Geochemical investigations of beryllium will be continued               that include studies of Be isotopes in aerosols, in rain, in                    ocean, river and estuarine waters and their particulate matter,                 and in marine deposits.  Particular attention will be paid to:                  determining the distribution and degree of isotopic                             homogenization of 10Be/9Be in the deep ocean, evaluating the                    7Be/10Be ratio as a tracer of oceanic process, exploring the                    use of pore water 9Be as an normalization parameter for the                     10Be geochronometry, and studying non-steady state elemental                    removal in surface ocean with multiple tracers of 7Be/10Be and                  U/Th series isotopes.  Planned field collections include water                  column 10Be/9Be study in the S. Atlantic, atmospheric 7Be/10Be                  study in Los Angeles, and Be and U-Th series isotope study in                   the San Pedro Basin off Southern California.  This project aims                 at gaining an understanding of the geochemical behavior and                     distribution of the isotopes of beryllium (10Be, 9Be, and 7Be)                  in the ocean-atmospheric system.  Such an understanding will                    provide insight and facilitate the use of these isotopes as                     tracers for a number of oceanographic and geophysical problems                  such as geochronology of marine deposits for the past 15                        million years, ocean mixing, particulate flux, trace element                    scavenging, variation of cosmic-ray and geomagnetic field                       intensity.
