Abstract
The Arctic is one of the most rapidly warming regions on the planet, and rising air and sea temperatures are affecting interactions between the land and the Arctic Ocean. Radium isotopes are naturally produced in sediments and are soluble in seawater, making them a useful tool for monitoring these changes and understanding how land-derived elements are transported into the open ocean. Dr. Kipp will describe results from recent oceanographic sampling expeditions in the Arctic and discuss the important role that continental shelves play in controlling the chemistry of the Arctic Ocean.
Biography
Dr. Lauren Kipp is a chemical oceanographer with expertise in naturally occurring radioactive isotopes. She has an interest in how the oceans influence, and are influenced by, climate change. She holds a PhD from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution-Massachusetts Institute of Technology Joint Program in Oceanography. She is currently an assistant professor in the newly-formed Department of Environmental Science at Rowan University.
