Evren Arif (SSF, 2024) is presenting his research at the AGU Annual Meeting this week in Washington, D.C. His poster, ‘Mapping Dissolved Iodide in Seawater: Insights from a Machine Learning-based Climatology’ (Poster OS21H-0677), will be featured in Session OS21H: Trace Element Distributions and Cycling Across Ocean Basins on Tuesday, December 10, from 08:30 to 12:20…

This week, I was in Arlington, Virginia for the 2024 Accelerating Informatics for Earth Science event, sponsored by NASA. The gathering brought together researchers from NASA, the scientific community, and commercial data product developers to explore new ways of collaborating around Earth science data. The event featured panels, poster sessions, and plenty of opportunities for…

Several members of the NIRVANA Labs are in New Haven, Connecticut, for the 2024 edition of the Northeast Geobiology Symposium, which is being hosted by Yale University. Ichiko Sugiyama has a 09:15 oral presentation, while Margot Debyser and Iulia Streanga are both presenting in the first poster session: Debyser, M.C.F., M.A. Charette, P. Henderson, and…

Iulia and Ichiko are representing the NIRVANA Lab at the 2024 Ocean Sciences Meeting this week in New Orleans, Louisiana. On Monday, February 19, Iulia will present her poster, ‘Characterization of Organic Iodine Produced by Marine Cyanobacteria’ (Poster OB14B-0678), from 16:00 to 18:00 in the Poster Hall.

Several team members from the NIRVANA Labs are presenting their research at the 2022 Goldschmidt Conference in Honolulu HI this week, including: East Greenland’s rising impact on the marine silicon cycle constrained by silicon isotopes, presented by Georgi Laukert (Monday 11th, 11:15 HST) Barium isotope fractionation during ion exchange at the barite-fluid interface: Implications for…

Öykü Mete is at the Northeastern Geobiology Symposium presenting her research looking at the marine distribution of barium (Poster Session #1). Poster info: Mete, Ö.Z., H.H. Kim, A.G. Dunlea, A.V. Subhas, and T.J. Horner (2022). Dissolved distribution of barium in seawater and its relationship to silicon.  

We are looking to recruit a Postdoctoral Investigator to join the team to study the cycling of radium and/or barium isotopes in the Southern Ocean as part of GEOTRACES GP17. The initial appointment would be for 18 months with the possibility of renewal for a further 18 months. Review of applications will begin on February…
