This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award provides $354,605 to Northeastern University to synthesize and analyze data on the role of shallow benthic fluxes in the coastal carbon cycle along the East Coast of the United States. The 3-year project, which begins on April 1, 2025, aims to:
Combine observational data, modeling results, and re-analyses to evaluate how environmental conditions impact benthic fluxes of carbon, oxygen, and nutrients...
This $562,895 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to better understand the linkages between the oceanic cycles of iron and organic carbon. The research, conducted by a team of U.S. and U.K. scientists, aims to characterize the "colloidal shunt" mechanism whereby dissolved iron forms aggregates with organic matter, resulting in the vertical export of both particulate iron and organic...
This $308,515 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research by the University of Rochester to study changes in pelagic ecosystem function and their impact on the carbon cycle from the early Eocene to the early Oligocene (~56-33.9 million years ago). The investigators will reconstruct changes in the South Atlantic subtropical gyre ecosystem and determine how these changes affected carbonate production and burial during this...
This $349,370 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Coastal Carolina University from July 2022 to June 2025 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The university will investigate the influence of ocean sediments on neodymium isotope signatures as tracers of deep water circulation patterns in the North Atlantic. Researchers hypothesize that sediments are a primary source of rare earth elements to ocean waters, in contrast to existing models considering sediments...
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 $499,225 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research project between Old Dominion University Research Foundation and the United States Department of Geological Survey to decipher drivers and variability in salt marsh lateral carbon export. Over three years, the researchers will investigate how elevation within the tidal frame influences dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, and dissolved organic carbon export...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $360,269 will fund research into the chromatographic separation and degradation of dissolved and particulate organic matter in permeable shelf sediments. The award was made on June 1, 2022 to Florida State University's Sponsored Research Administration under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) and is scheduled to be completed by May 31, 2025.
The research will study how sandy sediments influence the carbon cycle through their ability...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $523,014 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Massachusetts (UMass) to develop computational models of global carbon dioxide (CO2) fluxes from inland waters. The research aims to provide robust, physically-constrained estimates of CO2 emissions from rivers, streams, lakes, and reservoirs by coupling hydrologic and hydraulic routing systems with a stream network CO2 model. The project will validate the...
This $540,281 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), supports a collaborative research effort to better understand the linkages between the oceanic cycles of iron and carbon. Led by the Old Dominion University Research Foundation (ODURF), 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 ocean...
This $109,866 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research effort to discriminate between marine and terrestrial sediment deposits in coastal wetlands using a multi-proxy analytical approach. The research aims to improve understanding of the relative contributions of marine and terrestrial sources to compound flooding events driven by stronger, wetter, and slower-moving hurricanes caused by anthropogenic global...
