- This National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $235,585 to the University of South Carolina from August 2023 through July 2026 to study the ecological and biogeochemical role of Rhizaria in oligotrophic oceans. The project will deliver improved estimates of total Rhizaria biomass across ocean depths from 0-1200 meters through monthly sampling and in situ imaging using an Underwater Vision Profiler. Novel measurements of Rhizaria vertical distribution,...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $367,277 to the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science to study the ecological and biogeochemical role of Rhizaria in the oligotrophic ocean from August 2023 through July 2026. Key products include greatly improved estimates of total Rhizaria biomass in low-nutrient ocean gyres, novel measurements of Rhizaria vertical...
- 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...
- 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 $720,779 project grant to the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences, Inc. (BIOS) to support collaborative research from September 2021 through August 2024. The research aims to investigate eddy impacts on coastal carbon chemistry and coral calcification in situ and through historical analysis. This work will advance understanding of the integrated Earth system, as outlined in the objectives of the Geosciences program (CFDA...
- This $297,369 National Science Foundation award under the 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. Over a three-year period ending November 2025, the University of Hawaii at Manoa will conduct laboratory and ship-based research to better understand how phytoplankton access subsurface nitrogen in surface waters during summer months. Researchers will sort phytoplankton...
- The University of California, Santa Cruz received a $721,442 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to investigate whether the diatom species Rhizosolenia obtain nitrogen, a key nutrient, from symbiotic nitrogen-fixing microbes. This research aims to better understand the role of fragile Rhizosolenia mats in marine ecosystems and their contribution to ocean productivity, as traditional sampling methods often miss these microbial communities. The...
- This Project Grant award of $100,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research led by the University of Puerto Rico's Research and Development Center to investigate symbiotic relationships between ciliates, bacteria, and archaea in marine oxygen-depleted environments. The study aims to identify the role of these microbial consortia in increasingly prevalent ocean "dead zones" and shed light on their metabolic adaptations and...
- 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 $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...
