This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $126,324 to Texas A&M University to conduct research on the contribution of allochthonous dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) to biological nitrogen demand in the subtropical North Pacific Ocean. The research expedition will depart from San Diego, CA and end in Honolulu, HI to study the production, accumulation, chemical composition, and utilization of DON and link it to photosynthesis...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program Project Grant (CFDA 47.050) awarded to the University of New Hampshire (UNH) provides $155,302 to support collaborative research on the contribution of allochthonous (externally-derived) dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) to biological nitrogen demand in the subtropical North Pacific Ocean. The research expedition will depart from San Diego, CA and end in Honolulu, HI to study the production, accumulation, chemical composition, and...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $107,673 to the Regents of the University of Minnesota to study the role of dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) in sustaining biological productivity in the oligotrophic subtropical North Pacific Ocean. The award will fund a one-month research expedition from San Diego, CA to Honolulu, HI to collect observations on DON concentration, composition, and utilization by marine microbes. The...
This federal Project Grant award of $309,557.00 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to trace the fate of amino acids and the formation of refractory dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) in the ocean. The study will use stable isotope probing with 15N-labeled amino acids and controlled incubations to investigate how different amino acids are remineralized, converted to labile DON, or transformed into refractory DON. Advanced mass...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: USING STABLE ISOTOPE LABELING TO TRACE THE FATE OF AMINO ACIDS AND FORMATION OF REFRACTORY DISSOLVED ORGANIC NITROGEN (DON) IN THE OCEAN", was funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The $283,615 award, made to Coastal Carolina University, will investigate how amino acids are transformed into different forms of dissolved organic nitrogen in the ocean. Using stable isotope labeling...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant awarded under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research to understand the impacts of plastic-derived dissolved organic carbon (PDOC) on the ocean's biological carbon pump. The $665,899 award, effective April 1, 2025 through March 31, 2028, will fund a team from the University of New Hampshire to conduct laboratory experiments, field sampling, and numerical modeling to test the hypothesis that bacteria...
This Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation under its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), aims to provide a thorough characterization of the dissolved organic matter (DOM) released by marine nitrifiers. The $300,785 award, effective December 1, 2024 through November 30, 2026, will support laboratory culturing and incubation studies, as well as field experiments, to determine the chemical composition, quantity, release mechanisms, and bioavailability of nitrifier-derived DOM....
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research project to understand the efficient transfer of particulate organic carbon to the deep ocean within oxygen minimum zones. The $137,593 award, effective September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2027, will support field research in the Eastern Tropical North Pacific to measure particle abundance, size, sinking rates, and decomposition under varying oxygen levels. The data...
This $297,369 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research evaluating the contribution of small eukaryotes to nitrate-based new production in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. Over a three-year period ending November 2025, the University of Hawaii at Manoa will conduct laboratory and ship-based research to better understand how phytoplankton access subsurface nitrogen in surface waters during summer months. Researchers will sort phytoplankton...
