The University of Washington was awarded a two-year, $295,699 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs to conduct research titled "THE ROLE OF SOUTHERN OCEAN IRON LIMITED DIATOMS IN MODULATING COPPER SPECIATION." The grant is part of NSF's Polar Programs, which provides funding under Assistance Listing Number 47.078 to strengthen understanding of polar regions through basic research best conducted in or related to the Arctic and Antarctic. Specifically, the University will use the funding to study how iron-limited diatoms in the Southern Ocean influence the chemical form of copper in marine environments. The research aims to expand fundamental knowledge of biogeochemical cycles in polar ecosystems relevant to the program's objectives. The grant period runs from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2023 and performance will take place in Seattle, Washington.
