Relative to their surface area, continental margins represent some of the largest carbon
fluxes in the global ocean, but sparse and sporadic sampling in space and time makes
these systems difficult to characterize and quantify. Recognizing the importance of
continental margins to the overall North American carbon budget, terrestrial and marine
carbon cycle scientists have been collaborating on a series of synthesis, carbon budgeting,
and modeling exercises for coastal regions of North America, which include the Gulf of
Mexico, the Laurentian Great Lakes (LGL), and the coastal waters of the Atlantic,
Pacific, and Arctic Oceans. The Coastal CARbon Synthesis (CCARS) workshops and
research activities have been conducted over the past several years as a partner activity
between the Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry (OCB) Program and the North
American Carbon Program (NACP) to synthesize existing data and improve quantitative
assessments of the North American carbon budget.

Wang, Zhaohui Aleck; Wanninkhof, Rik; Cai, Wei-Jun; Byrne, Robert H.; Hu, Xinping; Peng, Tsung-Hung; Huang, Wei-Jen (Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography, 2013-01)Distributions of total alkalinity (TA), dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), and other parameters relevant to the marine inorganic carbon system were investigated in shelf and adjacent ocean waters during a U.S. Gulf of Mexico ... -
Unexpected diversity of bacteria capable of carbon monoxide oxidation in a coastal marine environment, and contribution of the Roseobacter-cssociated clade to total CO oxidation
Tolli, John D.; Sievert, Stefan M.; Taylor, Craig D. (American Society for Microbiology, 2006-03)The species diversity, phylogenetic affiliations, and physiological activity rates of carbon monoxide-oxidizing microorganisms were investigated, using new isolates from surface waters collected from the coast of New England ... -
Role of iron and organic carbon in mass-specific light absorption by particulate matter from Louisiana coastal waters
Estapa, Margaret L.; Boss, Emmanuel S.; Mayer, Lawrence M.; Roesler, Collin S. (Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography, 2012-01)We investigated the influences of organic content and mineralogical composition on light absorption by mostly mineral suspended particles in aquatic and coastal marine systems. Mass-specific absorption spectra of suspended ...
