This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology provides $532,164 to the Woodwell Climate Research Center Inc. to conduct research understanding the biophysical drivers of the methane source-sink transition in northern forests from November 1, 2022 to October 31, 2025. The research will examine how forest soil microbial communities respond to climate warming and identify conditions that could cause northern forests to switch from being a methane sink...
This $275,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) Project Grant award to Geofinancial Analytics Inc. in Sausalito, CA aims to develop a computationally efficient, tiered multi-satellite monitoring system that tracks daily-to-weekly methane emissions from oil and gas assets globally. The proposed system will integrate satellite observations, deep learning models, and statistical data aggregation to assess and benchmark company-level methane...
Arizona State University was awarded $479,978 under a Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology to conduct collaborative research understanding the biophysical drivers of the methane source-sink transition in northern forests. The research will be conducted at the Howland Research Forest in Maine, where researchers have been measuring methane fluctuations since 2012 and have found the forest usually serves as a methane sink but occasionally becomes a...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $289,629 will fund research on the hydrologic connection between permafrost plateaus and thaw bogs and its impact on methane emissions in Alaska. The award was made on February 15, 2022 under the NSF's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to investigate how water and nutrient flows from higher elevation permafrost plateaus into adjacent lower elevation wetlands may influence the amount of methane emitted from the wetlands. Specifically, the University...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs awarded a $293,820 Project Grant to the University of Texas at Austin to investigate the methane release from the flooding of Arctic permafrost and its impact on the carbon cycle, ocean chemistry, and climate change. The project aims to develop a systematic understanding of the coupled thermal, physical, chemical, and microbial evolution of the Arctic permafrost system in response to warming. It will compile relevant data and...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) provides $383,142 to examine methane emissions from savanna fires. The key objectives are to: 1) determine the factors that affect methane emissions from these fires, and 2) model how changes in land use and fire practices influence methane production. The research team plans to initiate experimental fires and use drone-mounted sensors to obtain precise...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $180,000 will fund research to quantify the hydrobiogeochemical controls on anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) and methane emissions in wetland hyporheic zones. The project, led by Dr. Samuel Shaheen in collaboration with Drs. G.-H. Crystal Ng and Cara Santelli at the University of Minnesota, will integrate field measurements, lab experiments, and modeling work to examine how microbial-scale...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084) totaling $649,975 aims to develop and demonstrate an innovative approach to monitoring methane emissions from livestock using advanced gravimetric microsensor technology.
The project is led by the Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, a non-profit marine research organization, and involves sub-awards to The William H Miner Agricultural Research...
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...
