This three-year, $654,518 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support the University of Maine in developing an open, platform-agnostic sediment trap controller and imaging sensor to measure sinking organic carbon fluxes in the ocean's mesopelagic zone (500-1,000 meters). Specifically, the University will create a controller to simplify the construction and deployment of neutrally buoyant sediment traps...
This $187,119 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), will support the development of an open, platform-agnostic sediment trap controller and imaging sensor by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025. Specifically, MBARI will develop and test a sediment trap controller to simplify the construction and deployment of neutrally buoyant sediment...
The University of Rhode Island will receive $894,792 under a three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences. The grant will fund the collaborative research project "An Autonomous Profiling Vehicle for Concurrent Acoustic, Visual and Environmental Measurements in the Mesopelagic Ocean" from September 2021 through August 2024. This award is part of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in the atmospheric,...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $298,461 to the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography for the development of an autonomous underwater vehicle to measure marine snow transport. The goal of the project, running from April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2025, is to design, fabricate, and test an inexpensive (~$10K) self-ballasting underwater vehicle equipped with...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology, under CFDA Program 47.074 Biological Sciences, is providing $103,398 to Florida International University (FIU) to develop a novel seafloor sensor/sampler system and associated machine learning control systems. The goal is to better understand how tidal pumping and subsurface currents influence seafloor oxygenation and sedimentary carbon cycling. The project will provide mentoring and field...

The funding will support the development of a new seafloor sensor/sampler array and advanced control systems to better understand how tidal pumping and subsurface currents influence seafloor oxygenation and sedimentary...
This Project Grant of $533,586 was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), a private non-profit research organization, on April 1, 2024. The grant is part of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports fundamental research to expand knowledge and understanding of the Earth system. The research funded under this award aims to quantify the transport and fate of carbon exported into the...
This $354,605 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project conducted by Northeastern University to synthesize the role of shallow benthic fluxes in the coastal carbon cycle along the East Coast of the United States. The project aims to bring together various data sources, from observations to modeling results, to evaluate patterns of variation in sediment-water column interactions and their impact on...
This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program, totaling $739,133, supports collaborative research on sources and transformations of export production from coral and plankton bioarchives. The University of Rhode Island will receive funding through February 2024 to conduct a novel 50-year record of pelagic-benthic coupling by analyzing coral and plankton samples. The Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system...
The University of Rhode Island was awarded a $364,591 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences to conduct research titled "Collaborative Research: Metabolic Habitat Barriers Imposed on Tropical Diel Vertical Migrants." The two-year grant running from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024 will fund research examining the metabolic constraints tropical organisms face when migrating daily between ocean depths. This work falls under the NSF's Geosciences...
