NSF POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN BIOLOGY FY 2021: INTEGRATING MICROBIAL DYNAMICS INTO METHANE MODELS FOR NORTHERN PEATLAND AND POST-GLACIAL LAKES This $138,000 NSF project grant, awarded March 1, 2022 with a completion date of February 29, 2024, will fund research into integrating microbial dynamics into methane models for northern peatlands and post-glacial lakes. The National Science Foundation Division of Biological Infrastructure is providing the funding under the Biological Sciences program...
This $165,410 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) is funding research at North Carolina State University to better understand the biophysical drivers of methane source-sink transitions in northern forests. The key research objectives are to: 1) Identify the roles and response of soil microbial communities in driving methane flux across environmental gradients; 2) Quantify how wet vs. dry microsites and above- vs. below-ground...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $410,518 three-year Project Grant to The University of Puget Sound under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research on aerobic methane production in ocean environments. The university will collaborate with scientists in the U.S. and Israel to study the microbial processes that produce methane through the degradation of organic compounds in the surface waters of the North Pacific and North Atlantic oceans. Researchers will measure methane...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology provides $532,164 to the Woodwell Climate Research Center Inc. to conduct research understanding the biophysical drivers of the methane source-sink transition in northern forests from November 1, 2022 to October 31, 2025. The research will examine how forest soil microbial communities respond to climate warming and identify conditions that could cause northern forests to switch from being a methane sink...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $800,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to The Washington University's Office of Sponsored Research Services Division. The 3-year project aims to investigate the metabolic cooperation between a phototrophic bacterium and a methanogenic archaeon, and how this "syntrophic" interaction influences methane production and the nitrogen cycle in anoxic environments. The research will shed light on how these...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project focused on understanding the controls on aerobic methane oxidation in deep-sea gas seeps. The $143,250 award to the University of Southern California will fund the development and deployment of custom instruments to measure methane consumption rates and monitor microbial communities in deep-sea environments with varying oxygen concentrations. The goal...
This $180,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a postdoctoral fellowship project to study the hydrobiogeochemical controls on anaerobic oxidation of methane and methane emissions in wetland hyporheic zones. The project, led by Dr. Samuel Shaheen in collaboration with Drs. G.-H. Crystal Ng and Cara Santelli at the University of Minnesota, will integrate field, experimental, and modeling work to examine how microbial-scale...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $771,664 project grant under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, Inc. This 3-year grant, commencing on August 1, 2024, will support research to examine how abiotic stressors such as temperature, dryness, and microclimate variability within forest ecosystems influence microbial community assembly across vertical gradients. Key activities under this grant include: (1) multi-omic...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research by the University of North Texas to advance the understanding of methanotrophic bacteria metabolism and physiology. The $329,258 award, effective February 1, 2025 through January 31, 2030, will leverage genetic tools and CRISPR interference techniques to investigate the role of CO2 and RuBisCO in the metabolism of the bacterium Methylococcus capsulatus. The research...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $239,679 will fund research at the University of Maine from November 2022 to October 2025 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The award will support understanding the biophysical drivers of methane source-sink transitions in northern forests. Researchers will examine how forest soil microbial communities respond to climate warming and identify conditions that could shift forests from net methane sinks to sources. Field...
