This $358,499 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research to understand the impact of warming on the structure and function of marine communities in the Northwest Atlantic Shelf region, including the Gulf of Maine and Mid-Atlantic Bight. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, through its Office of Sponsored Research, will characterize the composition and features of plankton and fish...
This $753,082 three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution to understand how behavioral adaptations in foraging effort by wandering albatrosses and black-browed albatrosses may mitigate population declines due to climate change. The grant funds development of eco-evolutionary matrix population models incorporating climate scenarios to forecast population trends and persistence...
This three-year $632,382 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research to understand how behavioral adaptations in foraging effort by wandering albatrosses (Diomedea exulans) and black-browed albatrosses (Thalassarche melanophris) may mitigate population declines due to climate change. The awardee, the Regents of the University of Colorado, will assess linkages between climate change, body condition, foraging effort,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award of $700,944, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), aims to identify and map biological hotspots in the open ocean and the twilight zone (200-1000 m depth) using Northern elephant seals as ecosystem sentinels. The key products and services to be delivered under this 5-year project (Aug 2025 - Jul 2030) include: Identifying 3-dimensional biological hotspots in the open ocean - areas with high primary productivity that are critical...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $738,152 in funding to the University of Massachusetts to conduct research on understanding how marine life will respond to changing ocean conditions, particularly the effects of rising temperatures on predator-prey interactions. The key objectives of this 5-year project are to: 1) measure how temperature affects the physiology and relative thermal performance of native and invasive...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $415,682 to the California State University Long Beach Research Foundation to conduct research on the effects of ocean warming on a coastal fish species. The key objectives are to: 1) quantify genetic variation in temperature response, 2) determine if local adaptation to temperature exists, and 3) assess whether evolutionary changes can occur quickly enough to impact population...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) Project Grant award provides $666,910 to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York, doing business as Stony Brook University, to study the environmental drivers of giant petrel energetics and implications for population trends and predation pressure in the Southern Ocean. The project aims to develop a mechanistic model linking environmental variability in wind and sea ice with foraging energetics of giant...
This $879,520 National Science Foundation award through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds a collaborative research project examining the implications of rapid Arctic change for fisheries and fishing communities in the western North Atlantic. Led by the Gulf of Maine Research Institute, the project builds a network to develop a climate vulnerability assessment and predictive models evaluating how changes in the Arctic cryosphere and ocean circulation affect ecosystem and fishery...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $196,218 to The Regents of the University of California, Berkeley to investigate the effects of marine heatwaves on reproduction, larval transport, and recruitment in purple sea urchin metapopulations. The project aims to develop oceanographic models to predict larval dispersal patterns and conduct experiments on adult reproductive success. This research will advance the...
