This five-year, $1.58 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research by the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh to study the social and environmental drivers of toxic algal blooms in freshwater systems. The university will examine historical, socio-cultural, policy, and ecological factors contributing to algal blooms through partnerships with community organizations. Researchers will develop a predictive model to forecast...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant in the amount of $300,000 was awarded to Michigan State University to investigate the complex interactions between human disturbances and natural features that impact U.S. lake ecosystems and harmful algal blooms. The key products and services to be delivered through this 2-year award include: Developing machine learning models to quantify the relationships between multiple human disturbances and their impacts...
This five-year, $229,571 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research examining the impact of climate change on functional biodiversity in Lake Tanganyika, Africa. Led by Brown University, the project will use sedimentary records to model historical community structures and functions under different climate change scenarios. Researchers will assess open water and benthic communities using geochemical, fossil, and genomic tools....
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $399,132 project grant to the University of Virginia for a three-year collaborative research project titled "Whole Ecosystem Test of Restoring Resilience in Lakes". The goal of the project is to experimentally test methods for enhancing the resilience of lake ecosystems to algal blooms, which threaten drinking water, reduce tourism, and harm wildlife. The researchers will measure and evaluate the...
This $572,766 National Science Foundation project grant supports collaborative research to study the impact of climate change on functional biodiversity in Lake Tanganyika, Africa. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the University of Kentucky Research Foundation will lead efforts through September 2027 to examine how aquatic organisms and economically important fish populations have responded to historical changes in temperature and precipitation levels within large...
This five-year, $1,599,922 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program will fund research integrating cross-scale socio-ecological feedbacks in freshwater fisheries. Principal investigator Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University will examine interactions between social and ecological systems from local to regional scales. Indiana University will serve as a sub-awardee to assist with analyses. The grant began May 1, 2021 and...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program provides $153,529 to Miami University to conduct research on the impacts of increased dissolved organic matter on water quality and trophic status in oligotrophic lakes. The project aims to understand potential "regime shifts" and tipping points driven by lake deoxygenation and associated feedbacks over a period from January 2025 to December 2029. Key activities...
This five-year, $3 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research at the University of Colorado Boulder, Cornell University, Florida Atlantic University, and the University of New Mexico to develop methods for understanding how the functioning and dynamics of complex ecological interaction networks emerge and respond to environmental change. The researchers will measure multivalent interactions among fish and other...
This $137,528.00 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program focuses on collaborative research to study the past, present, and future climate of the Lake Victoria basin in Africa. The research team at Baylor University will use a nested climate modeling approach, coupling the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model with the Community Land Model (CLM), to investigate how changes in the size and climate of Lake Victoria impact weather patterns and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will quantify the temporal patterns and drivers of fish-mediated ecosystem functions, such as biomass production, nutrient cycling, and piscivory, across six European Large Marine Ecosystems over a 40-year period. The $393,925 award to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington will integrate fish monitoring data, bioenergetics modeling, and statistical inference to map the spatiotemporal...
