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...
This $491,093 National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences Project Grant supports research evaluating the contribution of small eukaryotes to nitrate-based new production in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. The grantees, led by Principal Investigator Granger at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, will investigate how phytoplankton access subsurface nitrogen at Station ALOHA in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. The researchers will sort phytoplankton by size and...
The University of Hawaii at Manoa was awarded a $912,167 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to characterize key components of biological carbon cycling in the Pacific Ocean through March 2026. Under the award, the university will use profiling floats equipped with oxygen and particulate carbon sensors to measure production and respiration rates across the Pacific Ocean on a daily basis and over all seasons. Ship-based measurements will also...
This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences provides $507,547 to the University of Hawaii at Manoa to conduct research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: ISOTOPIC INDICATORS FOR MECHANISMS OF ORGANIC MATTER DEGRADATION UNDER HIGH PRODUCTIVITY AND HIGH CARBON FLUX CONDITIONS (EXPORTS)." The research aims to develop isotopic indicators to study organic matter degradation under conditions of high biological productivity and carbon flux in...
The University of Hawaii at Manoa will receive $748,827 under a three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences' Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to illuminate the physiology, cellular characteristics, and ecogenomics of the first cultivated strain of the SAR86 lineage. This research aims to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research in ocean sciences, as outlined under the NSF program. The University of Hawaii...
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 $291,764 project grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), aims to study the physiology and population dynamics of a novel Synechococcus bacterial strain found in the Northeast Subarctic Pacific (NESAP) that has lost the ability to utilize nitrate, a key nutrient for phytoplankton growth. The project will culture these new Synechococcus strains, determine their seasonal and spatial distribution, and compare their metabolic state to other...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $438,331 project grant to the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research from April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2026. The research aims to characterize amino acid nitrogen isotopes in phytoplankton and advance understanding of isotopic patterns produced under varying physiological conditions. Investigators and students will explore how different...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $734,947 in funding to the University of Rhode Island to conduct collaborative research on the life cycle of phytoplankton blooms in coastal ecosystems. The research team will analyze a unique set of samples and data collected in 2021-2022 to better understand the metabolic, functional, and taxonomic interactions between phytoplankton and associated bacteria that influence the timing and...
The University of Hawaii (UH) received a $1,575,675 Cooperative Agreement award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct oceanographic and geological research cruises in the southeastern region of Hawaii's Exclusive Economic Zone. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: Collecting ship-based multibeam echosounder and backscatter data to map unexplored regions of the seafloor and...
