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 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences provides $472,927 to the Regents of the University of Minnesota for collaborative research to constrain the neodymium isotope and rare earth element cycles near the Amundsen Sea continental margin from June 15, 2021 through May 31, 2024. The research aims to strengthen understanding of integrated Earth system processes through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences as part of the NSF's...
This $194,910 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund collaborative research to advance understanding of trace element biogeochemistry in the Amundsen Sea region of West Antarctica. Rutgers, The State University will analyze approximately 500 suspended particle and sediment samples collected during the NSF's GEOTRACES GP17-ANT cruise to quantify distributions of 40 trace elements. The investigators will...
The University of South Florida received a three-year, $352,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant funds collaborative research on dissolved concentrations, isotopes, and colloids of the bioactive trace metals. The Geosciences program supports basic research to strengthen understanding of Earth's integrated system. This award will further such understanding through research on key trace metal...
This $916,578 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports fundamental research to expand understanding of iron adaptation in marine phytoplankton across global oceans. The key objectives are to: Characterize iron storage capacities and limitation thresholds for 20 Synechococcus phytoplankton strains from 11 ecotypes across a range of ocean iron niches. Analyze gene regulation responses to varying iron availability for the 20...
This $224,928 three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), will fund collaborative research on adaptations of Southern Ocean diatoms to manganese scarcity. The University of Georgia Research Foundation will support two early career scientists and one female Earth scientist to conduct culture experiments on three Antarctic and one temperate diatom species. Using physiological,...
The Regents of the University of Minnesota, through its Office of Sponsored Projects Administration, received a $286,561 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050).
