Conclusion & Future Goals• Preliminary data suggest an easier indirect proxy to
estimate SOD exists
• Which proxies consistently fluctuate with SODs in SEUS estuaries?
• Can we build and validate a diagenesis model, using an empirical model based on the Chesapeake Bay Sediment Flux Model for SOD estimation?
• Why do certain factors fluctuate with SOD?
