Using a combination of ocean models, autonomous observations, and satellite data, the project will characterize...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $448,935 Project Grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution for research investigating the source and flux of dissolved organic carbon released from methane seeps to the deep ocean. The three-year award, made under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support collaborative research from April 1, 2021 to March 31, 2024. The Geosciences program seeks to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in...
- This $1,038,171 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research into methane efflux from river-influenced coastal marine sediments in the Gulf of Mexico. The Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium will measure methane fluxes from coastal sediments into Gulf waters using an in situ lander to collect benthic flux measurements of oxygen and methane. Sediment microprofiles of oxygen and sulfide will also be analyzed. Naturally occurring...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $291,078 Project Grant under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program to the University of Southern California (USC) for the "Collaborative Research: Controls on Aerobic Methane Oxidation in the Deep Sea" project. The research aims to explore how differences in deep-sea oxygen concentrations affect microbial methane consumption rates and community dynamics. Using newly-developed benthic landers equipped with advanced laser methane and oxygen...
- The University of California, Santa Barbara will research what controls the marine refractory dissolved organic carbon reservoir through a $389,988 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences' Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). This three-year award beginning July 15, 2021 will fund collaborative research to strengthen understanding of the integrated earth system through basic research of the ocean sciences. Specifically, the university will investigate the...
- 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 three-year, $564,168 National Science Foundation project grant supports research exploring the impacts of altered seawater chemistry on calcification and behavior in coastal invertebrates. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will allow the University of California, Davis to investigate the responses of mussels and snails to decoupled components of the seawater carbonate system. The research aims to disentangle the drivers influencing calcification and behavioral...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $802,309 project grant to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York, doing business as Stony Brook University, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). This grant will fund a 3-year research project to advance the understanding and quantitative modeling of how complex patterns of oxidation-reduction and acid-base reactions within the bioturbated zone of ocean sediments impact biogeochemical...
- This $982,958 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences (CFDA 47.050 Geosciences) supports a research project at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to investigate the role of single-carbon (C1) metabolism, focusing on methane and methanol, in estuarine carbon cycling within the Neuse River Estuary and Pamlico Sound. The overarching goal is to quantify the stocks and oxidation rates of C1 compounds, identify the microbial communities...
This two-year, $286,876 National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences project grant funds research into bi mediated corrosion of methane-derived authigenic carbonates in deep ocean environments and its implications for carbon fluxes from methane seeps. The University of California, Los Angeles will investigate the amount of carbon released into seawater through biological processes that dissolve the carbonate rock structures formed at oceanic methane seeps. The research will quantify carbon flux associated with different microbial corrosion processes through carbonate incubation experiments, scanning electron microscopy, and geochemical modeling. It aims to produce erosion mass balances and corrosion pattern identification guides for a seep site off the California borderlands and an Aleutian margin seep. Insights will further the Geosciences program's goal of expanding understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in ocean sciences.
