About this award
The University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) was awarded an $730,877 research grant effective August 23, 2021, with an ultimate completion date of August 22, 2026. This civilian research grant, funded through a federal agency's Shared Services Center, supports scientific investigation into phytoplankton communities and their response to ocean warming. The research addresses how increasing ocean stratification due to climate change impacts phytoplankton composition, particularly the shift toward communities dominated by smaller cells, with implications for marine food webs and higher trophic level animals. The work will be performed in Fairbanks, Alaska, leveraging UAF's extensive capabilities as Alaska's flagship research institution and a land, sea, and space grant university. No set-aside designation was applied to this award.
As a child entity of the University of Alaska Systems, UAF brings substantial expertise in Arctic and sub-Arctic marine science research relevant to this phytoplankton investigation. The university's research portfolio includes significant federal funding from agencies such as the National Science Foundation, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the U.S. Geological Survey across climate science, marine biology, and environmental monitoring domains. This grant aligns with UAF's established focus on understanding climate change impacts on Arctic and marine ecosystems through interdisciplinary scientific research and supports the institution's commitment to addressing complex environmental challenges through innovative approaches.
