This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will fund collaborative research to characterize the role of reverse weathering reactions on marine silicon (Si) and lithium (Li) isotope mass balances. The total award amount is $275,425 and the project period runs from July 15, 2024 to June 30, 2027. The research will study reverse weathering signatures within major sediment depocenters, such as the Amazon Delta, French Guiana Mobile...
This $374,395 National Science Foundation project grant through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at Rutgers University and Princeton University from December 2022 through November 2024. The grant supports the identification of silicate diagenesis processes controlling pore fluid chemistry in marine sediments and their influence on the geochemical budgets of magnesium, strontium, lithium, and boron through analysis of pore fluid samples from the Mid-Norwegian Margin....
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 $372,598 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to incorporate stream biogeochemistry into carbon assessment models for enhanced rock weathering, a carbon dioxide removal approach. The project aims to add biological processes like photosynthesis and respiration into a dynamic river network model to better quantify the fate of bicarbonate generated through enhanced rock weathering. This will help identify river...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $480,149 to the University of South Florida to conduct collaborative research on the Pacific Ocean iron cycle. The project aims to use iron isotopes as a tracer to investigate the sources, cycling, and transport of dissolved iron in the equatorial and subtropical Pacific. Key objectives include: Determining the relative contributions of dust, sediment, and hydrothermal sources to iron...
This Project Grant award, valued at $354,605.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The primary objectives of this 3-year project are to: Synthesize data from various sources, including observations and modeling, to evaluate the role of coastal seafloor sediments in the carbon and nutrient cycling of the Northeast United States region. This region was selected due to its relatively data-rich status and importance to the U.S. blue...
This Project Grant award of $335,489.00 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project at Florida State University (FSU) to study depth-dependent decarbonation processes in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California. The research aims to understand how the interaction of hot magma with the Earth's crust, through metamorphism, can drive the release of carbon and formation of mineral deposits, including those enriched in base and...
This $471,604 National Science Foundation project grant will fund research into the origin and expansion of silica biomineralization and its influence on the global silica cycle from 520-440 million years ago. The Regents of the University of Colorado will conduct stable isotope analysis of silicon in the oldest fossils of sponges and radiolarians from western United States geological sites. Researchers will evaluate isotope preservation and build an improved Cambrian-Ordovician silica isotope...
This $453,714 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research on the role of shallow benthic fluxes in the coastal carbon cycle along the east coast of the United States. The primary awardee, Trustees of Boston University, will lead a team that will synthesize existing data sources, including observations and modeling results, to evaluate how seafloor sediments influence carbon, oxygen, and nutrient cycling in...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences provides $174,000 to study the connections between silicate weathering and organic carbon cycling in watersheds within the Upper Deschutes Basin in Oregon from September 2021 through August 2023. The grant supports basic research under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the...
