Excellent seminar talk today by Dr Elizabeth Leon-Palmero on her discovery of #photochemodenitrification & nitrous oxide production in aquatic systems. 2025 Science paper: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Check out her website for her impressive research & outreach: eleonpalmero.com

Seminar poster containing the text

Title: Photochemodenitrification Unveiled: Illuminating Aquatic Nitrous Oxide Production
Abstract: Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent greenhouse gas and the main agent depleting stratospheric ozone. During the last decade, its atmospheric levels have risen faster than previously estimated, highlighting the need to better understand its sources. While microbial processes like ammonia oxidation and denitrification are known contributors, our recent research has uncovered a novel
abiotic pathway-photochemodenitrification-where sunlight drives N20 production from nitrite in oxygen-rich surface fresh and marine waters. In addition, photochemodenitrification exceeded
biological NOproduction in surface waters. Our latest findings reveal that this photochemical process also occurs in polar regions and the tropical open ocean, emphasizing its global distribution.
Because it occurs in surface waters in direct contact with the atmosphere, photochemodenitrification
holds the potential to contribute significantly to N20 emissions.
