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...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $561,018 project grant to the University of South Carolina under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research examining three decades of foraminiferal assemblages in the Santa Barbara Basin. Over the three-year period from July 2022 to June 2025, the University will create a thirty-year record of planktic foraminifera abundances from stored samples collected in the Santa Barbara Basin, California....
This three-year, $153,568 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research to establish the molecular biological controls of biomineralization in two model species of single-celled foraminifera. Led by Oregon State University, the project aims to sequence the genomes and transcriptomes of the foraminifera to identify shell matrix proteins responsible for shell formation. Researchers will culture...
This $711,586 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at North Carolina State University to analyze thirty years of foraminiferal assemblages from the Santa Barbara Basin. The grantee will create a record of planktic foraminifera abundances from stored samples collected in the basin and connect the results to modern oceanographic measurements and older seafloor sediments. This will improve understanding of how climate change has...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $272,065 Project Grant to the University of Alabama under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to support research on planktic foraminifera from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2024. The grant will fund a study using electron backscatter diffraction and nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry to evaluate changes in biomineral structure, organic matter distribution, and relative nitrogen content of foraminifera...
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...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will provide $452,631 over 3 years to the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS) for a collaborative research project on using hydrogen isotope analysis of amino acids as a novel tracer of microbial processes in marine particles. The research aims to improve understanding of the formation and sinking of organic particles in the ocean, which is critical...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: USING STABLE ISOTOPE LABELING TO TRACE THE FATE OF AMINO ACIDS AND FORMATION OF REFRACTORY DISSOLVED ORGANIC NITROGEN (DON) IN THE OCEAN", was funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The $283,615 award, made to Coastal Carolina University, will investigate how amino acids are transformed into different forms of dissolved organic nitrogen in the ocean. Using stable isotope labeling...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $240,179 project grant to the University of California Santa Cruz under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) on January 15, 2023. The grant will fund the development of high-resolution paleoceanographic records from the late Miocene to early Pliocene periods (8.3-4.0 million years ago) at the central Pacific sector of the Southern Ocean. Specifically, the project will generate a UK’37-based sea surface...
This federal Project Grant award of $309,557.00 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to trace the fate of amino acids and the formation of refractory dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) in the ocean. The study will use stable isotope probing with 15N-labeled amino acids and controlled incubations to investigate how different amino acids are remineralized, converted to labile DON, or transformed into refractory DON. Advanced mass...
