The National Science Foundation awarded a $448,935 Project Grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution for research investigating the source and flux of dissolved organic carbon released from methane seeps to the deep ocean. The three-year award, made under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support collaborative research from April 1, 2021 to March 31, 2024. The Geosciences program seeks to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, this award will fund the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution to conduct research exploring the release and transport of dissolved organic carbon from methane seep sites to the surrounding deep ocean waters, advancing knowledge of carbon cycling processes in these environments.
