The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $347,930 Project Grant to the Georgia TECH Research Corporation, doing business as the Office Of Sponsored Programs, to support the project "MAPPING DISSOLVED OXYGEN USING OBSERVATIONS AND MACHINE LEARNING" from August 15, 2021 through July 31, 2024. The project aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through the use of machine learning techniques to map dissolved oxygen levels based on...
This $137,593 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to improve understanding of the biological carbon pump in the ocean's oxygen minimum zones. The project aims to measure particle abundance, size, and sinking rates, as well as the processes that break down organic matter, across the oxic-anoxic transition in the Eastern Tropical North Pacific. The researchers will incorporate these new observations into a mechanistic...
This three-year $767,724 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research to quantify biological productivity and ocean carbon uptake in the northeastern Subarctic Pacific. The awardee, Georgia Tech Research Corporation, will integrate in-vitro, in-situ and satellite observations with high-performance modeling. Fieldwork in June 2024 will include incubation experiments and underway measurements at...
This $125,722 National Science Foundation project grant supports research to develop an effective ocean oxygen sampling strategy through 2026. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the University of Texas at Austin will use existing oxygen observations and numerical models to calculate float populations and distributions needed to resolve oxygen changes over space and time. Models will also assess how historical and additional oxygen data can reduce uncertainty in understanding...
This $113,988 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to conduct collaborative research on understanding the transfer of particulate organic carbon to the deep ocean in oxygen minimum zones. The key products or services to be delivered under this 3-year award include: measuring particle abundance, size, and sinking rates; quantifying particle breakdown and...
This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences provides $185,519 to The Trustees of Columbia University for collaborative research probing the ventilation efficiency of the deep ocean with conservative dissolved gas tracers in archived samples. The research directly supports the goals of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $436,628 Project Grant to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation from December 2021 through November 2024. The grant supports collaborative research titled "Microdiversity Drives Ecosystem Function: SAR11 Bacteria as Models for Oceanic Nitrogen Loss." The research aims to strengthen fundamental understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in ocean sciences, as outlined in the Geosciences...
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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $869,346 to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution to study nitrogen cycling and nitrous oxide production in the Atlantic Ocean. The key products and services to be delivered through this 3-year project include: Measuring and mapping the distribution and isotopic composition of nitrous oxide in the Atlantic interior using a large dataset of over 950...
This $300,774 project grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Rochester. The grant will fund collaborative research to understand the efficient transfer of particulate organic carbon (POC) to the deep ocean in oxygen minimum zones (OMZs). The research aims to measure POC flux, remineralization rates, particle size distribution, and zooplankton abundance across an oxygen gradient in the Eastern Tropical North Pacific...

This $563,629 project grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Georgia Tech Research Corporation to conduct collaborative research on assessing global ocean oxygen inventory, trends, and variability. The key goals are to: 1) identify the causes of disagreements between different gridded oxygen datasets through intercomparison analyses, and 2) test hypotheses for the underlying drivers of global ocean deoxygenation using the new datasets. The project will generate standardized, high-resolution, four-dimensional datasets on global oxygen distribution and support workforce development through the involvement of an early career investigator, postdoc, graduate student, and undergraduate interns. The results will be disseminated through open-access publications and data repositories, and the research will be conducted in collaboration with the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research. No subawards are planned for this grant.
