About this award
The University of Connecticut has been awarded a research grant valued at $1,721,357 by NASA's Shared Services Center, with an ultimate completion date of January 15, 2028. The project, titled "Exploring the Role of Phytoplankton Community Composition in Air-Sea Carbon Exchange West of the Antarctic Peninsula Through Field and Satellite Measurements," will be performed at UConn's Storrs, Connecticut campus. This research grant supports scientific investigation into how different phytoplankton communities influence carbon exchange between the ocean and atmosphere in Antarctic waters, combining field-based measurements with satellite observation data to advance understanding of marine biogeochemistry and climate processes. The award carries no set-aside designation and was competitively awarded on January 16, 2024.
The University of Connecticut, a major land-grant research institution, will execute this work through its Office of Sponsored Programs, which manages the university's substantial federal research portfolio. UConn brings demonstrated expertise in environmental and coastal research, evidenced by its management of significant NOAA cooperative agreements for estuarine research and Long Island Sound investigations, as well as substantial oceanographic and atmospheric research capabilities. This Antarctic phytoplankton research aligns with NASA's broader Earth science mission objectives focused on understanding ocean biogeochemistry, carbon cycling, and climate system interactions through integrated field and remote sensing methodologies.
