This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences provides $549,956 to the University of Miami from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2024.
The funding supports measurements of the trace gases chlorofluorocarbons and sulfur hexafluoride as part of the US GEOTRACES GP17-OCE project. GEOTRACES is a multi-national program studying the global marine biogeochemical cycles of trace elements and their isotopes. The University of Miami will conduct oceanographic research from their location in Key Biscayne, Florida under this award.
The work furthers the goals of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which provides basic research funding to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Measurements of anthropogenic trace gases contribute to knowledge of ocean processes and human impacts on the global environment.
