This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $283,615 to Coastal Carolina University to conduct collaborative research on tracing the fate of amino acids and the formation of refractory dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) in the ocean. The study will use stable isotope labeling techniques to investigate how amino acids are converted to different forms, including refractory DON that can persist in the ocean for thousands of years. The...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will investigate the photochemical breakdown of marine dissolved organic matter (DOM) and its impact on the global carbon cycle. The $683,778 award, valid from July 2023 to June 2026, will focus on studying the production rates and quantum yields of one and two-carbon photoproducts, such as carbon monoxide, dissolved inorganic carbon, formaldehyde, and...
This $198,707 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to collect, test, and intercalibrate new trace metal consensus seawater samples. The primary objectives are to improve the quality and accuracy of seawater trace metal concentration data over the next decade through optimized methodologies and well-studied consensus samples that can be used to assess measurement accuracy. The award supports three research cruises to collect...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program Project Grant award of $206,999 to the University of Miami Rosenstiel Marine Division, a research division of the University of Miami, will support a collaborative research project titled "NSFGEO-NERC: COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: ROLE OF THE OVERTURNING CIRCULATION IN CARBON ACCUMULATION (ROCCA)." The project aims to quantify carbon uptake and transport in the North Atlantic Ocean and investigate the relationship between the...
The University of Miami (UM) has been awarded a $1,459,657 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences CFDA program. The 3-year grant will fund research to determine the metabolic carbon incorporation rate in fish carbonates and its implications for the global carbon cycle. Key objectives include refining production rate estimates and conducting detailed compositional analyses of carbonate minerals produced by marine fish species. The...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $419,968 to Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi to conduct collaborative research on dissolved organic sulfur (DOS) biogeochemistry in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. The 3-year project aims to: 1) quantify the DOS inventory across the Pacific Ocean, 2) identify abiotic and biotic processes governing DOS production and removal, and 3) investigate the reactivity of DOS and its...
This Project Grant award, totaling $226,865.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Delaware. The purpose of the award is to collect high-resolution carbon isotope data on GO-SHIP cruises in the Indian and Pacific Oceans in order to better constrain ocean carbon uptake and storage. Specifically, the project will measure the ratio of carbon-13 to carbon-12 in dissolved inorganic carbon in seawater using a new, less expensive...
