The National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences awarded $972,945 to the University of Delaware under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for a three-year project commencing July 1, 2026 and concluding June 30, 2029. This project will advance understanding of iron solubility in atmospheric aerosols and its impact on ocean productivity in the remote Pacific Ocean. The research team will collect aerosol and rainwater samples from the North and South Pacific during three U.S. Global Ocean Ship-based Hydrographic Investigations Program (GO-SHIP) oceanographic expeditions, employing source-specific analytical methods to investigate the relationship between iron solubility and water-soluble organic matter (WSOM) in aerosols originating from different geographic sources, including Asian dust, anthropogenic emissions, wildfire aerosols, and contributions from Australia and South America. The project delivers scientific research products including field data collection, laboratory analyses, and peer-reviewed publications documenting controls on soluble iron supply to the surface ocean. These outcomes will improve modeling of ocean iron bioavailability and support understanding of ocean productivity mechanisms that sustain marine ecosystems and economic activities. The award also provides educational benefits through graduate student training in fieldwork, laboratory analysis, data interpretation, and scientific communication, contributing to workforce development in oceanographic research.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
