The marine nitrogen cycle across the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) boundary at Maud Rise provides insight into an important environmental variable during the K-Pg extinction event, the redox state of the water column. This is because reactions in the marine nitrogen cycle are redox dependent, and evid...
