This $155,698 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities (IA) program, CFDA #47.083, supports a collaborative research project led by Mississippi State University (MSU) to study methane seepage along the U.S. Atlantic margin. The project aims to investigate the biogeochemical and geological controls on recently discovered methane seeps in the northern U.S. Atlantic margin, in order to improve understanding of methane's role in climate. Key...
The University of Delaware received a $201,558 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities (IA) program to study the drivers and dynamics of methane seepage along the U.S. Atlantic Margin. The 3-year project, which began on September 1, 2024, will integrate geochemical, microbiological, geophysical, and geological data to investigate the origin, subsurface migration, and methane oxidation processes of recently discovered methane seeps in the...
The University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. (UGA Research Foundation) was awarded a $298,161 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to study methane seepage along the U.S. Atlantic margin. The project aims to investigate the biogeochemical and geological processes governing recently discovered methane seeps in 200-1000 meter depths off the northern Atlantic coast. The research will integrate geochemical, microbiological,...
This $143,250 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research to study controls on aerobic methane oxidation in the deep sea. The principal investigators will deploy custom instruments to measure methane consumption rates and monitor microbial communities at gas seep sites offshore Louisiana and Oregon. The goal is to examine how oxygen concentrations and other environmental factors influence the ability of...
This $348,452 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to investigate aerobic methane oxidation in the deep sea. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will use custom-built instruments to measure methane consumption rates and monitor microbial communities at natural gas seep sites offshore Louisiana and Oregon. The goal is to understand how variations in deep-sea oxygen concentrations impact the ability of...
This $1,038,171 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research into methane efflux from river-influenced coastal marine sediments in the Gulf of Mexico. The Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium will measure methane fluxes from coastal sediments into Gulf waters using an in situ lander to collect benthic flux measurements of oxygen and methane. Sediment microprofiles of oxygen and sulfide will also be analyzed. Naturally occurring...
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...
The University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. was awarded a $199,278 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to measure methane efflux from river influenced coastal marine sediments. Over a three year period ending in September 2025, the awardee will conduct fieldwork during two cruises off the southeastern coast of Louisiana to directly measure benthic fluxes of oxygen and methane using in...
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...
This two-year, $544,624 National Science Foundation project grant funds research on methane venting from seafloor faults in Puget Sound, Washington. The University of Washington will measure methane gas flows from newly discovered bubble plumes on the seafloor using a remotely operated vehicle to place instruments directly in the gas streams. Graduate and undergraduate students, including five from underrepresented communities of color, will participate in shipboard and laboratory work. The...
