This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research by Boise State University to investigate how microbial activity and fluid flow dynamics in river sediments influence the production and emission of the potent greenhouse gas nitrous oxide. The $189,234 award will fund experiments and numerical simulations to determine the spatial and temporal patterns of low-oxygen microzones that facilitate nitrous oxide generation. This work aims...
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 $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) 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,...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences has awarded a $448,915 Project Grant to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) for the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2026. The grant is funded under the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system. The primary objective of this project is to develop new analytical and imaging tools to provide spatially...
The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $300,000 Project Grant to Stanford University from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2024. The grant supports collaborative research titled "Changes in Hyporheic Exchange and Nitrous Oxide Generation Due to Streambed Alteration by Macro-Roughness Elements" under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The Geosciences program aims to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanded fundamental knowledge and...
This two-year, $180,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research into the role of subsurface microbial communities in biogeochemical cycling and carbon storage across spatial and temporal scales in the United States and Puerto Rico. Dr. Dawson Fairbanks of the University of California-Riverside will explore how soil microbial diversity and functionality respond to changing environmental conditions from the micro to continental...
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...
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...
