Project Grant 2524676
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $184,226 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Rowan University to conduct collaborative research on the role of benthic nepheloid layers (BNLs) in altering benthic fluxes of trace elements in the Labrador Sea. The project aims to generate a deeper understanding of how BNLs, which are persistent layers of enhanced particle concentrations near the seafloor, influence the cycling and overall budget of sediment-sourced trace...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will provide $445,830 to Louisiana State University to conduct collaborative research on the role of benthic nepheloid layers (BNLs) in altering benthic fluxes of trace elements in the Labrador Sea. The key objectives of this 3-year project are to: (1) determine the benthic flux of trace elements from sediments in the Labrador Sea; (2) assess how BNLs modify the net benthic fluxes of these...
- This $552,775 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to investigate benthic iron fluxes in the Labrador Sea, an important region of deep-water formation. The project aims to identify and quantify iron sources from ocean sediments to the overlying surface waters, which can influence the biological carbon pump in this high-latitude region. The research team from Florida State University will collect sediment and pore water...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded $890,902 to the University of Washington under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) federal grant program to support collaborative research investigating bubble-mediated gas exchange in the Labrador Sea. The award period is from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2025. Under this Project Grant, researchers will conduct an observational study during an expedition to the Labrador Sea in fall 2023 to measure bubble-mediated air-sea...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) is focused on investigating benthic iron fluxes in the Labrador Sea, a critical region for deep-water formation and biological carbon cycling. The $134,212 award to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will support research to identify and quantify iron sources from ocean sediments to the overlying waters, using sediment sampling, pore water analysis, and numerical ocean circulation modeling....
- This Project Grant award for $453,714 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) is funding a collaborative research project titled "ULTRA-DATA: Synthesizing the Role of Shallow Benthic Fluxes in Coastal Carbon Cycle along the East Coast of the United States". The project, led by Trustees of Boston University, aims to gather and synthesize observational and modeling data on the role of coastal seafloor sediments in influencing the regional carbon cycle and...
- This federal Project Grant award of $451,779 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project to measure the East Greenland Coastal Current on the Northeast Greenland Shelf. The project aims to determine how much fresh, low-salinity water is carried from the Arctic Ocean into the North Atlantic and how this transport may vary as the Greenland and Arctic ice sheets melt. To achieve this, the award will fund the deployment of an...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences provides $934,762 to Oregon State University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) from July 15, 2022 to June 30, 2025. The funding supports collaborative research to better understand the geochemistry of neodymium isotopes and rare earth elements in the North Atlantic Ocean and their influence on deep water circulation patterns. The researchers hypothesize that ocean sediments are a major source of...
- This $194,910 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund collaborative research to advance understanding of trace element biogeochemistry in the Amundsen Sea region of West Antarctica. Rutgers, The State University will analyze approximately 500 suspended particle and sediment samples collected during the NSF's GEOTRACES GP17-ANT cruise to quantify distributions of 40 trace elements. The investigators will...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to investigate the interactions between internal waves and submesoscale currents in the ocean's bottom boundary layer. The total award is $418,382 over a period of 3 years, from June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2027. The research will combine theoretical concepts, analyses of existing measurements, and computer modeling to assess how these wave-current interactions affect mixing and...
This Project Grant award, totaling $261,861.00, is funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050). The grant supports a collaborative research project led by the University of Washington that aims to improve understanding of how benthic nepheloid layers (BNLs) - persistent layers of enhanced particle concentrations near the seafloor - influence the cycling and budgets of trace elements and isotopes in the Labrador Sea. The key objectives are to: (1) quantify benthic fluxes of trace elements and isotopes from sediments, (2) determine how BNLs modify these net benthic fluxes, and (3) identify the BNL characteristics that most impact trace element concentrations. The project will conduct high-resolution sampling of particle composition and isotopes in BNL particles and surface sediments, with the overarching goal of generating process-level understanding of how BNLs alter the net flux of trace elements and isotopes into the overlying water column. The award period spans from January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2028.
