This $419,968 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project to examine the biogeochemistry of dissolved organic sulfur (DOS) in the Pacific Ocean. The key objectives are to: 1) quantify the DOS inventory across the Pacific, 2) identify the processes governing DOS production and removal, and 3) investigate the reactivity of DOS components through year-long monthly sampling near Bermuda. The project...
This $540,281 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project to better understand the linkages between ocean iron and carbon cycles. The project, led by the Old Dominion University Research Foundation (Odurf), aims to characterize the "colloidal shunt" mechanism that governs how dissolved iron interacts with organic matter and influences the export of carbon from the upper ocean. Through a...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded Old Dominion University Research Foundation a $337,734 Project Grant under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to support collaborative research measurements of dissolved aluminum, iron, and manganese in the South Pacific Gyre and Southern Ocean from September 2021 through August 2024. This funding will allow Odurf to provide shipboard trace metal sampling and analysis services as part of the US GEOTRACES GP17-OCE...
Old Dominion University Research Foundation was awarded a $465,383 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences. The grant falls under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences to strengthen the national scientific enterprise. Specifically, the funding will support the "US GEOTRACES GP17-OCE: HYDROGEN SULFIDE AS A STRONG LIGAND AFFECTING THE SPECIATION AND SOLUBILITY OF KEY TRACE...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $283,615 to Coastal Carolina University for a collaborative research project to study the fate of amino acids and the formation of refractory dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) in the ocean. The project uses stable isotope labeling techniques to trace how amino acids are transformed into different nitrogen compounds, including those that can persist in the ocean for thousands of years....
This $300,785 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a research project to characterize the chemical composition and bioavailability of dissolved organic matter released by marine nitrifying microorganisms. The project aims to determine how this material contributes to carbon cycling in the deep ocean, which may help improve biogeochemical models and inform potential marine carbon dioxide removal activities. The research will...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, provided under the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), supports a collaborative research project to investigate the role of the "colloidal shunt" mechanism in mediating the ocean's iron and carbon cycles. The $691,259 award to Oregon State University, with an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2028, will integrate field observations from the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) and Cape Verde Ocean Observatory...
This $300,000 EAGER (Early-concept Grants for Exploratory Research) project, awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), aims to examine whether chemical reactions can alter the composition of land-derived organic carbon in a way that makes it appear similar to marine organic carbon. The research team from Old Dominion University Research Foundation will conduct experiments to monitor the reaction rates and compositional changes of land-derived organic...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) award of $145,392 to the University of Delaware provides funding for a 5-year project to investigate organic carbon cycling processes in aging oceanic crust. The key objectives are to: 1) expand research to additional study sites to better understand how cool, aging ocean crust affects dissolved organic matter, 2) develop new analytical methods to characterize dissolved organic matter, and 3) refine global estimates of...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $237,316 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Pomona College to conduct collaborative research on the contribution of allochthonous dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) to biological nitrogen demand in the subtropical North Pacific Ocean. The three-year project, running from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027, aims to identify the sources, production, accumulation, chemical composition, and utilization of DON to better understand how...
