The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is offering this grant to develop innovative field-based methods for detecting and quantifying methane ebullition in remote Alaskan wetlands. The primary goal is to establish a research element focused on testing and deploying new techniques. This initiative requires a multi-faceted approach, integrating laboratory analysis, computer modeling, and extensive field-based research. Resources like staff, students, and specialized lab/field testing areas will be utilized. A key aspect involves a collaborative partnership where a home institution will develop and refine methods before deploying them to remote Alaskan sites under USGS invitation. Required expertise includes gas chemistry, temperature, moisture, dissolved gas, and automated time-series data, alongside methods for bubble detection considering environmental conditions.

| Description: | The USGS is offering a funding opportunity for a research on the development of field-based methods for detecting and quantifying methane ebullition in wetlands. Goals of this research objective include the establishment of a research element to develop and test a method for quantifying methane ebullition in remote locations in Alaska. Laboratory, computer modeling, and field-based approaches will be required. Resources to be used for this effort include staff, students, laboratories, and convenient field-lab testing areas where such methods can be developed in an efficient manner before being deployed to remote locations in Alaska. A partnership will be established in which methods will be developed and tested at the home institution and then deployed to remote locations at the invitation of the USGS. The home institution will require field and lab equipment designed to measure gas chemistry; temperature and moisture content; dissolved gas chemistry; time series of gas measurements that are automated; and methods for detecting bubbles and their composition in context of water, heat, and plant conditions. |
