Old Dominion University Research Foundation received a $632,896 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2029. This award supports fundamental research investigating how sunlight and marine microorganisms control the production and loss of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde in the surface ocean. The project employs an improved analytical approach to examine these low-molecular-weight (LMW) organic compounds, which are rapidly cycled through the ocean's dissolved organic carbon (DOC) pool and play critical roles in photochemical transformations, microbial cycling, and air-sea exchange processes. The primary deliverables include new scientific insights into ocean biogeochemistry and ocean-atmosphere connections through peer-reviewed research findings and datasets characterizing the cycling mechanisms of biologically labile aldehydes in marine environments. The project incorporates workforce development components through student training activities and public outreach initiatives that connect ocean carbon-cycle research to broader science education objectives, advancing NSF's mission to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanded fundamental knowledge of Earth's integrated systems.Federal Grant Award Summary
