- This $649,827 project grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture will fund research on indirect nitrous oxide emissions from agricultural drainage water, streams, and wetlands in Iowa watersheds. The awardee, Iowa State University, will rigorously measure nitrous oxide from corn and soybean agricultural systems in the Midwestern US Corn Belt. Nitrous oxide is a potent greenhouse gas and largest climate change contributor from Corn Belt...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $895,091 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Minnesota, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Projects Administration, to acquire a new shared, multi-user instrument - a dual-reagent chemical ionization mass spectrometer with high-resolution time-of-flight detection. This instrument, an Aerodyne VOCUS 2R CI-TOF, will enable the university to conduct new observations of both concentrations and fluxes of a wide variety of chemical...

The research aims to strengthen fundamental understanding of integrated Earth systems through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean...
- The Regents of the University of Minnesota received a $277,175 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant will fund the development of precipitation, evaporation and temperature records from tropical lake sediments and cave deposits for the last 700,000 years. This work supports the goals of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth,...
- The Regents of the University of Minnesota received a $368,342 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the project "MCA: Multi-Scale Considerations of Climatic Signatures on Debris Flows and Alluvial Fans" from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2024. The Geosciences program aims to strengthen understanding of Earth's integrated system through basic research support in atmospheric, Earth, and ocean sciences. This three-year grant will support...
- The Regents of the University of Minnesota received a three-year, $343,273 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant funds a collaborative research project titled "Sustainable Land and Water Resources - A Community Based Participatory Research Experience for Undergraduates." The project aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research and provide...
- This $415,000 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research led by Professors R. Lee Penn and Rene Boiteau at the University of Minnesota. The researchers are investigating how plant root exudates impact the stability and carbon content of iron oxide-organic matter assemblages in soils and sediments. The project aims to (1) quantify how organic matter is distributed and fractionated during...
- The University of South Carolina received a $147,450 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research exploring the dynamics of nitrous oxide in the Southern Benguela upwelling system from May 1, 2023 to April 30, 2027. The university will investigate nitrous oxide cycling in the region, estimate sea-to-air fluxes of nitrous oxide to the atmosphere, and examine what drives changes in nitrous...
- Montana State University was awarded a $395,476 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: NITROUS OXIDE REDUCTION IN OXYGEN MINIMUM ZONES: AN UNDERSTUDIED BUT CRITICAL LOSS TERM IN OCEAN GREENHOUSE GAS CYCLING." The three-year project beginning March 1, 2021 will fund research into nitrous oxide reduction processes in oxygen minimum zones, an...
The Regents of the University of Minnesota were awarded a $400,031 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences to conduct research titled "Collaborative Research: Isotopic Fingerprinting of Nitrous Oxide Emissions from the United States Corn Belt." The three-year award runs from August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2024. Under the grant, the University of Minnesota will work to strengthen understanding of integrated Earth systems through basic research in the atmospheric sciences. Specifically, the university will conduct research using isotopic analysis to trace the sources of nitrous oxide emissions from corn growing regions in the central United States. Nitrous oxide is an important greenhouse gas, and this research may provide insights to help mitigate emissions from agricultural activities. The work is supported by the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to expand fundamental knowledge in atmospheric and earth sciences.
