The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $170,516 Project Grant under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) to investigate periodicity patterns in abyssal hill morphology in the Atlantic Ocean. The project aims to employ a newly-developed algorithm to detect and quantify any periodic signals embedded within the otherwise random abyssal hill profiles, which could provide insights into mid-ocean ridge dynamics and plate formation processes....
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) provides $200,249 to the University of Georgia Research Foundation (UGA Research Foundation) from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026. The funding will support the development of a new seafloor sensor/sampler array and advanced control systems to better understand how tidal pumping and subsurface currents influence seafloor oxygenation and sedimentary...
The National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) awarded a $296,303 Project Grant to the University of California, Berkeley to conduct research evaluating the development, stability, and evolution of shell gravel habitats along a latitudinal gradient on the Pacific coast of North America. The project aims to assess the coevolution of benthic invertebrate communities and shell gravel habitats, quantifying processes such as shell accumulation rates, community-substrate...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $109,866 to the University of North Texas to conduct a multi-proxy study to discriminate between marine and terrestrial sediments in coastal wetlands. The research aims to improve understanding of the relative contributions of marine and terrestrial sources to compound flooding events caused by hurricane impacts, which have intensified due to climate change. The study will employ...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $212,201 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Alabama for a collaborative research project titled "Energetic Controls on Marine Benthic Community Structure in Space and Time." The project aims to: Evaluate how surface productivity affects the energetic and trophic structure of marine benthic communities on both sides of the modern Isthmus of Panama. Use this knowledge to assess the fossil record...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $192,083 project grant to the University of Texas at Austin for collaborative research titled "Behavior of Boron During Prograde Diagenesis and Metamorphism of Pelagic Sediments from the Nankai Trough." The two-year award runs from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2023 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The research will strengthen fundamental knowledge of integrated Earth system processes by examining boron behavior during the alteration...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will synthesize data on the role of coastal sediments in carbon and nutrient cycling along the East Coast of the United States. The $453,714 award to Trustees of Boston University, spanning April 2025 to March 2028, will combine sediment, water column, and modeling data to evaluate how environmental conditions influence benthic fluxes of carbon, oxygen, and nutrients in this relatively data-rich...
The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi a $330,818 Project Grant under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to acquire a portable geoprobe system with subsurface sampling, logging, and imaging capabilities. The two-year award period runs from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2023. The portable geoprobe system will enhance the university's geoscience research and education efforts by allowing researchers...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $533,300 provides funding from March 1, 2023 through February 28, 2026 to the University of Texas at Austin for research investigating links between physical surface processes, ocean oxygenation, and organic carbon burial during the establishment of the South Atlantic Ocean from 150-100 million years ago. The goal is to better understand how the opening of a major oceanic gateway affected depositional responses to local basin settings,...
