The goals of this research are:  1)  to identify processes              controlling organic acid cycling associated with sulfate                        reduction and methanogenesis in organic-rich sediments:  2)  to                 understand controls on seasonal and non-steady state variations                 in these processes; and, 3) to establish quantitative linkages                  between the electron accepting processes and the input and                      degradation of specific classes of metabolizable organic                        compounds.                                                                              The research is divided into five sections: i) studies of               low molecular weight organic acid turnover, ii) use of bacterial                lipid ethers as tracers of microbial processes in anoxic                        sediments, iii) characterization of size classes and composition                of dissolved organic carbon, iv) studies of temporal variations                 in organic matter delivery and degradation processes; and, v)                   studies of early diagenesis in upper slope sediments.  The work                 will be carried out in nearshore marine, estuarine and upper                    slope sedimentary environments.
