- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology provides $532,164 to the Woodwell Climate Research Center Inc. to conduct research understanding the biophysical drivers of the methane source-sink transition in northern forests from November 1, 2022 to October 31, 2025. The research will examine how forest soil microbial communities respond to climate warming and identify conditions that could cause northern forests to switch from being a methane sink...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $239,679 will fund research at the University of Maine from November 2022 to October 2025 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The award will support understanding the biophysical drivers of methane source-sink transitions in northern forests. Researchers will examine how forest soil microbial communities respond to climate warming and identify conditions that could shift forests from net methane sinks to sources. Field...
- 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...
