This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $240,688 will fund research into the effects of recent seismic activity on hydrothermal vent circulation and iron export at the Kama'ehuakanaloa underwater volcano (formerly known as Lō'ihi) located approximately 30 miles south of Hawaii's Big Island. Awarded to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), this project will use a deep-diving robot to investigate whether lava was erupted on the seafloor...
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 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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program awarded a $626,646 Project Grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to investigate how the flow of hydrothermal vents in the ocean has changed over millions of years. The project will gather, expand, compare, and analyze chemical data from marine sediments to reconstruct variations in hydrothermal metal fluxes over the Cenozoic era. This will involve modeling element concentrations, analyzing lead isotopes, and examining...
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 $321,770 federal project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program on February 1, 2024 supports collaborative research by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to investigate links between deep and shallow volatile cycles of the Earth. The research aims to improve understanding of processes driving plate tectonics, the Earth's water and carbon cycles, and climate through analysis of seismic data and geochemical data from mid-ocean ridge rock...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support the acquisition of a modern mass spectrometer system by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI). The $648,639 award, with a performance period from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2026, will enable WHOI to develop a hybrid instrument that can simultaneously characterize complex organic molecules and their metal contents. This novel instrumentation will advance research...
This $387,090 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will support a collaborative research effort to enhance understanding of nitrogen cycling in deep-sea hydrothermal vent ecosystems. The project will employ specialized high-pressure equipment to conduct experiments measuring rates of nitrogen loss, recycling, and microbial assimilation across redox gradients at two distinct seafloor vent habitats. This work aims to address limitations...
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 $552,775 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to investigate benthic iron fluxes in the Labrador Sea, an important region of deep-water formation. The project aims to identify and quantify iron sources from ocean sediments to the overlying surface waters, which can influence the biological carbon pump in this high-latitude region. The research team from Florida State University will collect sediment and pore water...
