- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $373,910 to San Jose State University Research Foundation to investigate whether Rhizosolenia diatom mats in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre obtain nitrogen from symbiotic nitrogen-fixing microbes. The research aims to better understand the role of these fragile, understudied diatom mats in oceanic productivity and carbon cycling. The award began on January 1, 2025 and is scheduled for...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $561,018 project grant to the University of South Carolina under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research examining three decades of foraminiferal assemblages in the Santa Barbara Basin. Over the three-year period from July 2022 to June 2025, the University will create a thirty-year record of planktic foraminifera abundances from stored samples collected in the Santa Barbara Basin, California....
- The National Science Foundation awarded the University of South Carolina a $844,365 Project Grant under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) from July 2023 through June 2026. The grant funds collaborative research to quantify the contribution of benthic microalgae to total ecosystem primary production and net primary productivity in the North Inlet Estuary, South Carolina.
