Nitrogen Isotope (BioGeo)chemistry (OPPORTUNITIES FOR NEW GRADUATE STUDENTS)
    - analytical methods (experimentation with carrier gas methods; Bebout et al., 2007, Chemical Geology)
    - field applications (cyclosilicates, eclogites, behavior during partial melting, fluid-mineral fractionation; incorporation
        during microbial chemical alteration of seafloor basalts)
    - preservation of N biogeochemical signatures in ancient sedimentary (collaborative with Linda Godfrey, Rutgers
        University)
    - records of deep N subduction in HP and UHP metabasaltic suites (collaborative with Ralf Halama, Universität Kiel;
        Timm John, Universität Münster; Maureen Feineman, Penn. State University)

We have recently analyzed C-N concentrations and isotopic compositions of sediment [and altered seafloor
basalt] recovered on ODP Legs 185 and 205 [see Sadofsky and Bebout, 2004, G-cubed; Li and Bebout, 2005, JGR
and ODP Leg 205 Scientific Results), with the goals of characterizing organic sources and diagenetic history
and subduction input fluxes in the Izu-Bonin-Mariana and Central American convergent margins.  Locations for
ODP Sites 1149, 801, and also the ongoing NanTroSEIZE project (in which we are also involved), are shown on
the seafloor topographic map above (image above is from Smith and Sandwell Global Seafloor Topography,
NOAA and Scripps Institution of Oceanography).
