The University of California, Santa Barbara will research carbon storage in mangrove ecosystems via abiotic sulfurization under a $497,604 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences' Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The three-year award beginning July 1, 2021 will fund basic research to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through investigating the ability of mangrove ecosystems to store carbon through abiotic sulfurization processes. By exploring this potential carbon storage mechanism in mangroves, the research aims to expand fundamental knowledge of the Earth system and climate change mitigation strategies. The place of performance is Santa Barbara, California.
