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 University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. (UGA Research Foundation) was awarded a $298,161 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to study methane seepage along the U.S. Atlantic margin. The project aims to investigate the biogeochemical and geological processes governing recently discovered methane seeps in 200-1000 meter depths off the northern Atlantic coast. The research will integrate geochemical, microbiological,...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) provides $200,249 to the University of Georgia Research Foundation (UGA Research Foundation) from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026. 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...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $296,671 Project Grant to the University of Virginia to develop a novel approach for measuring greenhouse gas emissions from coastal marine ecosystems. The two-year award, made under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support the Principal Investigator's research combining upside-down aquatic eddy covariance measurements of oxygen fluxes at the air-water interface with new sensor technologies to extract greenhouse...
This three-year, $878,812 National Science Foundation project grant supports collaborative research on the temporal variability of vertical upwelling at a natural hydrocarbon seep and its connection to the ocean surface. Funded through the Geosciences program, which aims to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences, this award will allow the University of Georgia Research Foundation to investigate the source...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will provide $143,250 to the University of Southern California (USC) from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2028 to conduct collaborative research on aerobic methane oxidation in deep-sea gas seeps. The project aims to explore how differences in oxygen concentrations affect the ability of microbes to consume methane, a potent greenhouse gas, in locations offshore Louisiana and the Cascadia Margin offshore...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $348,452 Project Grant under its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The award, which runs from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2028, will support collaborative research to study the controls on aerobic methane oxidation in the deep sea. The researchers will use custom instruments to measure methane consumption rates and monitor microbial communities at natural gas seep sites offshore Louisiana and...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $410,518 three-year Project Grant to The University of Puget Sound under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research on aerobic methane production in ocean environments. The university will collaborate with scientists in the U.S. and Israel to study the microbial processes that produce methane through the degradation of organic compounds in the surface waters of the North Pacific and North Atlantic oceans. Researchers will measure methane...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $186,006 Project Grant under the Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program to the University of Louisiana at Lafayette to study methane seepage along the U.S. Atlantic margin. The 3-year project, starting September 1, 2024, will integrate geochemical, microbiological, geophysical, and geological data to investigate the origin, subsurface migration, and methane oxidation processes of these recently discovered seeps. The multidisciplinary research...
Florida State University was awarded a three-year, $142,382 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will support collaborative research investigating the source and flux of dissolved organic carbon released from methane seeps to the deep ocean. As part of the Geosciences program's mission to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research, this project will enhance understanding of carbon cycling...
