This $396,079 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) aims to investigate how bacteria and biofilm growth in river sediments regulate the formation of low-oxygen microzones that produce the potent greenhouse gas nitrous oxide. The University of California, Davis (UC Davis) will perform sediment column experiments, microfluidic studies, and numerical simulations to characterize the spatio-temporal dynamics of these anoxic microzones and...
Colorado State University was awarded a $199,724 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2024. The grant will support collaborative research examining new roles for reactive oxygen species in mediating carbon fluxes at the terrestrial-aquatic interface. Specifically, the funding will enable investigation of how reactive oxygen species produced during microbial decomposition in soils and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program project grant award of $550,590 to the University of South Carolina (USC) aims to investigate nitrous oxide (N2O) cycling in the sediments of the Northern Benguela Upwelling System off the west coast of Africa. The multidisciplinary research team, including geochemists and microbial ecologists, will determine the net sediment-water column flux of N2O, the rates of N2O production and consumption by different processes, and the influence...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $625,065 to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to conduct research on how micronutrient limitations, specifically iron and copper, impact the physiology and nitrous oxide production of ammonia oxidizing bacteria and archaea. The project aims to use stable isotopes of nitrogen and oxygen as tools to investigate how the availability of these key metals influences the growth,...
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...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $280,354 project grant under its Geosciences program to Florida State University (FSU) to investigate sedimentary nitrous oxide (N2O) production and consumption in the Northern Benguela Upwelling System off the west coast of Africa. The 3-year project will utilize multi-isotope tracing and microbial ecology approaches to determine the net sediment-water column flux of N2O, production and consumption rates, and the link between measured rates and active...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research to quantify the contribution of wetlands and floodplains to carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from streams and rivers. The $300,000 award to Yale University will fund a 3-year project that combines computer modeling and field measurements to determine the magnitude, frequency, and duration of water exchange between these aquatic habitats and adjacent rivers. The...
This $582,005 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research by The Trustees of Princeton University to investigate nitrous oxide (N2O) consumption in the surface ocean. The research aims to determine the factors that control or stimulate N2O reduction in surface waters and characterize the microbes responsible for the process. Specifically, the investigators will perform 15N tracer incubations to measure the rate of N2O reduction...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $149,643 to San Diego State University Research Foundation from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The funding will support research to better quantify nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions in the North Slope of Alaska. Specifically, the grantee will measure N2O fluxes using chambers across vegetated and unvegetated areas in the coastal plain to constrain...
