The award will fund research from August 2021 through July 2024 to study the environmental consequences of expanded recruitment of an ecosystem engineer on a hypoxia-influenced continental shelf. The Geosciences program supports basic research to strengthen understanding of Earth's integrated systems through atmospheric,...
Oregon State University was awarded a three-year, $452,842 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund collaborative research examining tradeoffs between phenology and geography constraints in species' responses to climate change across life cycles. As part of its mission to strengthen the national science enterprise through expanded fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system, the NSF...
Oregon State University will receive $107,358 under a Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences' Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to host a Research Experiences for Undergraduates site program from April 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023. As part of the program, ten undergraduate interns will be mentored by Oregon State University faculty in ocean ecology, biogeochemistry, physical oceanography, and marine geology and geophysics research. Interns will have...
Oregon State University was awarded a $104,268 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund collaborative research between U.S. and U.K. researchers to use time-series field observations from the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study region to constrain an ocean iron model. Leveraging known seasonal physical, chemical, and biological changes in the study region and existing models...
Oregon State University was awarded a $612,636 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences on June 15, 2021, with a completion date of May 31, 2024. The award will support collaborative research titled "Mixing and the Meridional Overturning Circulation in the Modern and Glacial Ocean" under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The Geosciences program seeks to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of Earth's integrated system through basic...
This $422,265 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research project led by Oregon State University (OSU) to characterize the physiological and environmental cycling of abundant osmolytes in the ocean. The project aims to: 1) identify how different microbial taxa respond to nitrogen stress by producing distinct osmolytes, 2) measure rates of osmolyte assimilation and their metabolic fate, and 3) quantify osmolyte...
Oregon State University was awarded a $597,545 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems. The grant falls under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which supports basic biological research to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise and increase understanding of major problems.
