This $300,785 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a research project to characterize the chemical composition and bioavailability of dissolved organic matter released by marine nitrifying microorganisms. The project aims to determine how this material contributes to carbon cycling in the deep ocean, which may help improve biogeochemical models and inform potential marine carbon dioxide removal activities. The research will...
This $263,129.00 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities establishes a long-term observational program to study phytoplankton populations, water characteristics, and nutrient concentrations in the coastal waters around Kotzebue, Alaska. The grant, funded under NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support year-round monitoring at multiple sites, including through the winter ice. The data collected will provide critical insights into...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) totaling $335,949 will fund research on zooplankton populations in the Gulf of Alaska from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2025. The University of Alaska Fairbanks, as awardee, will characterize zooplankton species diversity, abundances, developmental stages, and physiology during winter and early spring using traditional and molecular methods. Key products include data on high abundances of copepod...
The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), awarded a $1,159,178 Project Grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to establish a year-round long-term observational program studying phytoplankton populations, hydrography, and nutrient concentrations in the waters around Kotzebue, Alaska. This community-based research effort will measure water column characteristics and phytoplankton at six sites during the ice-free season and...
This $334,856 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award to Kent State University supports research to study iron cycling in sediments in the Gulf of Alaska. The research aims to better understand the source of iron from sediments to the ocean water column in this high nutrient, low chlorophyll region, where iron limits primary productivity. The project will use a paired porewater and sediment geochemical approach to investigate the quantity, speciation, and remobilization processes...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $137,593 to the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES) will fund a collaborative research project to study the transfer of particulate organic carbon to the deep ocean in oxygen minimum zones. The project aims to improve understanding of the biological carbon pump by measuring particle abundance, size, sinking rates, and remineralization in the Eastern Tropical North Pacific...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $260,366 Project Grant to the University of Washington's Office of Sponsored Programs to support collaborative research under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The research aims to conduct shipboard measurements of dissolved aluminum, iron, and manganese to trace inputs to the South Pacific Gyre and Southern Ocean from September 2021 through August 2024. The Geosciences program seeks to expand fundamental knowledge of...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides $221,015 to the University of New Hampshire from February 2022 to January 2024 to investigate changes in Arctic Ocean phytoplankton and track the vertical export of organic carbon they produce. Working with optical oceanography experts at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the University will analyze data from 2010-2021 field campaigns measuring inherent and apparent optical...
This $442,689 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences 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. The grantees, led by the University of Connecticut Office of Sponsored Programs, will investigate how phytoplankton access subsurface nitrogen at Station ALOHA in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. Researchers will sort phytoplankton...
