The University Enterprises Corporation At Csusb Sponsored Programs Administration Division received a $140,466 National Science Foundation project grant under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to study controls on clumped isotope signatures of methane in deep-sea vents. Through a series of hydrothermal experiments involving organic matter decomposition, CO2 reduction, and non-equilibrated methane gases in the presence of mineral catalysts, the distribution of rare methane isotopologues will be assessed. Experiments will explore equilibrium relationships and isotope effects associated with abiotic and thermogenic formation mechanisms. Graduate students from California State University, San Bernardino will collaborate with researchers at the University of Maryland and Carnegie Institution of Washington to gain experience in state-of-the-art isotope geochemistry techniques. The award reflects the NSF's mission to support basic research expanding fundamental knowledge and understanding of integrated Earth systems through the geosciences program.
