Title: Radium, water isotopes, and salinity on the East Siberian Sea slope - NABOS 2018
Radium isotopes (radium-228 and radium-226), water isotopes (oxygen-18 and deuterium), and salinity were measured on the slope of the East Siberian Sea in coordination with the 2018 Nansen and Amundsen Basins Observational System (NABOS) expedition. Radium is continuously produced at ocean boundaries and is soluble in seawater, thus it serves as an analogue for similarly sourced sediment-derived materials. Because the Eastern Arctic shelves are the origin of the Transpolar Drift, monitoring the radium levels in this region improves our understanding of potential climate-driven changes on the transport of shelf-derived materials offshore.  more » « less

  1. Radium isotopes are continuously produced at ocean boundaries and are soluble in seawater. Radium therefore serves as an analogue for similarly sourced shelf-derived materials, including biologically important elements such as carbon, nutrients, and trace metals. To test the hypothesis that climate change is leading to increased delivery of terrestrially-derived solutes to the Arctic Ocean, radium levels will be measured on bi-annual cruises along the Laptev and East Siberian Sea margins (to capture interannual changes) and on a first-of-its kind in situ radium isotope sampler (to capture seasonal changes). These sampling efforts will be complemented by an international network of collaborators that will contribute data to create an Arctic Radium Isotope Observing Network (ARION) that spans the Arctic Ocean and will serve the greater scientific community. This dataset contains the results of the water column measurements made on the first ARION cruise, which took place in Sept-Oct 2021 along the slopes of the East Siberian and Laptev Seas in collaboration with the Nansen and Amundsen Basin Observational Systems (NABOS) program. Parameters measured include radium-228, radium-226, oxygen-18, deuterium, and salinity.

  2. Abstract

    Radium isotopes are produced through the decay of thorium in sediments and are soluble in seawater; thus, they are useful for tracing ocean boundary‐derived inputs to the ocean. Here we apply radium isotopes to study continental inputs and water residence times in the Arctic Ocean, where land‐ocean interactions are currently changing in response to rising air and sea temperatures. We present the distributions of radium isotopes measured on the 2015 U.S. GEOTRACES transect in the Western Arctic Ocean and combine this data set with historical radium observations in the Chukchi Sea and Canada Basin. The highest activities of radium‐228 were observed in the Transpolar Drift and the Chukchi shelfbreak jet, signaling that these currents are heavily influenced by interactions with shelf sediments. The ventilation of the halocline with respect to inputs from the Chukchi shelf occurs on time scales of ≤19–23 years. Intermediate water ventilation time scales for the Makarov and Canada Basins were determined to be ~20 and >30 years, respectively, while deep water residence times in these basins were on the order of centuries. The radium distributions and residence times described in this study serve as a baseline for future studies investigating the impacts of climate change on the Arctic Ocean.

  3. Abstract

    Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) plays a critical role in coastal and ocean biogeochemistry. Elucidating spatially and temporally heterogeneous SGD fluxes is difficult. Here we use radium isotopes to explore the external sources and mixing regime along the eastern coast of South Africa. We demonstrate that the long‐lived radium isotope compositions are controlled by low inputs of low‐ and high‐salinity terrestrial groundwater. While activities of228Ra and226Ra in beach porewaters are similar to coastal waters,224Ra is enriched by inputs of228Th from coastal seawater. Porewater ages, based on the production of224Ra from228Th, range from 0.3 to 2.3 days, indicating rapid flushing of the beach system. Unlike radium, however, nutrients follow a more complex pathway. We hypothesize that high total dissolved nitrogen (TDN) and phosphorus concentrations in beach porewaters (TDN ranges from 1 to >700 μM) and the coastal ocean (TDN ranges from 1 to >40 μM) are derived from a source not enriched in radium. We speculate that this source is terrestrial water flowing below the dune barrier at depths exceeding our beach sampling depths. This water likely flows upward through breaches in the confining layer into the beach or enters the ocean directly through paleochannels. The presence of high nutrient concentrations in the coastal ocean unaccompanied by high228Ra activities leads to the hypothesis of this additional nutrient source. These combined inputs may be of considerable importance to the coastal ecology of southeastern Africa, an oligotrophic ecosystem dominated by the nutrient‐poor Agulhas Current.

  4. Abstract

    Radium isotopes have been used to trace nutrient, carbon, and trace metal fluxes inputs from ocean margins. However, these approaches require a full accounting of radium sources to the coastal ocean including rivers. Here, we aim to quantify river radium inputs into the Arctic Ocean for the first time for226Ra and to refine the estimates for228Ra. Using new and existing data, we find that the estimated combined (dissolved plus desorbed) annual226Ra and228Ra fluxes to the Arctic Ocean are [7.0–9.4] × 1014dpm y−1and [15–18] × 1014dpm y−1, respectively. Of these totals, 44% and 60% of the river226Ra and228Ra, respectively are from suspended sediment desorption, which were estimated from laboratory incubation experiments. Using Ra isotope data from 20 major rivers around the world, we derived global annual226Ra and228Ra fluxes of [7.4–17] × 1015and [15–27] × 1015dpm y−1, respectively. As climate change spurs rapid Arctic warming, hydrological cycles are intensifying and coastal ice cover and permafrost are diminishing. These river radium inputs to the Arctic Ocean will serve as a valuable baseline as we attempt to understand the changes that warming temperatures are having on fluxes of biogeochemically important elements to the Arctic coastal zone.

  5. Unconventional oil and gas residual solid wastes are generally disposed in municipal waste landfills (RCRA Subtitle D), but they contain valuable raw materials such as proppant sands. A novel process for recovering raw materials from hydraulic fracturing residual waste is presented. Specifically, a novel hydroacoustic cavitation system, combined with physical separation devices, can create a distinct stream of highly concentrated sand, and another distinct stream of clay from the residual solid waste by the dispersive energy of cavitation conjoined with ultrasonics, ozone and hydrogen peroxide. This combination cleaned the sand grains, by removing previously aggregated clays and residues from the sand surfaces. When these unit operations were followed by a hydrocyclone and spiral, the solids could be separated by particle size, yielding primarily cleaned sand in one flow stream; clays and fine particles in another; and silts in yet a third stream. Consequently, the separation of particle sizes also affected radium distribution – the sand grains had low radium activities, as lows as 0.207 Bq g −1 (5.6 pCi g −1 ). In contrast, the clays had elevated radium activities, as high as 1.85–3.7 Bq g −1 (50–100 pCi g −1 ) – and much of this radium was affiliated with organics and salts that could be separated from the clays. We propose that the reclaimed sand could be reused as hydraulic fracturing proppant. The separation of sand from silt and clay could reduce the volume and radium masses of wastes that are disposed in landfills. This could represent a significant savings to facilities handling oil and gas waste, as much as $100 000–300 000 per year. Disposing the radium-enriched salts and organics downhole will mitigate radium release to the surface. Additionally, the reclaimed sand could have market value, and this could represent as much as a third of the cost savings. Tests that employed the toxicity characteristic leaching protocol (TCLP) on these separated solids streams determined that this novel treatment diminished the risk of radium mobility for the reclaimed sand, clays or disposed material, rendering them better suited for landfilling.
