Project Grant 2242115
- This $499,225 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research project between Old Dominion University Research Foundation and the United States Department of Geological Survey to decipher drivers and variability in salt marsh lateral carbon export. Over three years, the researchers will investigate how elevation within the tidal frame influences dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, and dissolved organic carbon export...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $351,926 to Yale University to conduct research on the connections between tidal flooding, saltwater intrusion, and alkalinity exports in tidal marsh wetlands. The project will develop a mathematical model combining estuarine physics, hydrological drivers, and biogeochemistry to estimate how much alkalinity is delivered from marshes to the ocean. This research aims to improve...

The three-year award, made under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support collaborative research from April 1, 2021 to March 31, 2024. The Geosciences program seeks to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded $350,698 under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program to The Marine Biological Laboratory of Woods Hole, Falmouth, Massachusetts. This three-year Project Grant will support collaborative research quantifying the effects of different nitrogen forms on salt marsh resilience to environmental change. Specifically, the research team will conduct paired nutrient enrichment experiments across two coastal...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $634,711 Project Grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution for collaborative research characterizing and quantifying carbon sequestration processes across the Andean convergent margin. The award period runs from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $795,643 Project Grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The award will fund a research project from March 2023 through February 2026 to examine recent changes in sea level and circulation around the Grand Banks region. The project aims to investigate forcing mechanisms behind observed sea level anomalies, examine connectivity of sea level change between continental shelves and open...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project to assess the role of seagrass biogeochemistry and sedimentary alkalinity production in coastal carbon cycling and marine carbon dioxide removal strategies. The $250,751 grant awarded to the Georgia Southern University Research & Service Foundation Inc. will fund research to quantify sediment total alkalinity fluxes and investigate the biogeochemical...
- This three-year, $177,799 National Science Foundation Project Grant through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to advance understanding of glacial-age western North Atlantic hydrography. The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will synthesize existing sediment property data from 30% more deep-sea sediment cores collected between 1994 and 2021. Isotopic and radiocarbon analyses of microfossils from cores spanning the upper 2 km of the region will provide new insights into...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $116,727 Project Grant under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) for the project "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: EAGER: ENERGY FOR PERSISTENT SENSING OF CARBON DIOXIDE UNDER NEAR SHORE WAVES". This project aims to utilize an unexplored energy source based on the nonlinear interaction of nearshore surface waves with the seafloor to enable long-term, uninterrupted CO2 flux measurements across...
This three-year, $489,998 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences aims to advance understanding of lateral carbon export from salt marshes. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will investigate drivers of dissolved inorganic carbon, dissolved organic carbon, and total alkalinity fluxes across six New England marsh sites. Researchers will quantify lateral carbon and alkalinity flux through tidal creeks using in-situ sensors and sediment dating techniques. Findings will inform the first predictive model of carbon exports from tidal wetlands under future sea level rise. The project also supports graduate and undergraduate student research opportunities with the goal of increasing awareness of related coastal carbon cycle science.
