- This $499,225 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research project between Old Dominion University Research Foundation and the United States Department of Geological Survey to decipher drivers and variability in salt marsh lateral carbon export. Over three years, the researchers will investigate how elevation within the tidal frame influences dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, and dissolved organic carbon export...
- This Project Grant award for $388,527, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports research on how salt affects the photodegradation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in aquatic ecosystems. The project, led by Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (TAMU-CC), will investigate the role of salt in photochemical reactions involving DOM, which plays key ecological roles in energy transfer, metal binding, and interactions with pollutants. Experiments...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $383,646 Project Grant to Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey to conduct collaborative research on hydrogeophysical monitoring and modeling of soil salinization processes in coastal transition zones. The research aims to improve understanding of how subsurface heterogeneity regulates gradual and rapid saltwater intrusion driven by climate change and sea level rise. Key project activities include: Applying...
- 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 $860,741 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a collaborative research project titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: MRA: PANAM PEAT: UNDERSTANDING WATER AND CARBON CYCLING ACROSS THE PAN-AMERICAN TROPICAL PEATLAND BIOME" at Arizona State University. The overarching goal is to gain new insights into tropical peatland environments and better constrain regional and global carbon budgets. Key deliverables...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $305,824 to Oregon State University supports research to investigate how changes in land cover and climate are impacting water and carbon cycles in grasslands. The key activities include: Quantifying how woody encroachment alters soil water flow and groundwater dynamics in the Konza Prairie research site in Kansas. Measuring the impact of woody encroachment on carbon processes like respiration and...
This $219,815 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support collaborative research at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville to quantify the impacts of soil salinization on carbon cycling and exchange across terrestrial-aquatic boundaries. The key objectives are to: 1) measure field relationships between terrestrial and stream carbon dynamics across a salinity gradient, 2) experimentally determine how soil salinization affects carbon exchange in paired terrestrial-aquatic mesocosms, and 3) integrate the field and mesocosm data to better understand and predict the ecosystem-level impacts of salinization. The project aims to identify fundamental principles about how aquatic and terrestrial systems respond to increased salinization, which is a growing global issue. The research will also support student training and incorporate citizen science to increase public awareness.
