This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will provide $334,904 from December 1, 2024 to November 30, 2026 to the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) to investigate how the increasing prevalence of weedy seagrass species affects coastal ecosystem functioning and carbon cycling. The key objectives of this research project are to: 1) Assess how seagrass species identity and bivalve functional traits interact to influence...
This $499,225 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research project between Old Dominion University Research Foundation and the United States Department of Geological Survey to decipher drivers and variability in salt marsh lateral carbon export. Over three years, the researchers will investigate how elevation within the tidal frame influences dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, and dissolved organic carbon export...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $354,605 to Northeastern University will synthesize data on the role of shallow benthic fluxes in the coastal carbon cycle along the East Coast of the United States. The project aims to better understand how sediments in coastal areas recycle nutrients and store carbon, influencing water quality and atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. The research will combine existing long-term sediment and water...
This Project Grant of $533,586 was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), a private non-profit research organization, on April 1, 2024. The grant is part of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports fundamental research to expand knowledge and understanding of the Earth system. The research funded under this award aims to quantify the transport and fate of carbon exported into the...
This three-year, $489,998 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences aims to advance understanding of lateral carbon export from salt marshes. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will investigate drivers of dissolved inorganic carbon, dissolved organic carbon, and total alkalinity fluxes across six New England marsh sites. Researchers...
This $224,827 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support collaborative research at Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) to quantify how salinization impacts carbon processing across terrestrial-aquatic boundaries. The key objectives are to: 1) measure field relationships between soil and stream chemistry across a salinity gradient, 2) experimentally determine how soil salinization...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $300,000 Project Grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for research titled "EAGER: Characteristic Disruptions of the Marine Carbon Cycle." The two-year award beginning in August 2021 will fund basic research under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through support of investigations into the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences....
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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to investigate the impact of plastic-derived dissolved organic carbon on ocean biogeochemistry and the biological carbon pump. The $569,435 award to Northeastern University will utilize a combination of laboratory experiments, field sampling, and numerical modeling to explore how bacteria consuming plastic-derived organic matter could compete with phytoplankton for key nutrients...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $448,935 Project Grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution for research investigating the source and flux of dissolved organic carbon released from methane seeps to the deep ocean. The three-year award, made under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support collaborative research from April 1, 2021 to March 31, 2024. The Geosciences program seeks to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in...
