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
Report Generated on February 18, 2012
Page 21 of 34
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.
