The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $304,365 Project Grant under the Geosciences program to Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, a non-profit marine research organization in East Boothbay, Maine. The 3-year grant, running from February 2024 to January 2027, focuses on investigating how emissions from various marine planktonic communities lead to particle nucleation in the atmosphere and how these emissions might evolve with a changing environment. The key objectives are to: (1)...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $239,679 will fund research at the University of Maine from November 2022 to October 2025 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The award will support understanding the biophysical drivers of methane source-sink transitions in northern forests. Researchers will examine how forest soil microbial communities respond to climate warming and identify conditions that could shift forests from net methane sinks to sources. Field...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $127,493 Project Grant under the Integrative Activities program to the University of Southern Maine to characterize mysid shrimp ecology and animal-fluid interactions in response to various environmental conditions. Over three years, the University will deploy an in-situ imaging system to conduct field experiments at the Damariscotta River Estuary in Maine, collecting data on mysid distributions, swimming behavior, and interactions with fluid flows...
This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences totals $260,930 to fund research conducted by the University of Maine from July 2021 through June 2024. The grant supports collaborative research into how the deep critical zone structure impacts the hydrology and coupled carbon cycling of northern peatlands.
