The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $574,550 Project Grant to the University of Delaware under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) for the period March 1, 2022 through February 28, 2025. The award will support research examining the Lagrangian transport and patchiness of buoyant material in estuarine systems through an integrated program employing conceptual models, observations, and simulations. Key objectives include assessing and advancing...
This three-year $292,300 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to advance understanding of estuarine transport processes through a Lagrangian framework. Principal investigators from Rutgers, The State University will examine transport of buoyant material in estuaries, specifically the Delaware Estuary, including its aggregation within estuaries and the effects of resulting patchiness on transport. Researchers will address...
This $274,917 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to enhance understanding of the dynamics and response of low-inflow estuaries to increasing aridification and extreme weather events. The primary goals are to develop numerical simulations of low-inflow estuaries using the ROMS hydrodynamical model, evaluate the circulation response to climate-driven changes in surface thermodynamic forcing and freshwater pulses, and...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $296,671 Project Grant to the University of Virginia to develop a novel approach for measuring greenhouse gas emissions from coastal marine ecosystems. The two-year award, made under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support the Principal Investigator's research combining upside-down aquatic eddy covariance measurements of oxygen fluxes at the air-water interface with new sensor technologies to extract greenhouse...
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...

The three-year award runs from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2024 under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). This program aims to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanded fundamental knowledge and understanding of Earth's...
The University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science received a three-year, $1,097,772 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will support research examining estuary plumes as drivers of inner continental shelf benthic community structure and function from March 2021 through February 2024. The Geosciences program seeks to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of Earth's integrated system...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $523,014 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Massachusetts (UMass) to develop computational models of global carbon dioxide (CO2) fluxes from inland waters. The research aims to provide robust, physically-constrained estimates of CO2 emissions from rivers, streams, lakes, and reservoirs by coupling hydrologic and hydraulic routing systems with a stream network CO2 model. The project will validate the...
