The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $174,318 Project Grant to the University of Hawaii at Manoa (UH) under the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to establish the use of Raman spectroscopy for constraining the degree of calcium carbonate saturation in the calcifying fluids of marine calcifying organisms. This 3-year collaborative research project aims to generate Raman calibrations for magnesium content and carbonate saturation state that can be...
The National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) awarded a $311,139 Project Grant to the College of Charleston for the purpose of acquiring a Raman spectroscopy system to enhance the study of microplastics in environmental samples. Raman spectroscopy will allow researchers to accurately and efficiently determine the polymer composition of suspected microplastics, addressing limitations of existing methods like visual inspection and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy....
The University of Hawaii at Manoa was awarded a $912,167 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to characterize key components of biological carbon cycling in the Pacific Ocean through March 2026. Under the award, the university will use profiling floats equipped with oxygen and particulate carbon sensors to measure production and respiration rates across the Pacific Ocean on a daily basis and over all seasons. Ship-based measurements will also...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $158,324 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Hawaii (UH) to characterize the effects of ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) on coral reef ecosystems and atmospheric carbon dioxide. The research project aims to: 1) quantify the dissolution rate of olivine minerals used in OAE and their impact on reef communities and carbon dioxide levels; 2) develop biogeochemical models to predict...
This $297,369 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research evaluating the contribution of small eukaryotes to nitrate-based new production in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. Over a three-year period ending November 2025, the University of Hawaii at Manoa will conduct laboratory and ship-based research to better understand how phytoplankton access subsurface nitrogen in surface waters during summer months. Researchers will sort phytoplankton...
This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences provides $507,547 to the University of Hawaii at Manoa to conduct research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: ISOTOPIC INDICATORS FOR MECHANISMS OF ORGANIC MATTER DEGRADATION UNDER HIGH PRODUCTIVITY AND HIGH CARBON FLUX CONDITIONS (EXPORTS)." The research aims to develop isotopic indicators to study organic matter degradation under conditions of high biological productivity and carbon flux in...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $199,831 Project Grant to the University of Hawaii at Manoa under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support the final development and at-sea testing of a Hadal Water Column Profiler. The profiler, capable of reaching depths of 11 km, will allow for repeated vertical profiling of temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, turbulent mixing, current velocity, acoustic backscatter, and video. It also features an...
This $200,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to investigate the impact of changes in seawater carbonate chemistry, such as ocean acidification, on shell formation in tropical marine bivalves. The research will be conducted at the State University of New York, College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY ESF) and the University of Hawai'i, Hilo. The project aims to identify the specific carbonate...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project to calibrate the use of Raman spectroscopy for measuring the degree of calcite saturation in the calcifying fluids of marine organisms. The $117,736 award to Tulane University will run from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026. The research aims to establish Raman spectroscopy as a simple, rapid, and non-destructive method to constrain the calcite...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support the development of a next-generation in-situ instrument for measuring the volume scattering function and degree of linear polarization of light in the ocean. The $847,482 award to Florida Atlantic University aims to provide a powerful new tool for studying particle composition and refining optical-biogeochemical proxies. The instrument will cover a wide range of scattering angles,...
