- This $198,707 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to collect, test, and intercalibrate new trace metal consensus seawater samples. The primary objectives are to improve the quality and accuracy of seawater trace metal concentration data over the next decade through optimized methodologies and well-studied consensus samples that can be used to assess measurement accuracy. The award supports three research cruises to collect...
- 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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will investigate the photochemical breakdown of marine dissolved organic matter (DOM) and its impact on the global carbon cycle. The $683,778 award, valid from July 2023 to June 2026, will focus on studying the production rates and quantum yields of one and two-carbon photoproducts, such as carbon monoxide, dissolved inorganic carbon, formaldehyde, and...
- The University of California San Diego Scripps Institution of Oceanography (UCSD Scripps) was awarded a three-year, $516,316 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support the quality control of oceanic carbon dioxide (CO2) measurements through the preparation and distribution of reference materials. The NSF Geosciences program aims to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanded fundamental knowledge and understanding of...
- This Project Grant award of $569,435 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research at Northeastern University to investigate the impact of plastic-derived dissolved organic carbon (PDOC) on the ocean's biological carbon pump. The core hypothesis being tested is that bacteria consuming PDOC compete with phytoplankton for key nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus, reducing new production and the strength of the biological carbon pump,...
- This $419,968 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research effort to examine the biogeochemistry of dissolved organic sulfur (DOS) in the Pacific Ocean. The project aims to accurately quantify the DOS inventory across the Pacific, determine the specific compounds that comprise DOS, and investigate the critical roles DOS plays in oceanic and atmospheric processes. The research will utilize archived samples...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $371,107 project grant to the University System of New Hampshire to support the research project "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: WHAT CONTROLS THE MARINE REFRACTORY DOC RESERVOIR?" from July 15, 2021 through June 30, 2024. The grant funds basic research into the integrated earth system through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). Specifically, the collaborative research project seeks to expand understanding of the controls...
- This Project Grant award of $569,967 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and the University of Miami. The key objective is to use new tools to measure hydrogen, carbon, and nitrogen isotopes in marine particles in order to better understand the mechanisms and processes governing the formation, composition, and sinking of particulate organic matter (POM) into the deep ocean....
This Project Grant award, totaling $477,467, was provided by the Division of Ocean Sciences of the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS). The funding supports the preparation and distribution of Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) Consensus Reference Materials (CRMs) from 2025 to 2028. The project will produce and distribute over 11,000 vials of DOC CRMs collected from surface, mid-depth, and deep layers of the Florida Strait annually. These reference materials will be provided to over 300 laboratories in more than 50 countries, enabling high-quality data collection, consistent DOC measurements, and advancing global ocean observation. The project also distributes DOC-TN determination kits that include calibration and reference materials to build analytical capacity across the research community. Additionally, the award provides training for the next generation of DOC analysts.
