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ) in the NE Pacific and one site located in a protected Area of Particular Environmental Interest (APEI3) north of the CCZ. We found bulk sediment Mn maxima of up to 1 wt% in the upper oxic 10 cm of the sediments at all sites except for the APEI3 site. The application of a combined leaching protocol for the extraction of sedimentary Mn and Fe minerals revealed that mobilizable Mn(IV) represents the dominant Mn(oxyhydr)oxide phase with more than 70% of bulk solid-phase Mn. Steady state transport-reaction modeling showed that at postulated glacial O of 35 μM, the oxic zone in the sediments was much more compressed than today where upward diffusing pore-water Mn2+ was oxidized and precipitated as authigenic Mn(IV) at the oxic-suboxic redox boundary in the upper 5 cm of the sediments. Transient transport-reaction modeling demonstrated that with increasing O during the last glacial termination to current levels of ∼ 150 μM, (1) the oxic-suboxic redox boundary migrated deeper into the sediments and (2) the authigenic Mn(IV) peak was continuously mixed into subsequently deposited sediments by bioturbation causing the observed mobilizable Mn(IV) enrichment in the surface sediments. Such a distinct mobilizable Mn(IV) maximum was not found in the surface sediments of the APEI3 site, which indicates that the oxic zone was not as condensed during the LGP at this site due to two- to threefold lower organic carbon burial rates. Leaching data for sedimentary Fe minerals suggest that Fe(III) has not been diagenetically redistributed during the LGP at any of the investigated sites. Our results demonstrate that the basin-wide deoxygenation in the NE Pacific during the LGP was associated with (1) a much more compressed oxic zone at sites with carbon burial fluxes higher than 1.5 mg Corg m−2 d−1, (2) the authigenic formation of a sub-surface mobilizable Mn(IV) maximum in the upper 5 cm of the sediments and (3) a possibly intensified suboxic-diagenetic growth of polymetallic nodules. As our study provides evidence that authigenic Mn(IV) precipitated in the surface sediments under postulated low glacial O, it contributes to resolving a long-standing controversy concerning the origin of widely observed Mn-rich layers in glacial/deglacial deep-sea sediments.

    Description: The dataset includes rock magnetic end-member unmixing data of sediment cores from Site C0023 (Hole A) that was recovered during International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 370 in the Nankai Trough offshore Japan in the Pacific Ocean (Drilling vessel Chikyu). Site C0023 was established on 17 September 2016. Coring terminated on 3 November 2016. End-member modelling of isothermal remanent magnetization (IRM) acquisition curves were performed to characterize the iron mineralogy. IRM acquisition curves were measured using a Princeton Measurements Corporation Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). IRM was imparted stepwise (non-linearly) up to a maximum field of 1 T with an averaging time of 200 ms. Unmixing of IRM acquisition curves were performed using the web application MAX UnMix by Maxbauer et al. (2016). Mean coervity (Bh) is given in log10 B mT and dispersion parameter (DP) in log. EC is the extrapolated contribution to the total IRM.
