This project is focused on sulfate reduction rates in the               anoxic water column and superficial sediments of the Black Sea.                 In combination with measured organic-carbon burial-rates in the                 sediment column, and input rates determined by ongoing sediment                 trap studies, the results will provide important quantitative                   information of rates and depth distributions of both carbon and                 sulfur cycling.  Additional measurements of short-chain organic-                acid-concentration distributions plus in situ radiotracer                       turnover rates in the water column and sediments should provide                 new insights concerning the roles of organic acids, particularly                acetate, and other potentially significant intermediates.                               Water column rate measurements will be conducted by a field-            tested instrument, the Sampler Incubation Device (SID), that is                 capable of performing all operations of sample procurement,                     radiotracer introduction, incubation, and time series withdrawal                and fixation of subsamples directly in situ.  Sediment rate                     measurements will be conducted using free-fall tripod vehicles.                 These vehicles will be equipped with newly developed sediment                   injectors that will permit the accurate in situ introduction of                 radiotracers in a continuous track from a depth of 10 cm through                the surface and into the overlying fluff layer.
