Project Grant 2049673

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $345,186 to the University of Washington to investigate the impact of mesoscale eddies on deep-ocean dynamics and larval dispersal along mid-ocean ridges. The research aims to use a multi-scale numerical ocean model and observational data to simulate hydrodynamically mediated larval dispersal and its consequences for population connectivity and...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $582,954 to Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (TAMU-CC) to conduct an integrative investigation of dispersal plasticity using the clown anemonefish as a model system. The research objectives are to: 1) test the hypothesis that parents in high- and low-quality environments produce larvae with differences in morphology, behavior, physiology, and gene expression; 2) test the...

The University of Central Florida Board of Trustees Office of Research Division, doing business as UCF, has been awarded a $814,433 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program. The 3-year grant, effective July 1, 2024, supports collaborative research to resolve and predict dispersal patterns of marine larvae using population genetic models. The project team will apply isolation-by-distance theory to estimate mean parent-offspring dispersal distances for...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) is funding a collaborative research investigation into dispersal plasticity using the clown anemonefish as a model system. The total award amount is $1,599,823.00 over the project period from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027. The key research objectives are: 1) testing the hypothesis that parents in high- and low-quality environments will produce larvae with differences in morphology,...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $196,218 to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley, to conduct research on the effects of marine heatwaves on reproduction, larval transport, and recruitment in purple sea urchin metapopulations. The project aims to develop oceanographic models to predict dispersal of planktonic larvae, along with controlled experiments on adult...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $305,576.00 Project Grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution to study the influence of mesoscale eddies on deep-sea dynamics and larval connectivity along mid-ocean ridges. This research is funded through NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system. The project will utilize a multi-scale numerical ocean model in comparison with...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will examine the influence of mesoscale eddies on deep-sea dynamics and larval connectivity along mid-ocean ridges. The $311,553 award to the University of Delaware will utilize a multi-scale numerical ocean model and observational data on larval supply and colonization to simulate hydrodynamically mediated larval dispersal in the East Pacific Rise region over a 30-year period from...

This Cooperative Agreement award, provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CFDA 15.820) program, supports a $174,339 project to model the inland range shifts of coastal species in Oregon and Washington in response to sea level rise. The University of Washington, the prime awardee, will convene a working group to prioritize species, habitats, and systems for assessment, and then use coastal elevation data, sea level rise...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) grant, funded through the Biological Sciences Division's Organismal Responses to Climate Change program (CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences), provides $219,919 to Cornell University for a 3-year collaborative research project on the mechanisms underlying the unusual high CO2 sensitivity of sand lance, a key forage fish species in the Northwest Atlantic. The project aims to: 1) Rear sand lance offspring from wild spawners to late larval stages under varying CO2...

This $128,483 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Sea Grant Support program (CFDA 11.417) will fund a two-year project at the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The project aims to investigate how commercial fishing effort diversifies across fisheries in the U.S. Pacific and North Pacific regions in response to climate change. The research will focus on understanding diversification along...
