This project is an investigation of how iron oxyhydroxide               reduction, organic-B complexation, and biogenic opal                            dissolution will combine and interact in sediment to produce                    observed boron concentrations patterns.  The research will be                   conducted in the laboratory where problems can be simplified by                 reducing the number of variables that affect boron                              distribution.  After conceptual models of the control                           mechanisms have been developed the work will be extended to the                 field.  The initial experiments will consist of quantifying the                 effect on the boron distribution as different solutes and                       solids are added to the sediment.  Three different types of                     sediment will be tested.  The results will facilitate the                       evaluation of boron as a paleo-environmental indicator, will                    advance understanding of the behavior of boron and silicon in                   marine sediments, and will improve calculations of carbonate                    equilibria.
