Federal Project Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences (Geosciences Program, CFDA 47.050) awarded $679,773 to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution for a three-year project (July 1, 2026–June 30, 2029) to investigate iodine cycling and redox transformations in the Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean. The project will deliver a comprehensive dataset of iodine chemistry measurements across the Pacific Ocean and employ ocean circulation and chemical modeling to test hypotheses regarding the roles of ocean dynamics, chemical reactions, and biological processes in controlling iodine concentration and speciation. Key research products include characterization of inorganic iodine species distribution, quantification of conservative transport versus local transformation processes, and determination of reaction rates and environmental sensitivities for redox transformations between iodine species. The project addresses the previously unrecognized "dark iodine" pool, which recent measurements suggest may increase total dissolved iodine concentrations by up to 40 percent above canonical values, fundamentally altering the marine iodine budget. Beyond scientific outputs, the project will generate workforce development products through training a postdoctoral researcher in mechanistic ocean modeling and an undergraduate student in redox chemistry and advanced analytical methods. This research directly supports the Geosciences program's mandate to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system, with findings applicable to understanding biological cycles, atmospheric iodine levels, ozone chemistry, and paleoceanographic reconstructions of past ocean oxygen conditions.
