This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences project grant, CFDA # 47.050 Geosciences, will support collaborative research to decipher the mechanisms of marine nitrous oxide (N2O) cycling in the Arabian Sea using stable isotopes, molecular markers, and in-situ rate measurements. The $809,222 award to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, a private non-profit research organization, will fund field work during the summers of 2024 and 2025, including a cruise of opportunity...
This $582,005 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research by The Trustees of Princeton University to investigate nitrous oxide (N2O) consumption in the surface ocean. The research aims to determine the factors that control or stimulate N2O reduction in surface waters and characterize the microbes responsible for the process. Specifically, the investigators will perform 15N tracer incubations to measure the rate of N2O reduction...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $869,346 to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution to study nitrogen cycling and nitrous oxide production in the Atlantic Ocean. The key products and services to be delivered through this 3-year project include: Measuring and mapping the distribution and isotopic composition of nitrous oxide in the Atlantic interior using a large dataset of over 950...
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 $467,675 Project Grant to the University of South Carolina (USC) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to study nitrous oxide cycling in the Arabian Sea. The award supports research to quantify rates of nitrous oxide production and consumption in marine oxygen-deficient zones using stable isotopes, molecular markers, and in-situ incubation experiments. The project will involve a team of U.S. and Indian...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $314,998 Project Grant under its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to investigate nitrogen cycling through the Mariana subduction zone. The project aims to establish the amount of nitrogen released by the subduction zone and compare it to the nitrogen entering the subduction zone, providing the first complete picture of nitrogen flux across an entire subduction zone. Key activities include...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support the acquisition of a modern mass spectrometer system by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI). The $648,639 award, with a performance period from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2026, will enable WHOI to develop a hybrid instrument that can simultaneously characterize complex organic molecules and their metal contents. This novel instrumentation will advance research...
This $292,831 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program aims to simultaneously measure nitrous oxide (N2O) production and consumption in ocean environments with varying dissolved oxygen levels. The research will be conducted by Arizona State University and will: 1) quantify N2O production and consumption rates as dissolved oxygen decreases from oxic to anoxic conditions, 2) determine the degree to which N2O consumption in anoxic zones balances increased...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $824,656 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Washington (UW) to study the impact of iron availability on heterotrophic bacterial carbon consumption in the mesopelagic, or "twilight zone," of the ocean. The research team will use a combination of laboratory culturing and field experiments to test hypotheses about how iron and carbon co-limit bacterial metabolism in this region of the water column,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $658,901 to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027 to conduct research characterizing the production, cycling, and environmental impacts of abundant organic osmolytes in the ocean. The research will: Identify differential osmolyte production by microbial taxa in response to nitrogen stress using osmolyte measurements and...
