- This $422,265 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research project led by Oregon State University (OSU) to characterize the physiological and environmental cycling of abundant osmolytes in the ocean. The project aims to: 1) identify how different microbial taxa respond to nitrogen stress by producing distinct osmolytes, 2) measure rates of osmolyte assimilation and their metabolic fate, and 3) quantify osmolyte...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded Oregon State University $462,091 on September 1, 2026, for a Project Grant investigating the role of planktic foraminifera in marine snow formation and ocean carbon export under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The research combines laboratory experiments, field-collected specimens from both U.S. coasts, and geochemical analyses to examine how planktic foraminifera aggregate particles, transform them, and release large...
- Oregon State University was awarded a three-year, $644,095 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences. The grant aims to directly determine and model the elemental stoichiometry of phytoplankton from the Oregon coast through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). This program supports basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences to strengthen the national scientific enterprise and increase understanding of the integrated Earth system. Under the...
