The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution received a $598,499 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences on October 1, 2021 to complete the project by September 30, 2023. The grant supports research into cobalt biogeochemical cycling and phytoplankton protein biomarkers in the Pacific and Southern Oceans under the Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050). This program aims to expand fundamental Earth systems knowledge through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the award will fund research cruises to collect and analyze seawater and plankton samples to better understand cobalt cycling in the oceans and identify protein biomarkers to trace phytoplankton communities, helping advancing knowledge of marine biogeochemistry and ecosystems.
