This $586,557 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research initiative to develop artificial intelligence (AI) models that can leverage gene sequence data to better understand ecosystem processes, with a focus on methane seep habitats. The project will collect new microbial samples from methane seeps off the coasts of Oregon and Washington and employ novel natural language processing AI approaches to predict the functions of unknown genes. This work aims to provide a scalable approach to advance key questions in Earth system science, with plans to develop and disseminate tutorials, workshops, and artistic exhibits to further broaden the application of the AI models. No sub-awards are planned under this award, which has a project period from September 15, 2024 to August 31, 2027.
