The University of Washington received a $319,295 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences on December 1, 2021 to support research understanding substrate mobility as a disturbance in hard rock marine communities. The grant-funded research is being conducted under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences to strengthen the national scientific enterprise.
Specifically, the University of Washington will conduct field and laboratory research from December 2021 through March 2024 in Friday Harbor, Washington. The research aims to advance fundamental knowledge of how the movement of rock and sediment substrates impacts hard-rock marine communities. Insights gained from this NSF-funded study could enhance understanding of the integrated earth system processes that influence ocean environments and their inhabitants.
