This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) is focused on investigating benthic iron fluxes in the Labrador Sea, a critical region for deep-water formation and biological carbon cycling. The $134,212 award to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will support research to identify and quantify iron sources from ocean sediments to the overlying waters, using sediment sampling, pore water analysis, and numerical ocean circulation modeling....
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program Project Grant, awarded to Georgia Tech Research Corporation, will investigate the biogeochemical and physical processes regulating the benthic flux and speciation of iron from non-upwelling continental margins. The $880,688 award, effective October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2026, aims to quantify the flux of iron from sediments to the water column in the western North Atlantic Ocean and western Mediterranean Sea. The research team...
This federal Project Grant award of $191,150 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports research by Florida State University (FSU) to investigate the role of benthic iron fluxes in fertilizing primary productivity in the Amundsen Sea, near the fastest melting Antarctic glaciers. The key objectives are to analyze sediment pore water iron content and speciation, and calculate iron fluxes across the sediment-water interface, to determine if benthic iron...
This Project Grant award for $540,281 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project between U.S. and U.K. scientists to better understand the linkages between the oceanic cycles of iron and carbon. The research aims to characterize the "colloidal shunt" mechanism, whereby dissolved iron forms aggregates with organic carbon to create particulate matter that sinks out of the upper water column. The project will...
This $334,856 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award to Kent State University supports research to study iron cycling in sediments in the Gulf of Alaska. The research aims to better understand the source of iron from sediments to the ocean water column in this high nutrient, low chlorophyll region, where iron limits primary productivity. The project will use a paired porewater and sediment geochemical approach to investigate the quantity, speciation, and remobilization processes...
This Project Grant award for $197,103, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports a collaborative research effort to better understand the linkages between the oceanic cycles of iron and carbon. The project will integrate field observations from the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) and Cape Verde Ocean Observatory regions with targeted experimental studies and advanced ocean biogeochemical modeling. Key areas of focus include examining...
This Project Grant award of $480,149 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research effort between the University of South Florida and the University of Hawaii. The project will measure iron isotopes in seawater samples from the Pacific Ocean to better understand the sources, cycling, and biological impacts of iron, an essential nutrient that limits ocean productivity in large regions. Combining these iron isotope measurements with...
This Project Grant award of $369,916.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research by the University of South Florida and the University of Hawaii to investigate the ocean iron cycle in the subtropical and equatorial Pacific. The research team will measure iron isotopes in seawater samples collected during several GEOTRACES expeditions to determine the sources, cycling, and transport of dissolved iron. This data will be...
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 $364,678 project grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will investigate how groundwater discharge delivers dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) and iron to the coastal ecosystems of the West Florida Shelf. The research team, led by Texas A&M University, will quantify the flux and isotopic signatures of submarine groundwater discharge-derived DON and iron, evaluate their bioavailability, and assess the impact on nitrogen fixation...
