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 research...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $161,665 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the Old Dominion University Research Foundation (Odurf) to investigate the magnitude and drivers of cold-season water and carbon export in North Atlantic salt marshes. The project aims to (1) monitor soil temperatures, groundwater, and surface water levels, salinity, and temperature in four salt marshes between Massachusetts and Nova Scotia; (2) quantify groundwater discharge...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $410,518 three-year Project Grant to The University of Puget Sound under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research on aerobic methane production in ocean environments. The university will collaborate with scientists in the U.S. and Israel to study the microbial processes that produce methane through the degradation of organic compounds in the surface waters of the North Pacific and North Atlantic oceans. Researchers will measure methane...
This $1,038,171 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research into methane efflux from river-influenced coastal marine sediments in the Gulf of Mexico. The Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium will measure methane fluxes from coastal sediments into Gulf waters using an in situ lander to collect benthic flux measurements of oxygen and methane. Sediment microprofiles of oxygen and sulfide will also be analyzed. Naturally occurring...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $296,671 Project Grant to the University of Virginia to develop a novel approach for measuring greenhouse gas emissions from coastal marine ecosystems. The two-year award, made under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support the Principal Investigator's research combining upside-down aquatic eddy covariance measurements of oxygen fluxes at the air-water interface with new sensor technologies to extract greenhouse...
The University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. was awarded a $199,278 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to measure methane efflux from river influenced coastal marine sediments. Over a three year period ending in September 2025, the awardee will conduct fieldwork during two cruises off the southeastern coast of Louisiana to directly measure benthic fluxes of oxygen and methane using in situ...
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 awarded a $174,000 Project Grant to support research titled "EAR-PF SALINITY INFLUENCE ON METHANE EMISSIONS FROM TIDAL WETLANDS DETERMINED BY CLUMPED ISOTOPES." The two-year award began June 1, 2022 and will support work conducted in College Park, MD through May 31, 2024. The grant was awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean...
This $348,452 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The purpose of the grant is to conduct collaborative research on the controls of aerobic methane oxidation in deep-sea gas seeps. The project aims to use custom instrumentation to measure methane consumption rates and monitor microbial communities in response to varying oxygen concentrations and environmental conditions at offshore...
This $499,225 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research project between Old Dominion University Research Foundation and the United States Department of Geological Survey to decipher drivers and variability in salt marsh lateral carbon export. Over three years, the researchers will investigate how elevation within the tidal frame influences dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, and dissolved organic carbon export...
