Characterizing Dissolved Organic Matter Composition Across Spatial, Temporal, and Hydrologic Gradients
Characterizing Dissolved Organic Matter Composition Across Spatial, Temporal, and Hydrologic Gradients
Session ID#: 82380
Session Description:
While variations in dissolved organic matter (DOM) concentrations have been examined in numerous settings and across a range of environmental gradients, concentration data alone provide limited insight into how DOM interacts with the physical, chemical, and biological environment. The biogeochemical reactivity of DOM in natural waters is strongly linked to its molecular composition. Various analytical techniques have been used to identify the molecular-scale characteristics of DOM, and these techniques encompass a range of sample analysis costs, sample storage, and preparation requirements, and also vary in the specificity of molecular information that they reveal. In this session, we welcome presentations from researchers investigating changes in DOM composition and quality across gradients of space, time, and hydrologic regimes. Research employing analytical techniques including (but not limited to) stable and radio isotopes, UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), and Fourier transform ion cyclotron resolution mass spectrometry (FT-ICR-MS) are particularly welcome.
