- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $239,679 will fund research at the University of Maine from November 2022 to October 2025 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The award will support understanding the biophysical drivers of methane source-sink transitions in northern forests. Researchers will examine how forest soil microbial communities respond to climate warming and identify conditions that could shift forests from net methane sinks to sources. Field...
- Arizona State University was awarded $479,978 under a Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology to conduct collaborative research understanding the biophysical drivers of the methane source-sink transition in northern forests. The research will be conducted at the Howland Research Forest in Maine, where researchers have been measuring methane fluctuations since 2012 and have found the forest usually serves as a methane sink but occasionally becomes a...
- This $307,496 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology, under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research at the Smithsonian Institution from January 2023 through December 2025. The research aims to better understand the role of trees in the global water and methane cycles. It will examine how water and environmental factors influence methane emissions from forest soils and trees, using radon as a novel tracer....

The researchers will determine the mechanisms...
- This National Science Foundation project grant of $289,629 will fund research on the hydrologic connection between permafrost plateaus and thaw bogs and its impact on methane emissions in Alaska. The award was made on February 15, 2022 under the NSF's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to investigate how water and nutrient flows from higher elevation permafrost plateaus into adjacent lower elevation wetlands may influence the amount of methane emitted from the wetlands. Specifically, the University of...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to the Woodwell Climate Research Center Inc. under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078). The award will fund research from September 2022 through August 2025 to study the mobilization, microbial transformation, and uptake of carbon and mercury from thawing permafrost soils into aquatic food webs in Arctic Alaska. Specifically, the grantee will conduct field studies using metagenomics and...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $285,400.00 to the University of Massachusetts to conduct collaborative research on the contribution of wetlands and floodplains to greenhouse gas emissions from streams and rivers. The goal is to determine the types of wetlands and floodplains that add the most CO2 to adjacent waterways, and under what conditions. The project includes a combination of modeling and field...
- 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.
