This three-year, $411,435 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research investigating how changing ocean conditions like ocean acidification and nutrient pollution affect eelgrass growth and survival. The principal investigators are examining how ocean acidification impacts ecological interactions between eelgrass and its epibiota under varying levels of nutrient stress and habitat complexity. Specifically, the research analyzes how...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will provide $200,000 to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (SUNY ESF) to conduct research on how changes in seawater carbonate chemistry, such as those caused by ocean acidification, impact shell formation in tropical marine bivalves. The 2-year project will characterize the relationships between various carbonate system parameters and shell formation processes in...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) is providing $543,159 to the University of California, Davis to conduct research on seagrass biogeochemistry and sedimentary alkalinity production in coastal carbon cycling. The research will quantify sediment alkalinity fluxes and investigate the biogeochemical processes controlling them across two contrasting seagrass ecosystems. This work aims to improve understanding of alkalinity and...
This $521,796 National Science Foundation project grant through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research at San Diego State University Foundation from April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2026. The research will investigate how changing ocean conditions like ocean acidification and nutrient pollution affect the growth and survival of eelgrass, a foundational species that provides valuable ecosystem services. Researchers will examine how these stressors interact with local...
This $1,599,937 National Science Foundation project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research at the University of California, Davis and Humboldt State University from July 2021 through June 2026. The grant funds ecological and social science research to develop a socio-environmental systems framework for informing coastal habitat restoration decisions under climate change. At UC Davis, the grant supports coordination of scuba diving research at multiple northern...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded $636,362 under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) federal grant program to the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California. The three-year project grant will support laboratory experiments and theoretical modeling to better understand the mechanisms and rates of calcium carbonate dissolution in seawater. Specifically, the principal investigators and graduate student will conduct controlled experiments varying saturation...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $802,309 project grant to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York, doing business as Stony Brook University, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). This grant will fund a 3-year research project to advance the understanding and quantitative modeling of how complex patterns of oxidation-reduction and acid-base reactions within the bioturbated zone of ocean sediments impact biogeochemical...
The University of Hawaii at Manoa was awarded a $352,057 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation on February 1, 2021 to complete the project by January 31, 2024. The project is titled "Carbonic Acid Dissociation and Calcite Solubility in Seawater of Non-Standard Major Ion Composition." This award will support research into carbonic acid dissociation and calcite solubility in seawater with non-standard major ion composition. The research directly aligns with the goals of...
The University of California Irvine was awarded a $492,382 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences. The grant falls under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the grant will fund research from December 2021 through November 2024 to predict impacts of coastal species redistribution in a changing climate....
This $716,649 National Science Foundation Project Grant through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at the University of Rhode Island to quantify changes in ocean acidification (OA) in Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island resulting from reductions in nutrient inputs. Over the past few decades, management agencies have reduced nutrient loads to coastal waters by over one-third to improve water quality, which could lower OA levels even though that was not the initial goal....
