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...
This is a Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities, funded under the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The $308,540 award, effective January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2025, will support the University of Washington in using machine learning to investigate the temporal dynamics of methane seep fauna at the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) Regional Cabled Array off the coast of Oregon. The project aims to develop multi-taxon...
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...
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,...
The University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. was awarded a $199,278 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to measure methane efflux from river influenced coastal marine sediments. Over a three year period ending in September 2025, the awardee will conduct fieldwork during two cruises off the southeastern coast of Louisiana to directly measure benthic fluxes of oxygen and methane using in situ...
This $155,698 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities (IA) program, CFDA #47.083, supports a collaborative research project led by Mississippi State University (MSU) to study methane seepage along the U.S. Atlantic margin. The project aims to investigate the biogeochemical and geological controls on recently discovered methane seeps in the northern U.S. Atlantic margin, in order to improve understanding of methane's role in climate. Key...
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...
This three-year, $294,092 National Science Foundation project grant will fund research at the University of Rochester to improve understanding of open ocean methane sources and sinks. The research aims to determine dominant biological sources of methane in surface waters through modeling of methane concentration data. The model will quantify methane supply from seafloors in low-oxygen zones and whether this methane is consumed before escaping to the atmosphere. The optimized global model will...
This $348,452 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The purpose of the grant is to conduct collaborative research on the controls of aerobic methane oxidation in deep-sea gas seeps. The project aims to use custom instrumentation to measure methane consumption rates and monitor microbial communities in response to varying oxygen concentrations and environmental conditions at offshore...
