This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program project grant award of $550,590 to the University of South Carolina (USC) aims to investigate nitrous oxide (N2O) cycling in the sediments of the Northern Benguela Upwelling System off the west coast of Africa. The multidisciplinary research team, including geochemists and microbial ecologists, will determine the net sediment-water column flux of N2O, the rates of N2O production and consumption by different processes, and the influence...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $467,675 Project Grant to the University of South Carolina (USC) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to study nitrous oxide cycling in the Arabian Sea. The award supports research to quantify rates of nitrous oxide production and consumption in marine oxygen-deficient zones using stable isotopes, molecular markers, and in-situ incubation experiments. The project will involve a team of U.S. and Indian...
The University of Connecticut received a $899,677 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research exploring the dynamics of nitrous oxide in the Southern Benguela upwelling system from May 1, 2023 to April 30, 2027. Under the award, the University of Connecticut will partner with the University of South Carolina to measure nitrous oxide concentrations and sea-to-air...
The University of South Carolina (USC) has been awarded a $422,847 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research on the influence of natural and human-induced activities on atmospheric nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions and oxidation chemistry. The project aims to (1) quantify the interplay of volcanic eruptions with NOx oxidation chemistry and emissions, (2) assess the influence of natural climate change, specifically the Little...
The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth received a $336,586 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on deciphering the mechanisms of marine nitrous oxide (N2O) cycling.
