This $348,452 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to investigate aerobic methane oxidation in the deep sea. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will use custom-built instruments to measure methane consumption rates and monitor microbial communities at natural gas seep sites offshore Louisiana and Oregon. The goal is to understand how variations in deep-sea oxygen concentrations impact the ability of...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $410,518 three-year Project Grant to The University of Puget Sound under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research on aerobic methane production in ocean environments. The university will collaborate with scientists in the U.S. and Israel to study the microbial processes that produce methane through the degradation of organic compounds in the surface waters of the North Pacific and North Atlantic oceans. Researchers will measure...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $186,006 Project Grant under the Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program to the University of Louisiana at Lafayette to study methane seepage along the U.S. Atlantic margin. The 3-year project, starting September 1, 2024, will integrate geochemical, microbiological, geophysical, and geological data to investigate the origin, subsurface migration, and methane oxidation processes of these recently discovered seeps. The multidisciplinary...
This $443,926 National Science Foundation project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research into the physical and chemical controls on aerobic methane oxidation. The University of Rochester will investigate variables that influence the oxidation of methane in oxygenated natural waters to better understand this important greenhouse gas sink. Laboratory experiments and field work on the Great Lakes and US Atlantic coast will evaluate the kinetics of aerobic methane...
This $155,698 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities (IA) program, CFDA #47.083, supports a collaborative research project led by Mississippi State University (MSU) to study methane seepage along the U.S. Atlantic margin. The project aims to investigate the biogeochemical and geological controls on recently discovered methane seeps in the northern U.S. Atlantic margin, in order to improve understanding of methane's role in climate. Key...
This $1,038,171 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research into methane efflux from river-influenced coastal marine sediments in the Gulf of Mexico. The Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium will measure methane fluxes from coastal sediments into Gulf waters using an in situ lander to collect benthic flux measurements of oxygen and methane. Sediment microprofiles of oxygen and sulfide will also be analyzed. Naturally occurring...
This $387,090 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project to enhance understanding of nitrogen cycling in deep-sea hydrothermal vent ecosystems. The project will employ specialized equipment to conduct nitrogen cycling experiments under high-pressure conditions at seafloor vent habitats, addressing limitations of prior studies conducted at atmospheric pressure. The work will measure rates of...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $448,935 Project Grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution for research investigating the source and flux of dissolved organic carbon released from methane seeps to the deep ocean. The three-year award, made under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support collaborative research from April 1, 2021 to March 31, 2024. The Geosciences program seeks to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in...
The University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. was awarded a $199,278 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to measure methane efflux from river influenced coastal marine sediments. Over a three year period ending in September 2025, the awardee will conduct fieldwork during two cruises off the southeastern coast of Louisiana to directly measure benthic fluxes of oxygen and methane using in...
