1. Derive the analytical function representing the measured porosity data. (assume steady state compaction) 2. Calculate the mean burial velocity based on the observed 14C ages in the surface sediments. 3. How does the porewater velocity vary with depth? (use results from 1 2) 4. The sediment contains 1 wt% of POC (particulate organic carbon). How much mmol of carbon is available for reactions in 1 L of porewater? 5. What is the corresponding flux of POC onto the sediment surface? (use results from 1, 2 3) 6. Why do FPOC values typically decrease with water depth, distance to the shoreline and sediment depth? Questions 1. Derive the analytical function representing the measured porosity data. (assume steady state compaction) Answers Non-linear least-squares fit (with e.g., Mathematica, Matlab, Origin, Gnuplot) ? Minimizes the sum of the squares of the difference between calculated function value and measured data point : ?(?i - ?i,calc)2 = min Initial set of free parameter values: ?0 = 0.8, ?oo = 0.4, ? = 0.0001 cm-1 Fit converged after 65 iterations. Final sum of squares of residuals : 0.020035 Final set of parameters 2? standard error ?0 = 0.914522 +/- 0.007007 (0.7662%) ?oo = 0.600039 +/- 0.01986 (3.31%) ? = 0 +/- 0.00117 (13.99%) Correlation matrix of the fit parameters: ?0 ?oo ? ?0 1.000 ?oo 0.615 1.000 ? 0.746 0.962 1.000 1.
