This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $562,895.00 to the Regents of the University of Minnesota to conduct collaborative research on the role of the "colloidal shunt" in mediating interactions between the ocean's iron and carbon cycles. The research aims to better characterize the mechanisms and linkages between dissolved organic carbon, iron-binding organic ligands, and the formation of particulate iron in the ocean....
This Project Grant award for $382,137 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at the University of Minnesota to investigate the composition and iron oxidation state of the minerals lawsonite and epidote in subducted oceanic crust. The research aims to understand the controls on the conditions and fluid sources that influence mineral composition and iron chemistry in these hydrous minerals as oceanic plates subduct and transform at depth. Two...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program award, CFDA 47.050, provides $437,806 to the Regents of the University of Minnesota, Office of Sponsored Projects Administration, to conduct collaborative research on the molecular speciation of trace elements like iron, copper, zinc, and manganese in the Southern Ocean and Antarctic continental shelf. The research aims to identify the organic ligands that bind to these biologically essential metals, and determine their sources and reactivity, in order to better understand trace element cycling in the region. The project will assess biological ligand production as the ecosystem shifts from low to high productivity conditions, measure changes in ligand accumulation and composition in deep water masses, and investigate the role of sea ice on metal-ligand dynamics. Two graduate students and undergraduate interns will be supported and trained through this research effort, which runs from October 1, 2023 to August 31, 2024.
