The University of California Santa Cruz received a three-year, $543,521 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund collaborative research to quantify nitrogen fixation rates of non-cyanobacterial diazotrophs and determine environmental controls on their activity. As part of the Geosciences program's goal of expanding knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research, this project aims to strengthen understanding of nitrogen cycling in the ocean through measuring the rates at which these microbes fix nitrogen. The research will be conducted at the University of California Santa Cruz location in Santa Cruz, California over the grant period spanning April 1, 2021 through March 31, 2024.
