This $282,231 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research into the ecological role of dead corals in ecosystem resilience and recovery from disturbance. The University of Florida will lead the five-year research program exploring how the physical structures left behind by dead corals influence patterns of biodiversity, ecosystem functions, and trajectories following shifts in habitat-forming species composition. Specifically, the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $212,201 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Alabama for a collaborative research project titled "Energetic Controls on Marine Benthic Community Structure in Space and Time." The project aims to: Evaluate how surface productivity affects the energetic and trophic structure of marine benthic communities on both sides of the modern Isthmus of Panama. Use this knowledge to assess the fossil record...
This $308,515 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project to study changes in pelagic ecosystem function and their impact on the carbon cycle from the Eocene to Oligocene periods (56-33.9 million years ago). The project aims to reconstruct changes in the South Atlantic subtropical gyre ecosystem and determine how these changes affected carbonate production and preservation during a time of...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $104,601 Project Grant under its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (SUNY) at the Geneseo campus.
