This $711,586 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at North Carolina State University to analyze thirty years of foraminiferal assemblages from the Santa Barbara Basin. The grantee will create a record of planktic foraminifera abundances from stored samples collected in the basin and connect the results to modern oceanographic measurements and older seafloor sediments. This will improve understanding of how climate change has...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $272,065 Project Grant to the University of Alabama under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to support research on planktic foraminifera from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2024. The grant will fund a study using electron backscatter diffraction and nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry to evaluate changes in biomineral structure, organic matter distribution, and relative nitrogen content of foraminifera...
This $300,774 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research effort to better understand the transfer of particulate organic carbon to the deep ocean, particularly in low-oxygen ocean regions. The primary objectives are to measure particle abundance, size, sinking rates, and remineralization in the Eastern Tropical North Pacific Oxygen Minimum Zone, and incorporate these observations into a mechanistic particle...
This $137,593 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research to improve understanding of how oxygen minimum zones in the ocean impact the transfer of particulate organic carbon to depth. The University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES) will lead this 3-year project, which aims to measure particle abundance, size, sinking rates, and remineralization in the Eastern Tropical North Pacific oxygen...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $561,018 project grant to the University of South Carolina under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research examining three decades of foraminiferal assemblages in the Santa Barbara Basin. Over the three-year period from July 2022 to June 2025, the University will create a thirty-year record of planktic foraminifera abundances from stored samples collected in the Santa Barbara Basin, California....
This three-year, $659,297 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research into the effects of high pressure on microbially-catalyzed organic matter degradation in the deep ocean. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, in collaboration with researchers in Denmark and Germany, will investigate how pressure impacts marine microbes and their role in carbon cycling activities. Fieldwork will...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $298,228 Project Grant to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) federal grant program. This two-year grant funds research to investigate how marine diatoms use proton-pumping rhodopsins as an alternative energy source under conditions of high light and low iron that hinder photosynthesis. The research aims to provide insight on how diatoms, which are responsible for a...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $348,452 to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to conduct collaborative research on aerobic methane oxidation in the deep sea. The goal is to explore how differences in oxygen concentrations affect the ability of microbes to consume methane released from natural gas seeps on the seafloor. The project will use newly-developed instruments to measure methane consumption rates...
This $358,499 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research to understand the impact of warming on the structure and function of marine communities in the Northwest Atlantic Shelf region, including the Gulf of Maine and Mid-Atlantic Bight. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, through its Office of Sponsored Research, will characterize the composition and features of plankton and fish...
The University of South Carolina will research foraminiferal ecological response to ocean conditions in the Northwest Pacific Ocean under a $377,418 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences. The grant was awarded on April 1, 2021 for a period of performance through March 31, 2024 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in...
