Timeseries of binned benthic stable carbon isotope from ODP Site 162-982,130-807 and ODP Site 162-982

This dataset contains C. wuellerstorfi stable carbon isotope values binned by marine isotope stage from ODP Site 162-807 and ODP Site 162-982 that span the last 4.5 million years (Feng et al. 2022; Venz et al. 1999, 2002; Hodell & Venz-Curtis 2006). This isotope gradient reflects the accumulation of respired and disequilibrium carbon in the deep Pacific ocean relative to the North Atlantic. Also included are binned probstack δ18O (Ahn et al., 2017) and ΔGMST (Clark et al., 2024) values for comparison to the binned stable carbon isotope values.

Pore water data of sediment incubation experiments under anoxic conditions

Enhanced mineral dissolution in the benthic environment is currently discussed as a potential technique for ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels. This study explores how biogeochemical processes affect the dissolution of alkaline minerals in surface sediments during laboratory incubation experiments. These involved introducing dunite and calcite to organic-rich sediments from the Baltic Sea under controlled conditions in an anoxic to hypoxic environment. The sediment cores were incubated with Baltic Sea bottom water. Eight sediment cores were positioned vertically in a rack. Since the sediment surface was slightly oxidized by the bottom water (∼125 μmol l−1 upon recovery), the cores were left plugged on the top for 13 days to settle after recovery until the sediment surface was anoxic. To achieve chemical conditions that are expected in the natural system, 500l of retrieved sea water were degassed via bubbling with pure dinitrogen gas in batches of 100 l. Afterwards, between 50 and 60 l were transferred into an evacuated gas tight bag. After the transfer, pH and total alkalinity (TA) were measured to determine the dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) of the water. Afterwards the DIC was increased via adding pure CO2 until a CO2 partial pressure (pCO2 ) of ∼2,300–∼3,300 μatm was established mimicking conditions prevailing in Boknis Eck during summer. Stirring heads were installed on the cores. To prevent the development of oxic conditions, it was ensured that as little gas phase as possible was left in the cores. Elimination of pelagic autotrophs, heterotrophs, and suspended particles was achieved by flushing the cores with modified bottom water for 2 days with a flow rate of 1.5 mml min−1. Afterwards, a continuous throughflow of 700 μl min−1 from the reservoir of modified bottom water was applied, leading to a residence time of ∼2.1 days inside the cores. For the experimental incubations, six cores received additions of alkaline materials, three with calcite (Cal1 - Cal3) and three cores with dunite (Dun1 - Dun3), leading to three replicates per treatment. Two control cores remained untreated (C1, C2). The amount of added substrate was based on the rain rate of particulate organic carbon observed in Boknis Eck (0.5 mmol cm−2 a−). The incubation lasted for 25 days. The volume of water in each core was determined at the end of the experiment via measuring the height of the water column after removing the stirring heads. At the end of the experiments, the bottom water was removed via suction and the cores were sliced for pore water analysis. The pore waters were recovered by centrifuging each respective sediment layer in 50 ml falcon tubes at 3000 rpm for 10 minutes. Afterwards, the supernatant water was transferred to polyethylene (PE) vials in an Ar-filled glove bag to minimize contact with oxygen. All samples were filtered through a 0.2 µm cellulose membrane filter and refrigerated in 25 ml ZinsserTM scintillation vials. TA samples (1 ml) were titrated with 0.02N HCl. For H2S, an aliquot of pore water was diluted. A 5 ml aliquot was frozen directly after the sampling procedure for later nutrient analysis. Nutrient measurements were performed either via manual photometric measurement (NH4) or using a Seal – AnalyticalTM QuAAtro autoanalyzer (PO43-). Samples for TA were analyzed directly after sampling by titration of 1 ml of bottom/pore water with 0.02N HCl. Titration was ended when a stable purple color appeared. During titration, the sample was degassed by continuous bubbling with nitrogen to remove any generated CO2 and H2S. The acid was standardized using an IAPSO seawater standard. Acidified sub-samples (30 μl suprapure HNO3- + 3 ml sample) were prepared for analyses of major and trace elements (Si, Na, K, Li, B, Mg, Ca, Sr, Mn, Ni and Fe) by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES, Varian 720-ES). For H2S, an aliquot of pore water was diluted with appropriate amounts of oxygen-free artificial seawater and the H2S was fixed by immediate addition of zinc acetate gelatin solution

Compilation of global Archean and Paleoproterozoic sanukitoid geochemical data

Sanukitoids, also referred to as high-Mg diorites, are a distinctive type of igneous rock from the late Archean-early Proterozoic, and are characterised by enrichment in both compatible elements (e.g. Mg, Ni, Cr) and incompatible elements (e.g. Ba, Sr, light rare earth elements). Their geochemistry is typically interpreted as recording petrogenesis of their parental magmas via interaction between mantle peridotite and recycled crust-derived component (e.g. metabasite melts, sediment melts, aqueous fluids), and is often considered to be "transitional" between that of Archean sodic tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite (TTG) suites and post-Archean potassic granites. This dataset presents a global compilation of all Archean-Paleoproterozoic rocks that have been described as "sanukitoid" in published literature, and consists of over 3600 individual samples. Whole rock major and trace element concentrations, radiogenic isotope compositions and stable isotope compositions are compiled in the dataset alongside reported magmatic ages of the samples. The dataset is provided both as an Excel workbook divided by craton (file: 2025-003_Spencer-et-al_Sanukitoid-Compilation.xlsx) and as a single CSV file (file: 2025-003_Spencer-et-al_Sanukitoid-Compilation.csv). Sanukitoid magmatism has been described on almost every Archean craton globally. Most reported sanukitoid magmatism occurred during the late Mesoarchean-Neoarchean (2.95 - 2.5 Ga), with another peak in sanukitoid magmatism in the mid-Paleoproterozoic (2.2 - 2.0 Ga). Older sanukitoid occurrences dating back to the Paleoarchean (>3.2 Ga) are also described in the literature.

Agroecological Transitions for Climate Adaptation and Mitigation

Globally, agriculture covers 40% of the earth’s surface and food systems are responsible for one-third of humanity’s contribution to global climate change. Yet, smallholder and subsistence farmers are among the most vulnerable to climate change, with extreme weather events and related food price volatility affecting livelihoods, biodiversity, and food security at multiple scales. This project builds on transdisciplinary research on agroecological transitions in vulnerable farming communities in Canada, Germany, India and Brazil. We will examine the influence of agroecological networks (farming organizations, institutional actors, and consumer groups) in promoting the perennialization of agriculture to support climate adaptation (improving resilience in livelihoods and food security) and mitigation (increasing carbon sequestration). Perennialization of agriculture integrates annual and perennial crops and trees into the same farming system. Compared to annual cropping systems which currently dominate global agriculture and markets, perennial crops show promise for climate adaptation and mitigation because of their contributions to carbon sequestration in tree biomass and soil organic carbon, and their buffering effects against soil degradation, drought, and other forms of extreme weather and climate variability. From a social wellbeing perspective, agroforestry and other diversified perennial systems offer opportunities to adapt to climate change and escape poverty traps, including higher and more stable farm incomes, balanced agricultural labour across growing seasons, improved working conditions compared to more input-intensive forms of agriculture and improved nutrition and health. Using a participatory action research approach, this project will use a novel methodology to test the relationships between personal, political, and practical leverage points driving the adoption of agroforestry and other practices supporting agricultural perennialization. We will sample farms and organizations in each case study across a diversification gradient from low-diversity farming systems to perennial and agroforestry-based management systems. We will then use qualitative and quantitative methods to assess climate resilience outcomes and estimate the potential of scaling adoption of perennial and agroforestry practices. A cross-case synthesis will take local institutional, environmental, and relational contexts into account to inform decision-making.

Felsenpinguine als Zeiger für Ökosystemwandel im subantarktischen Südpolarmeer

In marinen Lebensräumen können Seevögel als wertvolle Indikatoren für Nahrungsressourcen und die Produktivität des marinen Ökosystems dienen. Studien zeigen deutliche Veränderungen in marinen Ökosystemen, und eine Art, die auf solche Veränderungen empfindlich reagiert, ist der Südliche Felsenpinguin Eudyptes chrysocome (IUCN-Kategorie gefährdet). Analysen neuerer und historischer Daten deuten darauf hin, dass Felsenschreibepinguine in einem sich erwärmenden Ozean schlechter überleben und sich vermehren und dass der Klimawandel sie in mehreren Phasen der Brut- und Nicht-Brutsaison beeinflussen kann. Mehr als ein Drittel der Gesamtpopulation dieser Art brütet auf den Falklandinseln, wo die Populationen besonders stark zurückgehen, und unsere früheren Studien (2006-2011) hier haben auf reduzierte Überlebenswahrscheinlichkeiten unter zunehmend warmen Meerestemperaturen und leichtere Eier unter wärmeren Umweltbedingungen hingewiesen. Die zugrunde liegenden Ursachen für diese Veränderungen sind jedoch noch wenig bekannt. Das vorliegende Projekt knüpft an frühere Studien an, aber wir werden neu verfügbare Technologien anwenden, nämlich viel kleinere GPS-Beschleunigungs-Datenlogger, um die noch unbekannten Phasen der Brutzeit und die für die Futtersuche verwendete Energie zu untersuchen, und Analysemethoden aus dem Machine Learning („künstliche Intelligenz“) und der Energielandschaften-Modellierung. Komponentenspezifische stabile Isotopenanalysen und Metabarcodierung von Kotproben werden zudem eingesetzt, um die Ernährung während der verschiedenen Phasen des Brutzyklus zu untersuchen. Wir werden auch Zeitrafferkameras einsetzen und über "Penguin watch" - ein Toolkit zur Extraktion großflächiger Daten aus Kamerabildern und zur Einbeziehung der Öffentlichkeit - bürgernahe Wissenschaft betreiben. Insgesamt wollen wir verstehen, warum Südliche Felsenpinguine eine besonders empfindliche Art bei sich erwärmenden Meeresbedingungen sind.
