- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $298,228 Project Grant to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) federal grant program. This two-year grant funds research to investigate how marine diatoms use proton-pumping rhodopsins as an alternative energy source under conditions of high light and low iron that hinder photosynthesis. The research aims to provide insight on how diatoms, which are responsible for a...
- This Project Grant award for $388,527, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports research on how salt affects the photodegradation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in aquatic ecosystems. The project, led by Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (TAMU-CC), will investigate the role of salt in photochemical reactions involving DOM, which plays key ecological roles in energy transfer, metal binding, and interactions with pollutants. Experiments...
