C-NEWTS: Carbon New England Wetland Time-Series<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Groundwater-surface water exchange in tidal wetlands mediates the transport of dissolved carbon to estuarine and shelf waters. This lateral export of “blue carbon”, or carbon “outwelling”, represents a major sink of TA, DIC, and DOC in the coastal ocean. With funds from NSF Chemical Oceanography (award # 2242114), we are studying the driving forces of groundwater-surface water exchange in salt marsh habitats and how dissolved carbon is transformed and exported along groundwater flowpaths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COLDSHIFT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cold-season hydrological dynamics and biogeochemical processes have seldom been evaluated in salt marshes, preventing accurate estimates of local and global carbon outwelling. This project’s goal is to better understand cold-season freeze-thaw processes, groundwater flow dynamics, and lateral carbon export in North Atlantic salt marshes.  We are working in collaboration with Julia Guimond (WHOI, lead PI) and Meagan Eagle (USGS, co-PI), funded by NSF Hydrologic Sciences (award # 2342824).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
