The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $198,306 Project Grant under its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Delaware. The grant, which runs from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, supports collaborative research to synthesize polymer ionophores and fabricate potentiometric sensors for detecting carbonate ions in the ocean. The research aims to develop sensor devices with improved selectivity, response time, and long-term stability for monitoring ocean acidification...
This Project Grant award of $589,429.00 from the National Science Foundation's Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to Delaware State University supports the development of new optical and photonic sensing technologies for detecting dissolved trace gases in ocean water. The key objectives are to create small-scale mid-infrared fiber optic sensors that can be deployed in various locations to monitor air-water interface conditions and trace gas levels, providing detailed real-time data...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) aims to test and calibrate a method for estimating the historical carbonate ion concentration of seawater as an indicator of changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels over the past 800,000 years. The $284,622 award to Columbia University will fund a three-part research effort to: 1) determine the relationship between a foraminifer fragmentation index (MFI) and measured carbonate...
This $622,016 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports the collaborative development of a novel self-powered, multimodal pH, pressure, and temperature MEMS sensor system for marine carbon dioxide removal (MCDR) monitoring. The project involves researchers from the University of North Texas, University of Michigan, and University of California San Diego working to design, fabricate, and test this innovative sensor array to provide...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $262,534 to develop a novel carbon nanotube-based phosphate sensor for oceanographic use from June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2023. The University of Washington, through its Office of Sponsored Programs, will build and characterize a prototype potentiometric phosphate sensor using carbon nanotubes to test the sensor's response, sensitivity, lower...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program provides $299,642 to Morgan State University, a historically Black university in Baltimore, Maryland. The award supports faculty and undergraduate research to compare the effects of tidal marshes and oyster aquaculture on coastal carbon cycling in the Chesapeake Bay over a 3-year period from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026. Specifically, the project aims to measure particulate organic carbon,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $314,367 to Grand Valley State University (GVSU) aims to test and calibrate a rapid, inexpensive method for estimating past seawater carbonate ion concentrations. The goal is to determine if the Globorotalia menardii fragmentation index (MFI) can reliably measure changes in carbonate ion concentration, which is linked to the ocean's role in regulating atmospheric carbon dioxide levels during glacial...
The University of Delaware will receive $702,050 from the National Science Foundation under a Project Grant award to conduct measurements of stable carbon isotopes on board GO-SHIP cruises in the South Atlantic Ocean from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2025. The funding supports the Geosciences program, which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the University will enhance ability to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Award under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports fundamental research to characterize the physiological and environmental cycling of abundant osmolytes, which are small carbon-containing molecules produced by marine microorganisms. The $519,767 award to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington aims to quantify how environmental conditions, such as nutrient availability and temperature, impact the abundances and cycling rates of these...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $226,865.00 to the University of Delaware to collect high-resolution carbon isotope data on GO-SHIP cruises in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. The goal is to constrain ocean carbon uptake and storage by measuring the ratio of carbon-13 to carbon-12 in seawater dissolved inorganic carbon. The researchers have developed a specialized instrument that can provide unprecedented coverage and...
