This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $419,968 to Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi to conduct collaborative research on dissolved organic sulfur (DOS) biogeochemistry in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. The 3-year project aims to: 1) quantify the DOS inventory across the Pacific Ocean, 2) identify abiotic and biotic processes governing DOS production and removal, and 3) investigate the reactivity of DOS and its...
This $268,676 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund analysis of approximately 4 km of sediment cores recovered from the Guaymas Basin in the Gulf of California through the International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 385. Over a three-year period, the award will support a research team of three master's degree students mentored by two female professors to conduct lithofacies and petrofacies analyses of the cores. This work aims to...
This Project Grant award, valued at $442,114, was issued by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Texas at Austin. The objective of the research is to study how the pelagic calcifier communities in the South Atlantic Subtropical Gyre evolved from the early Eocene to the early Oligocene, and how those changes impacted carbonate production and burial at the seafloor. The project will generate data from sediment cores collected during...
