- This $1,599,142 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research titled "DISES: Pathways and Constraints to Adaptation in Coastal Social-Environmental Systems" conducted by Stanford University from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2025. The grant funds research on adaptation challenges facing coastal communities in relation to environmental variability and change. Key activities include nearshore oceanographic monitoring,...
- 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...
- This $309,338 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a study of the impacts of coastal and marine resource shifts on local fishing communities. The principal investigators will track the relationships that emerge when new resource management policies and laws are implemented, and measure how communities adapt to these changes over time. The research aims to contribute to social...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences provides $336,517 to President and Fellows of Harvard College from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The funding supports collaborative research analyzing 150 years of sea surface and subsurface observations to map whole-ocean temperature and detect circulation changes. This work aligns with the goals of the Geosciences program under the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number 47.050. This CFDA...
- This $299,999 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports exploratory research to investigate the impacts of harmful algal blooms on Arctic populations and marine ecosystems in Greenland's Ilulissat/Disko Bay region. The research team, composed of experts in Arctic environmental science, social science, and medical professionals, will conduct interdisciplinary studies to expand knowledge on how these toxic algal blooms, driven by...
- This $598,958 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth to examine how parental exposure to predation risk under different resource conditions influences offspring prey fitness and scales up to impact population dynamics, community structure, and ecosystem function on rocky shores. The research aims to advance understanding of how intergenerational plasticity - when...
- This $879,520 National Science Foundation award through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds a collaborative research project examining the implications of rapid Arctic change for fisheries and fishing communities in the western North Atlantic. Led by the Gulf of Maine Research Institute, the project builds a network to develop a climate vulnerability assessment and predictive models evaluating how changes in the Arctic cryosphere and ocean circulation affect ecosystem and fishery...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $319,964 to Northeastern University aims to study how human engineering decisions and landscape changes over centuries have impacted coastal regions. The project uses novel modeling approaches, including agent-based, dynamical system, and participatory modeling, to understand how local-scale engineering interventions can lead to less geomorphologically stable delta landscapes compared to larger...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation supports collaborative research titled "Global Changes, Local Impacts: Study of Glacial Fjords, Ecosystems and Communities in Greenland" from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2026 with funding of $326,947. The research is conducted under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Trustees of...
This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $1,450,241 to President And Fellows Of Harvard College for research titled "DISES: Environmental Tipping Points of Cultural Identity Extinction in Integrated Human-Ecological Systems Represented by Small Fishing Nations." The grant supports examination of critical environmental thresholds that could lead to the loss of cultural identity through traditional whaling practices in the Faroe Islands. Research will analyze current and projected global releases of persistent ocean pollutants and their effects on exposures in the North Atlantic. The project will also evaluate governance strategies to identify and prevent cultural collapse in fishing communities due to degraded ocean resources. Two subawards totaling $375,000 are issued to Coastal Carolina University and the University of Washington. Coastal Carolina University will support fieldwork training students in the Faroe Islands and analyzing stakeholder interviews. The University of Washington will conduct policy analysis for collaborative decision-making and construct adaptable governance models. Findings aim to minimize risks to health and culture from global ocean pollutants through environmental releases guidance.
