The National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program awarded a $376,476 Project Grant to Western Washington University to study the cycling of dissolved organic matter in blue carbon ecosystems. The 3-year project will measure the composition, transformations, and export of dissolved organic matter from salt marshes in Padilla Bay, Washington into the surrounding estuary. Key activities include studying how salt marshes, mudflats, and eelgrass beds produce, alter, and store dissolved...
This $300,785 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a research project to characterize the chemical composition and bioavailability of dissolved organic matter released by marine nitrifying microorganisms. The project aims to determine how this material contributes to carbon cycling in the deep ocean, which may help improve biogeochemical models and inform potential marine carbon dioxide removal activities. The research will...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding for a 3-year postdoctoral research fellowship to study the dynamics of the marsh-forest ecotone in the Chesapeake Bay region. The key objectives are to: Employ remote sensing techniques to track the migration rates of the leading and lagging edges of the marsh-forest ecotone. Use vegetation monitoring to explore how plant communities respond to varying migration...
Florida International University was awarded a $192,011 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology on May 1, 2021 for research to be completed by April 30, 2024. The grant is part of NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the Nation's scientific enterprise through increasing scientific knowledge and enhancing understanding of major problems confronting the Nation. Under...
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 $521,796 National Science Foundation project grant through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research at San Diego State University Foundation from April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2026. The research will investigate how changing ocean conditions like ocean acidification and nutrient pollution affect the growth and survival of eelgrass, a foundational species that provides valuable ecosystem services. Researchers will examine how these stressors interact with local...
This $372,154 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research on the bioavailability of organic matter released from retreating glaciers. The research, conducted by Florida State University, aims to investigate the sources and cycling of this glacial organic matter and its implications for downstream aquatic ecosystems and global carbon cycling. Key activities include using advanced analytical techniques such as...
The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $600,000 project grant to the Smithsonian Institution Office of Sponsored Projects to support research titled "LTREB: THIRTY-FOUR YEARS OF TIDAL MARSH RESPONSE TO ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE." The award period is from March 15, 2021 through February 28, 2026. Under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the grantee will analyze 34 years of tidal marsh data to strengthen understanding of how coastal wetlands...
Northeastern University was awarded an $895,883 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund a research project at the Plum Island Long Term Ecological Research site to study the influence of biophysical coupling and cross-scale interactions on salt marsh ecosystems in New England. The project aims to determine how the geographical distribution of organisms responsible for critical...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program provides $299,642 to Morgan State University, a historically Black university in Baltimore, Maryland. The award supports faculty and undergraduate research to compare the effects of tidal marshes and oyster aquaculture on coastal carbon cycling in the Chesapeake Bay over a 3-year period from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026. Specifically, the project aims to measure particulate organic carbon,...
