Cutter, Greg (Professor)

Dr. Cutter is a chemical oceanographer who studies biological-chemical interactions in the world's oceans ("biogeochemistry"). One of these studies involves the production of trace sulfur gases in the surface ocean that affect the earth's radiation balance. One of these gases is carbonyl sulfide which emitted from the ocean to lower atmosphere (troposphere) and then into the stratosphere


where it oxidizes to sulfuric acid and forms radiation absorbing particles (stratospheric sulfate aerosol layer). Another study is the International GEOTRACES Program (www.geotraces.org) that is examining the cycling of trace elements and isotopes in the world's oceans. Some of these elements are essential micronutrients while others are toxic to marine plants/phytoplankton, and therefore affect photosynthesis, carbon dioxide uptake, and climate.

Noffke, Nora (Associate Professor)

Dr. Noffke works on benthic microbial communities that colonize the modern and ancient seafloor. The microbes affect physical and chemical sedimentary processes and form characteristic structures in the marine deposits. The structures do not only reflect the presence of benthic microorganisms, but they also allow insight into the local climatological conditions. Studies in modern marine settings showed that microbial structures from different climate zones vary in shapes and morphologies significantly. Dr. Noffke's research documented microbial structures from the polar, moderate, subtropical and tropical climate zone of modern Earth. Based on these results, Dr. Noffke reconstructed ancient paleoclimates for various Earth ages including the Archean Eon.
