In this study, pore-water and solid-phase samples were collected at four stations in the inner to mid Kongsfjorden, Svalbard, and analyzed in a multi-proxy geochemical approach, which included pore-water analyses, solid-phase operational reactive silica extractions, and lithium isotope analyses of pore-water. The goal of this study was to investigate possible forward and reverse weathering alteration in glacially influenced high-latitude systems by focusing on the early diagenetic processes occurring at several stations in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard, extending from the immediate vicinity of a marine-terminating glacier to a mid-fjord, bioturbated station. Our study focused on deciphering the pathways of the weathering reactions, and their relative roles in controlling reactive silica burial rates and benthic cation fluxes.

Early diagenetic forward and reverse weathering reactions play a significant role in controlling alkalinity fluxes and silica, alkali metal and alkaline earth metal cycling in coastal systems. In Kongsfjorden, Svalbard, the inputs of autochthonous biogenic debris (diatomaceous silica) and allochthonous lithogenic material of varying reactivity (dominated by clays, especially illite and chlorite, and primary aluminosilicates, mostly plagioclase) drive complex balances of diagenetic silicate reactions in sediments. The rapid dissolution of reactive silica results in the release of dissolved silica (Sid) into pore‐waters and sustains elevated benthic Sidfluxes (−0.2 to −0.8 mmol m−2 d−1), which are on the upper end of values previously determined for Arctic environments. Increases with depth in pore‐water lithium (Li+), potassium, magnesium, and barium concentrations within the top centimeters provided evidence for forward weathering of clays quickly upon burial. Due to the prevalent occurrence of forward weathering, the benthic net Li+flux was associated with a light isotope signal. Decreases in pore‐water rubidium concentrations with depth at the near‐glacier station, elevated ratios of the authigenically altered silica to the biogenic silica pool at all sites, and small increases of pore‐water δ7Li values with depth showed that reverse weathering also takes place. Anoxic incubation of diatom frustule probes provided further evidence for the neoformation of cation‐rich clays. The superposition of reverse and forward weathering results in cryptic silica and cation cycling that muted net benthic fluxes. In deeper sediments, changes in pore‐water solute patterns indicated an interconnected occurrence of reverse and forward weathering, potentially driven by reactive silica‐limitation.more » « less

X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis of streambed sediments:\n\nWe investigated the mineral composition of the particle size fraction < 63 µm (silt and clay fraction) of streambed sediments collected within the Brøggerbreen, Midtre and Austre Lovénbreen catchments by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis. The samples were collected in July 2020, dried and sieved. The measurements were performed at the University of Bremen (Germany) using a Philips X’Pert Pro diffractometer equipped with a Cu‐tube and a monochromator following the method by Vogt (2009). We evaluated the data using the QUAX full-pattern analysis software (Vogt et al., 2002) for semiquantitative determination of the major mineral composition.\n\nRadiochemical analysis of sediment cores:\n\nSediment cores were collected at 4 sites PN, IA, F, and V in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard, July 28 – 30, 2021. Gamma activities of 234Th, 7Be, 210Pb, 226Ra and 137Cs in core sections were measured in the radiochemistry lab (Prof. J.K. Cochran; Director) at the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, Stony Brook University. Samples from sectioned cores were dried at 75°C. Gamma activities were measured using Canberra planar intrinsic germanium gamma detectors as follows: 234Th (63 keV) activities were counted shortly after collection and then recounted 6 months later to determine the supported activity (238U) or in some cases by using the average 234Th activity from multiple intervals at depth in the same core. 7Be (477 keV) activities were measured in the initially counted samples. Corrections were made for self-absorption of gamma radiation by samples as a function of sample mass and counting geometry (Cochran et al., 1998). It is possible that corrections for geometries may change slightly based on subsequent study so that reported activities are subject to possible updates. \n\nThese data are dicussed and cited in:\n\nLaura M.

Cooperativity and non-additive interactions play central roles in the unusual and surprising behavior of water. A host of reactive oxygen species (ROS) including the hydroxyl radical •OH, superoxide radical anion (O2–•), hydroperoxide radical (HO2•), singlet oxygen (1O2), and also the more recently discussed water radical cation/anion pair (H2O+•/H2O–•) all add to the more familiar acid/base chemical pathways tread by hydronium (H3O+) and hydroxide (OH–). This is amplified in surface science because interfacial water – whether found at the gas/liquid, gas/solid, or liquid/solid interface – poses yet more unique behavior. This review explores the unexpected chemistry associated with ambient temperature aqueous interfaces much of which is mediated not only by ions and neutrals as expected, but also radical species. Water microdroplets catalyze numerous reactions and can also support simultaneous oxidation and reduction reactions through the production of reactive intermediates that owe their existence to the unique influence of the air/water or oil/water interface. Interfacial water influences and is influenced by the ubiquitous phenomenon of contact electrification, a manifestation of spontaneous symmetry breaking. The mechanisms of chemistry not only on and in microdroplets but also at the gas/solid and liquid/solid interfaces rely on a broad set of chemical transformations mediated by radicals. Furthermore, because aqueous macro- and micro-interfaces are ubiquitous on Earth, we find that water radical-mediated chemistry has applications to atmospheric chemistry, geochemistry, mineral weathering, pre-biotic chemistry, enhanced enzyme performance, wastewater remediation, public health, mechanochemistry, and potentially novel routes to pharmaceuticals.more » « less

Reactions between terrigenous sediments, marine-biogenic substances and seawater modulate multiple biogeochemical cycles, but the dynamics and factors governing these reactions are poorly constrained. Deltaic mobile muds are a major sedimentary facies along river-dominated ocean margins through which most terrigenous sediment transits and mixes with marine-biogenic matter, representing efficient and globally significant batch reactors. Here, we present a process-based model that combines equilibrium aqueous chemistry with kinetic concepts from sediment biogeochemistry and mineral sciences to explore the solution-mediated interplay of organic and inorganic matter alteration in episodically reworked deltaic muds. The model reproduces observed diagenetic conditions and product suites over the seasonal timescales relevant to deltaic systems and indicates a systematic and dynamic coupling between the sedimentary cycles of H+, C, P, Fe, S, Si, Mg, K, and Ca. We used the model in combination with published field observations and concepts of authigenic mineral occurrences to develop a generalized explanatory framework for silicate weathering fluxes and diagenetic reaction balances in marine sediments. Diagenetic silicate weathering is represented by a continuum of reaction balances with acid (reverse) and alkaline (forward) endmembers that is moderated by sediment sources, which determine the sediment’s weatheringpotential, and depositional environments, which govern theexpressionof this potential. Reverse weathering dominates in seasonally reworked, low-latitude deltaic muds, where green clays form rapidly from lateritic river sediments and biogenic silica under suboxic conditions. High mineral precipitation rates and protracted sediment remobilization drive large solute fluxes from/to these sediments. Net forward silicate weathering becomes more likely under steady, sustained anoxic conditions, particularly in volcanically-influenced settings and at minimal pre-weathering of sediment sources. These results further our understanding of the role silicate weathering and marine sediments play in global biogeochemistry and Earth system evolution, and can aid targeted ‘enhanced weathering’ strategies to environmental governance.more » « less
