The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $438,331 project grant to the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research from April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2026. The research aims to characterize amino acid nitrogen isotopes in phytoplankton and advance understanding of isotopic patterns produced under varying physiological conditions. Investigators and students will explore how different...
This three-year, $445,124 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research on the phylogenetic and physiological characterization of amino acid nitrogen isotopes in phytoplankton. The research will examine whether different phytoplankton species produce distinct amino acid nitrogen isotope patterns when using the same nitrogen source. It will also study whether these patterns change under different growth and environmental...
The University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science received a three-year, $1,097,772 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will support research examining estuary plumes as drivers of inner continental shelf benthic community structure and function from March 2021 through February 2024. The Geosciences program seeks to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of Earth's integrated system...
This $355,668 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) was made to the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES) to acquire ultra-sensitive instrumentation for stable isotope analysis. The new equipment will enable advanced environmental research and training in areas such as paleoecology, wildlife biology, microbial ecology, and biogeochemistry across the Central Appalachian region. The award will support...
The University of Maryland, College Park received a $403,517 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences on January 1, 2022 to support research investigating mantle source reservoirs and Cretaceous plate motions recorded by ancient mid-Pacific oceanic rises and seamount tracks. The research will be conducted under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) through December 31, 2024. This program supports basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean...
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...
This $569,967 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and University of Miami to develop a novel technique using hydrogen isotope analysis of amino acids as a tracer for microbial processes in marine organic particles. The research aims to better understand the formation, sinking, and decomposition of organic matter in the deep ocean, which is...
This $916,578 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports fundamental research to expand understanding of iron adaptation in marine phytoplankton across global oceans. The key objectives are to: Characterize iron storage capacities and limitation thresholds for 20 Synechococcus phytoplankton strains from 11 ecotypes across a range of ocean iron niches. Analyze gene regulation responses to varying iron availability for the 20...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $283,615 to Coastal Carolina University for a collaborative research project to study the fate of amino acids and the formation of refractory dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) in the ocean. The project uses stable isotope labeling techniques to trace how amino acids are transformed into different nitrogen compounds, including those that can persist in the ocean for thousands of years....
