The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $776,194 Project Grant to Stanford University from September 2021 through August 2024. The grant supports collaborative research to quantify nitrous oxide sources across an oxygen gradient in the northern Benguela upwelling system off the coast of Namibia and Angola. This research aligns with the Geosciences program's goal of expanding fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the grant will fund analysis of biogeochemical and physical processes influencing nitrous oxide distributions and emissions in this eastern boundary upwelling ecosystem. Results from this NSF-funded study are expected to advance scientific understanding of climate-active gas dynamics in low oxygen marine environments.
