Project Grant 2247049
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $335,489 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Florida State University (FSU) for a collaborative research project titled "Depth-Dependent Decarbonation in a Continental Arc, Sierra Nevada, California." The project aims to study how the interaction between hot magma and Earth's crust can drive the release of carbon through a process called decarbonation, which is important for understanding Earth's long-term...
- Florida State University was awarded a three-year, $142,382 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will support collaborative research investigating the source and flux of dissolved organic carbon released from methane seeps to the deep ocean. As part of the Geosciences program's mission to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research, this project will enhance understanding of carbon cycling...
- Florida State University was awarded a $287,343 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences. The grant is part of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Under the award, Florida State University will conduct research from December 2021 through November 2024 to analyze the anomalous properties of the asthenosphere beneath the Marion...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $360,269 will fund research into the chromatographic separation and degradation of dissolved and particulate organic matter in permeable shelf sediments. The award was made on June 1, 2022 to Florida State University's Sponsored Research Administration under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) and is scheduled to be completed by May 31, 2025. The research will study how sandy sediments influence the carbon cycle through their ability to...
- The University of Florida was awarded a $128,542 three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will support collaborative research to explore the dynamic interaction between pyrogenic carbon and extracellular enzymes and its impacts on organic matter cycling in fire-impacted environments. The research is expected to strengthen fundamental scientific understanding of the integrated...
- This $552,775 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to investigate benthic iron fluxes in the Labrador Sea, an important region of deep-water formation. The project aims to identify and quantify iron sources from ocean sediments to the overlying surface waters, which can influence the biological carbon pump in this high-latitude region. The research team from Florida State University will collect sediment and pore water...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $104,601 Project Grant under its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (SUNY) at the Geneseo campus. The grant, effective November 1, 2024 through October 31, 2027, supports collaborative research to develop an integrated understanding of the Late Devonian Earth system, with a focus on ocean-climate-biosphere interactions during this critical period in Earth's history. Key objectives include: 1)...
- Colorado State University was awarded a $199,724 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2024. The grant will support collaborative research examining new roles for reactive oxygen species in mediating carbon fluxes at the terrestrial-aquatic interface. Specifically, the funding will enable investigation of how reactive oxygen species produced during microbial decomposition in soils and...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded Florida Atlantic University a $218,992 Project Grant under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2024. The grant will fund collaborative research examining how deep critical zone structure impacts the hydrology and coupled carbon cycling of northern peatlands. As part of the Geosciences program's goal of expanding fundamental Earth systems knowledge through basic...
- This $150,388 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to reconstruct the missing geological record of late Proterozoic tectonism along the western margin of Laurentia using deep-time thermochronology. Three early-career researchers and twelve students from multiple universities will investigate ancient supercontinent breakup using geochemical signatures from rock heating and cooling during deposition and erosion....
Florida State University Sponsored Research Administration Division was awarded $336,344 under a Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research testing for an enhanced metamorphic carbon flux on the Proterozoic Earth in central Ontario, Canada from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026. The grantee will use field work, numerical modeling, and geochemical techniques to understand how tectonic processes released carbon during mountain building over one billion years ago, prior to the evolution of complex life. The research aims to provide constraints on the interplay between geological, climatic, and biological processes. It will also explore controls on metamorphic decarbonation and generate estimates of the rate, timing, and magnitude of carbon dioxide release to test the hypothesis that such fluxes were enhanced in early Earth conditions. The work supports at least one PhD student and involves multiple undergraduates and an outreach program on plate tectonics.
