“Investigación colaborativa: Transporte bacterial no-local de nitrato en sedimentos bajo Zonas Deficientes
de Oxígeno: una nueva complicación en el ciclo del Nitrógeno”
10. Objetivo (s) (Objectives)
Investigar el ciclaje de Nitrógeno en sedimentos marinos y columna de agua dentro de la zona de mínimo
oxígeno a lo largo de la península de la Baja California.
11. Justificación del proyecto (Justification of the project)
El enfoque de este proyecto son las formas de remoción de nitrógeno de las regiones subóxicas del
océano: nuestro trabajo contribuirá a una mejor comprensión del ciclo marino del nitrógeno.
El enfoque de nuestro estudio es el ciclo anóxico de el nitrógeno. Por lo tanto necesitamos acceso a los
sedimentos subyacentes a las masas de agua libre de oxígeno. A lo largo de la costa occidental de Baja
California y Mexico, se encuentra una de las zonas más extensas de mínima de oxígeno. Por lo tanto, es
esencial para el éxito de el proyecto para trabajar en este ámbito.

SYNERGISTIC ACTIVITIES:
Co-Director/Instructor-International GeoBiology Summer course on Catalina Island; sponsored by Agouron
Institute and USC Wrigley Institute for Environmental Studies. A 6-week class taught by various instructors with
20 students from an international pool of applicants. This intensive course involved lectures, labs, field trips and
independent research for advanced graduate and post-doctoral students. I worked on logistics to make this
course happen, gave lectures, sponsored field and lab research, mentored students. This course has been held
6 years in a row with an applicant pool of 50-60 well qualified students applying each year. Students accepted
study at Harvard, MIT, Stanford, USC, Dartmouth, UT-Austin, U. Washington, Scripps, UNC, ETH etc. and we
12

have included international students from Chile, Uruguay, Peru, Greece, Cameroon, Indonesia and Turkey. The
summer course recently obtained funding from NSF to augment the financial support supplied by Agouron. The
NSF support is for 2005, 2006 and recently, 2008. In the fall, 2004 I taught ‘Crises of a Planet’, an
environmental geology course to 240 undergraduate students. This course included a weekly lab and a field trip
in which a polluted lake was sampled for water chemistry and sediment properties. I also teach ‘Oceanography’
to USC undergraduates and various graduate courses.
I have worked as a volunteer for the Ocean Sciences Bowl, and event for high school students who compete to
represent their school nationally by answering ocean-related questions. Our lab is setting up a mentoring
program for high school women who intern during summer.

RESEARCH
My research focuses on a number of broad issues related to the Earth's biogeochemical
evolution. This research includes specific studies on past climate and geochemical cycles,
modern geochemical processes, and how anthropogenic perturbations might influence
biogeochemical cycles in the future. My research includes examining elemental cycling in the
ocean, estuaries, rivers, and lakes.
Research interests (Selected topics):
• Uranium, molybdenum, cadmium, and vanadium geochemistry in marine sediments.
• Carbon, phosphorus, and trace metal cycling in Lakes.
• Millennial-scale variations in intermediate water masses of the South Pacific.
• Molybdenum stable isotope geochemistry in marine sediments.
• Germanium geochemisty.
• Iron and iron isotope geochemistry.
