Abstract
The proposed project represents a detailed study of organic carbon dynamics in the coastal marine environment using carbon isotope measurements. The stable carbon isotope composition of individual compounds will be used to determine source characteristics of organic carbon in sediments, while radiocarbon measurements will be used to define the carbon budgets and chronology of the sediment. Additionally, the programme proposed here combines field, laboratory and modelling investigations to couple the carbon and sulphur cycles, including Fe and Mn. With the obtained data we will be able to assess present and paleoecological processes of the elements studied, and thus the extent of eutrophication and anthropogenic pollution in the Gulf of Trieste.
