The University of Rochester received a $235,644 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), effective October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2029. This collaborative research initiative will develop calibrated global data products by integrating optical particle detection methods with traditional geochemical sampling approaches to characterize particulate matter in seawater. The project addresses a critical gap in oceanographic monitoring by converting measurements from optical instruments—such as the Underwater Vision Profiler (UVP) and Biogeochemical (BGC) Argo autonomous platforms—into standardized geochemical parameters including particulate organic matter (POM), enabling high-resolution spatial and temporal mapping of ocean particle distributions worldwide. The research will produce deliverables that strengthen the scientific foundation for monitoring ocean conditions and marine resources by providing the biogeochemistry and ecology communities with validated methodologies to translate between optical and filter-based particle concentration data. Project staffing includes support for a postdoctoral researcher, graduate student, and undergraduate student researchers based at the Rochester, New York facility, positioning the award to advance both fundamental ocean science understanding and human capital development in marine particle research.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
