About this award
East Carolina University was awarded a $249.8K grant by a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center on June 29, 2021, to conduct research on blue carbon prototype products for mangrove methane and carbon dioxide fluxes under the BLUEFLUX project. The grant, which carries an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2024, represents the university's capabilities in environmental and climate-related research. The award was issued without a set-aside designation and will be performed at ECU's Greenville, North Carolina campus. This research aligns with the university's established strengths in coastal resilience, marine ecosystem studies, and climate change impacts—areas for which ECU has successfully secured funding from agencies including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency.
The BLUEFLUX project focuses on quantifying carbon dynamics in mangrove ecosystems, contributing to blue carbon science that supports coastal environmental management and climate change mitigation strategies. ECU's selection for this research reflects its recognized expertise in marine sciences and its commitment to addressing complex environmental challenges through interdisciplinary research approaches. As a comprehensive public research university within the University of North Carolina system, ECU leverages its federal partnerships and established research infrastructure to advance scientific understanding of coastal carbon sequestration processes that inform policy and conservation efforts.
