The National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation awarded a $1,499,986 Project Grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program. The grant will fund the development of an ecologically curious robot to monitor coral reef biodiversity from March 1, 2022 to February 28, 2025. The robot will autonomously explore coral reef ecosystems and collect data on species populations and interactions to advance...
This $339,337 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) supports research focused on advancing the monitoring and management of key infrastructural assets - floating structures in particular - through cutting-edge digital twinning technology. The research aims to develop digital twin frameworks tailored to overcome the challenges posed by unpredictable environmental forces like wind, waves, and currents that significantly...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.050 - Geosciences) provides $199,996 to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution to assess the abundance and extinction risk of two rare coral species using artificial intelligence (AI)-powered autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). The project will train AUVs equipped with AI to locate and quantify these corals, which are declining globally but occur at such low population densities that human divers cannot adequately...
The Coral Reef Research Foundation was awarded a $300,996 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The award, made on June 1, 2021 for a period of performance through May 31, 2022, will support the acquisition of a SMALL AERIAL BATHYMETRIC/TOPOGRAPHIC LIDAR SYSTEM FOR TROPICAL MARINE AND TERRESTRIAL RESEARCH. This system will allow the Foundation to conduct remote sensing research of coral...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $252,096 Project Grant to the University of Texas at Austin under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research quantifying energy fluxes on coral reefs from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2024. The research will combine emerging technologies to examine how characteristics of small coral reef patches such as temperature, wave energy, architecture, and cryptic species assemblages shape reliance on different organisms to sustain larger reef fishes....
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) Project Grant award of $301,769 aims to develop a novel modular construction technology to simultaneously provide shoreline protection and restore coral reef ecosystems. The awardee, Designer Ecosystems LLC, will test the feasibility of producing an engineered habitat support structure that can accelerate the recovery of degraded reefs by facilitating the self-organization of supporting ecosystems....
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $343,157 Project Grant through its Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. This 2-year grant, starting on September 1, 2023, aims to leverage advanced metabolomics techniques to characterize the chemical signatures associated with stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) across coral microhabitats and the surrounding seawater. The key products and services to be delivered under this project include: Applying...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $370,100 awarded to the University of Rhode Island from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2024 will fund research investigating the impacts of ocean warming on the symbiotic nutritional exchange between microbes and reef-building corals during early life stages. As part of the Geosciences program under the CFDA 47.050, the awardee will characterize the development of the coral-algal symbiosis across life histories in Hawaiian and French...
This $132,177 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) supports a research and educational program at Tulane University focused on studying the impacts of ocean warming and acidification on coral growth and calcification over the past century. The key products and services to be delivered under this 4-year award include: 1) Developing new tools and methods for analyzing coral growth rates from coral cores, 2) Building a...
This five-year, $3 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research at the University of Colorado Boulder, Cornell University, Florida Atlantic University, and the University of New Mexico to develop methods for understanding how the functioning and dynamics of complex ecological interaction networks emerge and respond to environmental change. The researchers will measure multivalent interactions among fish and other...
