This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to investigate hydrothermal alteration and marine chemistry in Proterozoic ophiolites, which are ancient pieces of ocean floor. The $328,588 award to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) will fund analysis of iron, strontium, and oxygen isotopes in rock samples to reconstruct past ocean oxygen levels and seawater composition from 750 million to 2 billion years...
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $395,871.00 and commencing on September 1, 2024, was issued by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050). The grant supports collaborative research to investigate the biogeochemical and microbial processes behind the production of sulfate minerals, which can serve as a "time capsule" for reconstructing ancient atmospheric compositions and global biogeochemical features. The research aims to better understand the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $156,324 to Occidental College supports a collaborative research project investigating the geometry and distribution of subducted sediment in the southern U.S. Cordillera. The research establishes a new collaboration between two universities and provides training opportunities for five undergraduate students from historically marginalized and underrepresented groups. The project will use the unique...
This $197,103 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research between U.S. and U.K. scientists to better understand the linkages between iron and organic carbon cycles in the ocean. The research will integrate field observations from the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study and Cape Verde Ocean Observatory regions with targeted experimental studies and ocean biogeochemical modeling. The project aims to...
This $569,967 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research on using hydrogen isotope analysis of amino acids as a novel tracer to study microbial processes and the formation and sinking of organic particles in the marine environment. The project will analyze archived marine particle samples, conduct phytoplankton culture experiments, and perform degradation experiments to develop this isotopic approach for...
This $387,090 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project to enhance understanding of nitrogen cycling in deep-sea hydrothermal vent ecosystems. The project will employ specialized equipment to conduct nitrogen cycling experiments under high-pressure conditions at seafloor vent habitats, addressing limitations of prior studies conducted at atmospheric pressure. The work will measure rates of...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $230,513 Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Oklahoma to investigate the impact of ocean warming on trace metal requirements and use efficiencies of marine nitrifying microorganisms. The 3-year project, which commenced on May 1, 2024, seeks to provide a deeper understanding of how major biogeochemical cycles supporting marine resources will respond to climate change. The research involves laboratory studies...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $261,152 will fund a collaborative research project to study reaction pathways in oceanic serpentinites through laboratory experiments from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The University of Colorado at Boulder will receive the award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct quantitative analyses of the alteration of seafloor mantle rocks through serpentinization reactions with seawater.
The research aims to better...
The National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) awarded a $296,303 Project Grant to the University of California, Berkeley to conduct research evaluating the development, stability, and evolution of shell gravel habitats along a latitudinal gradient on the Pacific coast of North America. The project aims to assess the coevolution of benthic invertebrate communities and shell gravel habitats, quantifying processes such as shell accumulation rates, community-substrate...
This $185,094 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund the acquisition of an energy dispersive spectrometer and carbon coater for a field emission scanning electron microscope facility at the University of California, Berkeley.
