This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will synthesize data on the role of shallow benthic fluxes in the coastal carbon cycle along the East Coast of the United States. The $354,605 award to Northeastern University will support a literature review, data analysis, and ocean modeling to assess short-term and long-term changes in how seafloor sediments influence water column biogeochemistry in this region. The project aims to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project to assess the role of seagrass biogeochemistry and sedimentary alkalinity production in coastal carbon cycling and marine carbon dioxide removal strategies. The $250,751 grant awarded to the Georgia Southern University Research & Service Foundation Inc. will fund research to quantify sediment total alkalinity fluxes and investigate the biogeochemical...
This $200,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to investigate the impact of changes in seawater carbonate chemistry, such as ocean acidification, on shell formation in tropical marine bivalves. The research will be conducted at the State University of New York, College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY ESF) and the University of Hawai'i, Hilo. The project aims to identify the specific carbonate...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $213,648 project grant to Texas A&M University under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) federal grant program. The grant supports a collaborative research project to study how changes in freshwater runoff affect the production and consumption of alkalinity, or acid-neutralizing capacity, in sediments of estuaries along the northwestern Gulf of Mexico. The project will examine three estuaries with varying freshwater inputs,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $158,324 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Hawaii (UH) to characterize the effects of ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) on coral reef ecosystems and atmospheric carbon dioxide. The research project aims to: 1) quantify the dissolution rate of olivine minerals used in OAE and their impact on reef communities and carbon dioxide levels; 2) develop biogeochemical models to predict...
This three-year, $411,435 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research investigating how changing ocean conditions like ocean acidification and nutrient pollution affect eelgrass growth and survival. The principal investigators are examining how ocean acidification impacts ecological interactions between eelgrass and its epibiota under varying levels of nutrient stress and habitat complexity. Specifically, the research analyzes how...
This $300,000 EAGER (Early-concept Grants for Exploratory Research) project, awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), aims to examine whether chemical reactions can alter the composition of land-derived organic carbon in a way that makes it appear similar to marine organic carbon. The research team from Old Dominion University Research Foundation will conduct experiments to monitor the reaction rates and compositional changes of land-derived organic...
This $317,996 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to investigate the mechanisms by which benthic infauna (seafloor organisms) modify marine sediments through burrowing and feeding activities, a process known as bioturbation. The project, awarded to the University of Texas at Austin, aims to quantify the relationships between infaunal community structure, sediment geotechnical properties, and bioturbation rates...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $453,714 to Trustees of Boston University to conduct collaborative research on the role of shallow benthic fluxes in the coastal carbon cycle along the East Coast of the United States. The project aims to synthesize disparate datasets on benthic variables to improve understanding of the mechanisms and environmental conditions influencing coastal sediment-water interactions and their...
