Collaborative Research: Deciphering the mechanisms of marine nitrous oxide cycling using s — NSF Award to University of Massachuse

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a powerful greenhouse gas, and a driver of ozone depletion in the stratosphere. Marine low-oxygen regions are important for N2O cycling and are a large source of N2O to the atmosphere. The Arabian Sea in the northwest Indian Ocean hosts one of the world’s largest low-oxygen zones, but it is less

AbstractNitrous oxide (N2O) is a powerful greenhouse gas, and a driver of ozone depletion in the stratosphere. Marine low-oxygen regions are important for N2O cycling and are a large source of N2O to the atmosphere. The Arabian Sea in the northwest Indian Ocean hosts one of the world’s largest low-oxygen zones, but it is less well-studied than other regions. In partnership with other researchers in the U.S. and India, this team will combine geochemical and microbial ecology approaches to study N2O cycli
