This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $517,526 to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to quantify uncertainties in air-sea CO2 flux variability and the background ocean carbon sink, and determine data requirements to reduce these uncertainties. Key objectives include: 1) Quantifying regional-scale uncertainties in the background ocean carbon sink using a...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides $221,015 to the University of New Hampshire from February 2022 to January 2024 to investigate changes in Arctic Ocean phytoplankton and track the vertical export of organic carbon they produce. Working with optical oceanography experts at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the University will analyze data from 2010-2021 field campaigns measuring inherent and apparent optical...
This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs, totaling $107,969, will fund research at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography to quantify the impacts of mesoscale eddy processes on ocean carbon content and air-sea carbon dioxide fluxes in the Southern Ocean. The researchers will use the 1/6-degree resolution Southern Ocean State Estimate bioogeochemical model to explore relationships between eddies, ocean carbon content, and air-sea CO2 fluxes....
This $908,131 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), supports research to better understand how changing phytoplankton elemental use efficiencies may impact global ocean biogeochemistry as temperatures rise. A team of U.S. and U.K. researchers, led by the University of Southern California, will conduct laboratory experiments and field work to quantify the effects of temperature on nutrient elemental use...
The University of Hawaii at Manoa was awarded a $912,167 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to characterize key components of biological carbon cycling in the Pacific Ocean through March 2026. Under the award, the university will use profiling floats equipped with oxygen and particulate carbon sensors to measure production and respiration rates across the Pacific Ocean on a daily basis and over all seasons. Ship-based measurements will also...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $113,988 to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) aims to improve understanding of the biological carbon pump in ocean oxygen minimum zones. The researchers will conduct field observations in the Eastern Tropical North Pacific to measure characteristics of sinking particulate organic carbon, including particle abundance, size, sinking rates, and remineralization. These data will be...
This $212,172 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs aims to improve understanding of how different phytoplankton species affect carbon fluxes in the Southern Ocean. The researchers from the University of Washington will map phytoplankton community composition and characterize the physical environment to estimate how much carbon enters the ocean, is exported to the deep ocean, and the total amount of phytoplankton. By synthesizing modeled...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $126,324 to Texas A&M University, with a project period from July 2024 to June 2027, will support research to determine the role of dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) in sustaining biological productivity in the nutrient-poor subtropical North Pacific Ocean. The key activities under this award include: conducting a one-month research expedition in the North Pacific to study DON production,...
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...
