More specifically, we seek a better understanding of the role that submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) plays in local, regional, and global budgets for trace metals and nutrients. We use radium isotopes in the study of shelf-slope trace element exchange processes and as isotopic tracers of glacier hydrology. Our most recent projects have been focused on these processes in the Arctic Ocean due to the fact that this region is experiencing unprecedented warming, and the expected increase in material fluxes from groundwater, rivers, and continental shelf sediments.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1><\/h1>\n<h2>\n\t\tCurrent Projects\n\t<\/h2>\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/groundwater\/projects\/arion\/\" title=\"ARION &#8211; The Arctic Radium Isotope Observing Network\"><\/a>\n\t\t\t<h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tARION &#8211; The Arctic Radium Isotope Observing Network\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/groundwater\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/49\/bb-plugin\/cache\/MoRIS-768x1024-landscape.jpeg\" alt=\"MoRIS - Moored Radium In-situ Sampler\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"1024\" width=\"768\" title=\"MoRIS\" \/>\n    ARION &#8211; The Arctic Radium Isotope Observing Network Quantifying Seasonal and Interannual Changes in Shelf-Derived Material Inputs to the Arctic Ocean Within the Arctic Circle,&#8230;\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/groundwater\/projects\/barriers\/\" title=\"Permeable Reactive Barriers for Treatment of Groundwater Nitrate Contamination\"><\/a>\n\t\t\t<h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPermeable Reactive Barriers for Treatment of Groundwater Nitrate Contamination\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www2.whoi.edu\/site\/groundwater\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/49\/bb-plugin\/cache\/PRB-1-1024x593-landscape.png\" alt=\"Conceptual diagram for an injection well permeable reactive barrier of the type proposed herein.
