This $387,090 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will support a collaborative research effort to enhance understanding of nitrogen cycling in deep-sea hydrothermal vent ecosystems. The project will employ specialized high-pressure equipment to conduct experiments measuring rates of nitrogen loss, recycling, and microbial assimilation across redox gradients at two distinct seafloor vent habitats. This work aims to address limitations...
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...
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...
The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth received a $336,586 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on deciphering the mechanisms of marine nitrous oxide (N2O) cycling. The research team, which includes one postdoctoral investigator, two graduate students, and several undergraduates, will use stable isotopes, molecular markers, and in-situ rate measurements to study N2O production and consumption in the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program awarded a $626,646 Project Grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to investigate how the flow of hydrothermal vents in the ocean has changed over millions of years. The project will gather, expand, compare, and analyze chemical data from marine sediments to reconstruct variations in hydrothermal metal fluxes over the Cenozoic era. This will involve modeling element concentrations, analyzing lead isotopes, and examining...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $313,465 Project Grant under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to The Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts for the period of April 1, 2022 through March 31, 2025. The grant will support research examining the potential importance of intracellular nitrate cycling in nitrogen cycling within marine sediments. The awardee will measure rates of intracellular nitrate cycling and other major...
This Project Grant award of $314,998 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a study on nitrogen recycling across the Mariana subduction zone. The research, conducted by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, aims to investigate the flux of nitrogen between the Earth's surface and deep interior driven by plate tectonics. The project will analyze rock samples from the forearc, arc, and backarc regions of the Mariana subduction zone to quantify the...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $675,704 supports research at the University of Maine from April 2022 through March 2025 to advance understanding of nitrogen cycling in marine sediments. The award is funded through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to expand knowledge of integrated Earth systems through atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences research. Specifically, the University of Maine researchers will measure intracellular nitrate cycling rates and other...
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.
