This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) is providing $543,159 to the University of California, Davis to conduct research on seagrass biogeochemistry and sedimentary alkalinity production in coastal carbon cycling. The research will quantify sediment alkalinity fluxes and investigate the biogeochemical processes controlling them across two contrasting seagrass ecosystems. This work aims to improve understanding of alkalinity and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $802,309 project grant to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York, doing business as Stony Brook University, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). This grant will fund a 3-year research project to advance the understanding and quantitative modeling of how complex patterns of oxidation-reduction and acid-base reactions within the bioturbated zone of ocean sediments impact biogeochemical...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $351,926 to Yale University to conduct research on the connections between tidal flooding, saltwater intrusion, and alkalinity exports in tidal marsh wetlands. The project will develop a mathematical model combining estuarine physics, hydrological drivers, and biogeochemistry to estimate how much alkalinity is delivered from marshes to the ocean. This research aims to improve...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $213,648 project grant to Texas A&M University under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) federal grant program. The grant supports a collaborative research project to study how changes in freshwater runoff affect the production and consumption of alkalinity, or acid-neutralizing capacity, in sediments of estuaries along the northwestern Gulf of Mexico. The project will examine three estuaries with varying freshwater inputs,...
This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences provides $139,898 to Florida State University from July 2021 through June 2024. The funding supports research to quantify sedimentary oxygen and carbon dioxide dynamics in a dry sandy beach affected by macroalgae deposition. This award advances the goals of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanded fundamental knowledge...
This three-year, $411,435 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research investigating how changing ocean conditions like ocean acidification and nutrient pollution affect eelgrass growth and survival. The principal investigators are examining how ocean acidification impacts ecological interactions between eelgrass and its epibiota under varying levels of nutrient stress and habitat complexity. Specifically, the research analyzes how...
This $521,796 National Science Foundation project grant through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research at San Diego State University Foundation from April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2026.
