The National Science Foundation awarded a $410,518 three-year Project Grant to The University of Puget Sound under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research on aerobic methane production in ocean environments. The university will collaborate with scientists in the U.S. and Israel to study the microbial processes that produce methane through the degradation of organic compounds in the surface waters of the North Pacific and North Atlantic oceans. Researchers will measure methane...
This $165,410 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) is funding research at North Carolina State University to better understand the biophysical drivers of methane source-sink transitions in northern forests. The key research objectives are to: 1) Identify the roles and response of soil microbial communities in driving methane flux across environmental gradients; 2) Quantify how wet vs. dry microsites and above- vs. below-ground...

The National Science Foundation Division of Biological Infrastructure is providing the funding under the Biological Sciences program...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $174,000 Project Grant to support research titled "EAR-PF SALINITY INFLUENCE ON METHANE EMISSIONS FROM TIDAL WETLANDS DETERMINED BY CLUMPED ISOTOPES." The two-year award began June 1, 2022 and will support work conducted in College Park, MD through May 31, 2024. The grant was awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean...
This $155,698 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities (IA) program, CFDA #47.083, supports a collaborative research project led by Mississippi State University (MSU) to study methane seepage along the U.S. Atlantic margin. The project aims to investigate the biogeochemical and geological controls on recently discovered methane seeps in the northern U.S. Atlantic margin, in order to improve understanding of methane's role in climate. Key...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project focused on understanding the controls on aerobic methane oxidation in deep-sea gas seeps. The $143,250 award to the University of Southern California will fund the development and deployment of custom instruments to measure methane consumption rates and monitor microbial communities in deep-sea environments with varying oxygen concentrations. The goal...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $199,678 Project Grant to the University of California, Merced, a minority-serving and Hispanic-serving educational institution, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The research project aims to quantify the response of oxic methane production to biogeochemical changes in aquatic ecosystems, using record Sierra Nevada snowmelt as a natural experiment. The researchers will determine the mechanisms...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $348,452 to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to conduct collaborative research on aerobic methane oxidation in the deep sea. The goal is to explore how differences in oxygen concentrations affect the ability of microbes to consume methane released from natural gas seeps on the seafloor. The project will use newly-developed instruments to measure methane consumption rates...
This $495,521 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research project to investigate the impacts of cold-season coastal wetland hydrology and freeze-thaw dynamics on lateral carbon fluxes in North Atlantic salt marshes. The project aims to: Monitor soil temperatures, groundwater, and surface water levels, salinity, and temperature in four salt marshes to better understand the extent and duration of marsh freezing....
The University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. was awarded a $199,278 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to measure methane efflux from river influenced coastal marine sediments. Over a three year period ending in September 2025, the awardee will conduct fieldwork during two cruises off the southeastern coast of Louisiana to directly measure benthic fluxes of oxygen and methane using in situ...
