  • A Study of Methane-Related Processes in Freshwater
    A STUDY OF METHANE-RELATED PROCESSES IN FRESHWATER ECOSYSTEMS: METHANOGENESIS, ANAEROBIC METHANE OXIDATION, AND INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER TERMINAL METABOLISMS by KATHERINE EOWYN SEGARRA (Under the Direction of Samantha B. Joye) ABSTRACT This dissertation seeks to understand the seasonal controls of methane cycling in freshwater sediments. Using a combination of field measurements, radiotracer incubations, porewater characterization, lipid biomarker analysis, and stable carbon isotopes, pronounced seasonal variations in microbial carbon turnover were documented in a freshwater sediment and in two peat wetlands. Constraints of the methane budget in shallow (< 40 cm) sediments revealed a seasonal imbalance between methane fluxes and methane production that may be relieved through tidal pumping of methane-laden porewaters derived from adjacent high marsh through the creekbank. Rate measurements of sulfate reduction and the anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM), two processes not typically considered relevant in low salinity habitats, revealed their importance in freshwater settings. Seasonal variations in AOM may be driven by fluctuations in hydrogen and acetate dynamics generated by variations in other microbial metabolisms (e.g. sulfate reduction and methanogenesis). Lipid biomarker analysis revealed the presence of sulfate-reducing bacteria and archaea associated with methane cycling. However, seasonal variations in microbial metabolisms were not associated with changes in the lipid distribution. Stable carbon isotope analyses revealed the imprint of AOM on the signatures of methane and dissolved inorganic carbon. The influence of methanotrophy, however, was not as pronounced in the microbial lipid signatures. A potential AOM isotopic signal may have been diluted by methanogenesis and other autotrophic and heterotrophic processes, which may mask a clear methanotrophic signature.

    GCE-LTER ANNUAL REPORT OF ACTIVITIES, Year Five (2004-2005) Award NSF OCE 99-82133 Project Management Project Administration James Hollibaugh, Dept. of Marine Sciences, UGA; Steven C. Pennings, Univ. of Houston Administrative responsibilities have included organizing the GCE annual meeting, participating in LTER network coordinating committee meetings, and dealing with accounting, reporting and supplementary and continuation funding paperwork. Hollibaugh and Pennings split Coordinating Committee responsibilities with Pennings attending the spring meeting in Santa Barbara, CA and Hollibaugh attending the summer meeting in Fairbanks, AK. Hollibaugh also participated in a workshop (Coco Beach, FL) organized by LNO to develop a series of Grand Challenge questions to guide network synthesis in the next decade of LTER research. Science oversight responsibilities involved coordinating the efforts of scientists in different aspects of the study, and negotiating agreements with different agencies to supplement monitoring efforts. Our fourth year of Schoolyard LTER support provided an opportunity for teachers to participate in field research at the GCE-LTER site during the summer of 2004. Immediate supervision of the Schoolyard LTER is currently being provided by J.T. Hollibaugh, with the actual teacher training effort lead by Ms Trisha Hembree. Ms Hembree has been successful in augmenting the Schoolyard with funds from the Eisenhower Foundation. Web Site, Database, and Information Management Activities Wade Sheldon, Dept. of Marine Sciences, UGA Overview Information management activities this year were largely focused on strengthening existing support for LTER Network Information System initiatives, such as EML metadata, developing standards and software support for automatic synchronization of GCE metadata with the LTER Network Office and other metadata clearinghouses (NBII, KNB, SEEK Ecogrid), and supporting GCE investigators in data integration, analysis and synthesis projects.

    WRITTEN TESTIMONY OF: Samantha B. Joye, Ph.D. Athletic Association Distinguished Professor of Arts & Sciences Professor of Marine Sciences University of Georgia Athens, Georgia BEFORE THE U.S. SENATE COMMITTEE ON COMMERCE, SCIENCE, AND TRANSPORTATION HEARING: “Five Years After Deepwater Horizon: Improvements and Challenges in Prevention and Response” April 29, 2015 Good morning Chairman Thune, Ranking Member Nelson, and members of Committee. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to provide testimony regarding the lessons learned and long term environmental impacts of the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) / Macondo oil well blowout (hereafter Macondo Blowout), which devastated the Gulf of Mexico ecosystem beginning in April 2010. My name is Samantha Joye and I am a Distinguished Professor at the University of Georgia. My research examines the naturally-occurring microbial processes that mediate oil and gas cycling in the Gulf of Mexico and Arctic Ocean, two areas where natural seepage of hydrocarbons is widespread. I have published over 120 peer-reviewed papers on these and related subjects. I have worked in the Gulf of Mexico ecosystem for 20 years and continue to do so. For this hearing, I was asked to discuss what the scientific community has learned in the past five years in the wake of the Macondo Blowout, the lingering environmental impacts, as well as my thoughts on how to move forward so that we are better prepared as a research community and as a response community for the next incident. My comments represent the not only my opinions, but those of my colleagues within the consortium that I direct, and of the broader scientific Figure showing the locations of hazardous material community working in the Gulf spills in the Gulf since 2010.
