During this talk, Caroline Peacock, Professor in Biochemistry, School of Environment, University of Leeds, provides an overview of her research in this area.
Overview:
The preservation of organic carbon in marine sediments is fundamentally important for Earth’s carbon and oxygen cycles, but the controls on carbon preservation remain unclear. Preservation can be enhanced by limiting exposure of carbon to oxygen, but on continental margins, where the majority of carbon preservation occurs, the relationship between oxygen exposure and burial efficiency is weak. In these environments in particular, additional preservation mechanisms are proposed, including the protection and preservation of carbon with sediment minerals.
The webinar was chaired by Clare Woulds, Professor of Marine Biogeochemistry, School of Geography, University of Leeds.
