This $212,172 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs aims to improve understanding of how different phytoplankton species affect carbon fluxes in the Southern Ocean. The researchers from the University of Washington will map phytoplankton community composition and characterize the physical environment to estimate how much carbon enters the ocean, is exported to the deep ocean, and the total amount of phytoplankton. By synthesizing modeled...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $734,947 to the University of Rhode Island to conduct collaborative research on the life cycle of phytoplankton blooms. The research aims to decipher the metabolic, functional, and taxonomic interactions within phytoplankton communities and their associated bacteria over the course of bloom events in a coastal ecosystem. Key deliverables include analyzing unique field samples and datasets...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant awarded under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research to understand the impacts of plastic-derived dissolved organic carbon (PDOC) on the ocean's biological carbon pump. The $665,899 award, effective April 1, 2025 through March 31, 2028, will fund a team from the University of New Hampshire to conduct laboratory experiments, field sampling, and numerical modeling to test the hypothesis that bacteria...
The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), awarded a $1,159,178 Project Grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to establish a year-round long-term observational program studying phytoplankton populations, hydrography, and nutrient concentrations in the waters around Kotzebue, Alaska. This community-based research effort will measure water column characteristics and phytoplankton at six sites during the ice-free season and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Polar Programs grant program (CFDA 47.078) supports a collaborative research effort to investigate how physical oceanographic processes, such as water circulation and mixing, shape the productivity of fjord ecosystems in Greenland. The $1,038,209 award, effective from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will fund field observations, computer modeling, and analysis to elucidate the linkages between physical transport...
This $908,131 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), supports research to better understand how changing phytoplankton elemental use efficiencies may impact global ocean biogeochemistry as temperatures rise. A team of U.S. and U.K. researchers, led by the University of Southern California, will conduct laboratory experiments and field work to quantify the effects of temperature on nutrient elemental use...
This $442,689 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research evaluating the contribution of small eukaryotes to nitrate-based new production in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. The grantees, led by the University of Connecticut Office of Sponsored Programs, will investigate how phytoplankton access subsurface nitrogen at Station ALOHA in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. Researchers will sort phytoplankton...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs awarded a $303,968 Project Grant to the University of Connecticut from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2025. The grant supports research to investigate the impacts of climate change and sea ice loss on phytoplankton blooms and carbon cycling in the West Antarctic Peninsula region. Key objectives include analyzing shifts in the seasonal timing (phenology) of phytoplankton, evaluating changes in phytoplankton community...
This $297,369 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research evaluating the contribution of small eukaryotes to nitrate-based new production in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. Over a three-year period ending November 2025, the University of Hawaii at Manoa will conduct laboratory and ship-based research to better understand how phytoplankton access subsurface nitrogen in surface waters during summer months. Researchers will sort phytoplankton...
This $320,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will be used by the University of Delaware to develop artificial intelligence (AI) methods for analyzing hyperspectral satellite imagery to characterize phytoplankton community dynamics in coastal ecosystems. The key objectives are to: 1) construct a large-scale database of phytoplankton observations to enable global data sharing; 2) build a phytoplankton community composition foundation model...
