- This Project Grant award of $339,522 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to model reactive, density-driven groundwater flow and improve contaminant remediation methods. The goal is to develop more efficient, cost-effective, and ecologically friendly approaches for remediating polluted groundwater by leveraging natural fluid movement induced by density variations. The research will use laboratory experiments, mathematical...
- This $563,629 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project to assess global oxygen inventory, trends, and variability through the intercomparison of observation-based gridded datasets. The key objectives are to: 1) identify causes of disagreements between different gridded oxygen datasets by conducting an intercomparison of oxygen data from in situ observational and model-based profiles, and 2) promote...
- Pepperdine University received a $400,880 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Biological Infrastructure under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct scientific research characterizing the effects of submarine groundwater discharge on coastal primary productivity and coral reef community composition in Maunalua Bay, Hawaii from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The University will quantify nutrient inputs from land-based sources into...
- This $521,796 National Science Foundation project grant through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research at San Diego State University Foundation from April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2026. The research will investigate how changing ocean conditions like ocean acidification and nutrient pollution affect the growth and survival of eelgrass, a foundational species that provides valuable ecosystem services. Researchers will examine how these stressors interact with local...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences (CFDA 47.050 - Geosciences) provides $1,444,777 from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026 to the University of Georgia Research Foundation to conduct research on the relationship between fine-scale water column structure, particle aggregations, and gelatinous-dominated food webs in subtropical continental shelf environments. The research is taking place in the South Atlantic Bight and Northern Gulf...
- This $396,079 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) aims to investigate how bacteria and biofilm growth in river sediments regulate the formation of low-oxygen microzones that produce the potent greenhouse gas nitrous oxide. The University of California, Davis (UC Davis) will perform sediment column experiments, microfluidic studies, and numerical simulations to characterize the spatio-temporal dynamics of these anoxic microzones and...
- 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 Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides $299,431 to the University of Southern Mississippi to investigate the role of submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) in contributing nutrients and driving hypoxia in the Mississippi Bight coastal system. The project will establish new monitoring platforms and analytical workflows to quantify SGD rates, assess nutrient fluxes, and analyze the relationship between SGD and hypoxic conditions using radioisotopic tracers. The work will be conducted in collaboration with the University of Alabama and aims to expand understanding of SGD's influence on aquatic chemistry, contribute to predictive frameworks for nutrient-driven oxygen dynamics, and inform strategies to mitigate coastal algae blooms. The project will also strengthen STEM workforce development by equipping students with hands-on experience and engaging stakeholders concerned with coastal ecosystem health. The award period is from January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2027.
