Silicon stable isotope ratios (expressed as δ30Si) in biogenic silica have been widely used as a proxy for past and present biogeochemical cycling in both marine and lacustrine settings, in particular for nutrient utilization reconstructions. Yet an analysis of publication trends suggests a significant decline in the application of δ30Si to Quatern...

The geochemistry of biogenic carbonates has long been used as proxies to record changing seawater parameters. However, the effect of ocean acidification on seawater chemistry and organism physiology could impact isotopic signatures and how elements are incorporated into the shell. In this study, we investigated the geochemistry of three reservoirs...
Article
The dissolution of silicate minerals on the seafloor releases an important amount of dissolved silicon (dSi), which is necessary for maintaining high diatom production in Coastal and Continental Margin Zones (CCMZs). However, the dissolution of silicate minerals along the continental shelves is variable, which hinders our understanding of the ma...

Ocean acidification (OA) is a severe threat to coral reefs mainly by reducing their calcification rate. Identifying the resilience factors of corals to decreasing seawater pH is of paramount importance to predict the survivability of coral reefs in the future. This study compared corals adapted to variable pHT (i.e., 7.23– 8.06) from the semi-enclo...

The Coastal and Continental Margin Zones (CCMZs) contribute to 40% of the total burial flux of biogenic silica (bSi) of the world ocean. However, the accurate determination of the bSi content (bSiO2%) in marine sediments remains a challenge. The alkaline methods commonly used to quantitatively determine bSiO2% can completely digest the amorphous si...

Marine silicon cycle is one of the key biogeochemical cycles in the marine realm which can regulate the global atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration, pH of seawater and it also plays a significant role in the geochemical cycles of many other elements, such as nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), iron (Fe) and aluminum (Al). The close intertwined coupli...

Biological productivity in the ocean directly influences the partitioning of carbon between the atmosphere and ocean interior. Through this carbon cycle feedback, changing ocean productivity has long been hypothesized as a key pathway for modulating past atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and hence global climate. Because phytoplankton preferentiall...

The element silicon (Si) is required for the growth of silicified organisms in marine environments, such as diatoms, which consume vast amounts of Si together with N, P, and C, connecting the biogeochemical cycles of these elements. Thus, understanding the Si cycle in the ocean is critical for understanding issues such as carbon sequestration by th...

At the place where the submarine Aden Ridge encroaches on the African continent and interacts with the East African Rift system, two small basins form: Ghoubbet-al-Kharab and Lake Asal. Whereas Ghoubbet-al-Kharab is connected to the open ocean, Lake Asal is a typical example of oceanic “embryo”, which is defined as a system that is detached from th...

The response of marine-calcifying organisms to ocean acidification (OA) is highly variable, although the mechanisms behind this variability are not well understood. Here, we use the boron isotopic composition (δ ¹¹ B) of biogenic calcium carbonate to investigate the extent to which organisms’ ability to regulate pH at their site of calcification (p...

The boron isotope composition (δ11B) of marine biogenic carbonates has been predominantly studied as a proxy for monitoring past changes in seawater pH and carbonate chemistry. However, a number of assumptions regarding chemical kinetics and thermodynamic isotope exchange reactions are required to derive seawater pH from δ11B biogenic carbonates. I...

Balanced budgets for dissolved inorganic N (DIN) and particulate N (PN) were constructed for the Strait of Georgia (SoG), a semi-enclosed coastal sea off the west coast of British Columbia, Canada. The dominant control on the N budget is the advection of DIN into and out of the SoG via Haro Strait. The annual influx of DIN by advection from the Pac...

Fractionation of silicon (Si) isotopes was measured in seven species (nine strains) of polar and sub-polar marine diatoms grown in semi-continuous unialgal cultures under optimal irradiance and temperature for each diatom strain. Results from this work provide the first evidence that Si isotope fractionation by diatoms is species-dependent. The gre...
Conference Paper
Variations in the natural abundance of stable isotopes of silicon (expressed as δ30Si in %) are a key tool for studying the marine silicon (Si) cycle in modern and ancient oceans. In particular, this tool can be used to track relative differences in silicic acid drawdown in surface waters by siliceous microplankton. Diatoms are siliceous phytoplank...
Thesis
This research endeavoured to lay the groundwork in understanding the oceanic cycling of silicon (Si) during the past, with a particular focus on the Southern Ocean, using a multi-proxy and multi-organism approach. Two oceanographic tracers, one based on the fractionation of natural abundances of stable Si isotopes and the other based on the germani...
