Carnegie Institution of Washington, doing business as Carnegie Institution for Science, was awarded a $183,579 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund experimental research into controls on clumped isotope signatures of methane in deep-sea hydrothermal vents from May 15, 2023 through April 30, 2026. Specifically, the grantee will conduct laboratory experiments to explore the isotopic composition of methane gas and carbon dioxide from hydrothermal systems. These experiments aim to provide insights into cycling of carbon between Earth's interior and oceans. The grantee will also examine rare methane isotopologues to assess abiotic and thermogenic formation mechanisms of methane in deep-sea vents. Results of this research are intended to further fundamental scientific understanding of subsurface hydrothermal processes and water-rock interactions in the oceanic crust.
