The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $543,159 Project Grant under its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) to investigate the role of seagrass biogeochemistry and sedimentary alkalinity production in coastal carbon cycling and marine carbon dioxide removal strategies. The research project will measure alkalinity production in seagrass ecosystems and evaluate the efficacy of emerging marine carbon dioxide removal technologies that aim to increase the ocean's natural absorption of atmospheric carbon dioxide. The 3-year award period runs from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027. The project includes training opportunities for graduate, undergraduate, and community college students. No federal grant sub-awards are planned for this award.
