| Speaker: Dr. Thomas Bianchi, Jon and Beverly Thomson Endowed Chair, Department of Geological Sciences, University of Florida | |
| Seminar Title: Carbon Remineralization and Burial in the Coastal Margin: Linkages in the Anthropocene | |
| Seminar Description: Continental margin systems collectively receive and store vast amounts of organic carbon (OC) derived from primary productivity both on land and in the ocean, thereby playing a central role in the global carbon cycle. The land-ocean interface is however extremely heterogeneous in terms of terrigenous inputs, marine primary productivity, sediment transport processes and, depositional conditions such as bottom water oxygen levels. Continental margins are also highly dynamic, with processes occurring over a broad range of spatial and temporal scales. The rates of organic carbon burial and oxidation are consequently variable over both space and time, hindering our ability to derive a global picture of OC cycling at the land-ocean interface. Here, I review the processes controlling the fate of organic matter in continental margin sediments with a special emphasis on “hot spots” and “hot moments” of OC burial and oxidation. I present a compilation of compositional data from a set of illustrative settings, including fjords, small mountainous river margins, large deltaic systems and upwelling areas. Bulk organic carbon stable isotope and radiocarbon compositions reveal the diversity and complexity characteristic of organic carbon buried in marginal seas. This primarily relates to the differences in marine and terrestrial inputs, the composition of the terrestrial component (e.g. vascular plant OC, soil, and petrogenic OC inputs), and processes modulating the fate of organic carbon within the marine environment (e.g., priming). This widely contrasting behavior illustrates that the reactivity of organic carbon is a product of its chemical composition and ecosystem properties. Interpreted in the context of bulk compositional data as well as that obtained on specific molecular markers (e.g., lignin-derived phenols), the possibility exists to tease apart complex mixtures of terrestrial and marine inputs, and to shed light on the role of the myriad depositional and post-depositional processes. | |

|
| Speaker: Dr. Shemin Ge, 2016 Birdsall-Dreiss Distinguished Lecturer, Geological Society of America, University of Colorado-Boulder, Professor of Hydrogeology, Department of Geological Sciences | |
| Seminar Title: Fluid Induced Earthquakes: Insights from Hydrogeology and Poro-mechanics | |
| Seminar Description: Beginning in the 1960s, pore fluid pressure was identified as the primary culprit for inducing earthquakes reported near deep fluid-injection wells and newly built surface reservoirs worldwide. As these human activities continue and grow, induced seismicity has surged in recent decades at some but not all sites. This increase in seismicity raises the question of what fundamental hydrogeologic and poro-mechanics processes and parameters make some sites more prone to induced seismicity. This lecture will offer an overview and physical insights of fluid induced seismicity from hydrologic and poro-mechanics perspectives. Two contrasting case studies are used to illustrate how pore fluid pressure could have played a role in observed seismicity, one near a deep well fluid injection in the geologically quiescent region in the central US, and the other near a surface reservoir in a tectonically active region. High rate of fluid input emerges as an important player in contributing to induced seismicity. The first few years of fluid injection or reservoir impoundment is typically a critical period when seismic hazard is elevated. While pre-existing faults dictate earthquake locations, the spatial extent of pore pressure influence could reach tens of kilometres from fluid injection or reservoir impoundment sites. Continued research in this direction will not only offer a better understanding of the hydrogeologic and seismologic processes but also help to guide best practices in the quest for water and energy resources in coming decades. | |
