The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $399,132 project grant to the University of Virginia for a three-year collaborative research project titled "Whole Ecosystem Test of Restoring Resilience in Lakes". The goal of the project is to experimentally test methods for enhancing the resilience of lake ecosystems to algal blooms, which threaten drinking water, reduce tourism, and harm wildlife. The researchers will measure and evaluate the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award for $425,311 to the Carnegie Institution for Science supports collaborative research on how winter conditions affect the ecological function of seasonally-frozen lakes. The multi-year project (11/1/2023 - 10/31/2027) will develop a comprehensive, predictive model of year-round lake ecosystem dynamics by: Conducting detailed seasonal studies of water quality, plankton populations, food webs, and organic matter cycling in 12 lakes with...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant in the amount of $300,000 was awarded to Michigan State University to investigate the complex interactions between human disturbances and natural features that impact U.S. lake ecosystems and harmful algal blooms. The key products and services to be delivered through this 2-year award include: Developing machine learning models to quantify the relationships between multiple human disturbances and their impacts...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $130,123 Project Grant to the University of Wisconsin System at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, with a project period from November 1, 2023 to October 31, 2027. The funding supports collaborative research to develop a comprehensive model of year-round ecosystem function in seasonally frozen lakes, addressing the "winter knowledge gap" in understanding how changing winter conditions impact lake...
This $2.9 million project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Emerging Frontiers will fund research from 2023 to 2027 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). Oregon State University will lead a collaborative effort to study the resilience of freshwater ecosystems under changing climate conditions. Researchers will test how biodiversity and individual variation among species affect an ecosystem's ability to withstand environmental changes. They will conduct...
This cooperative agreement award from the U.S. Geological Survey will fund a project providing $100,000 to the University of Vermont and State Agricultural College. The project aims to synthesize patterns and drivers of changes in lake zooplankton communities worldwide under the U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection program (CFDA 15.808). Over a two-year period, the university team will address questions about freshwater zooplankton dynamics on a global scale using their...
The University of Vermont & State Agricultural College (UVM) received a $298,981 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The grant will fund a collaborative research project to investigate how alpine plant communities in the Northeastern United States have responded to climate change over the past 13,000 years. Through a multi-faceted approach integrating paleoecology, community...
This $671,535 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research examining the recovery trajectories of prey communities after the removal of non-native predator species, such as fish, from mountain lakes in the Sierra Nevada region of California. The key objectives are to elucidate the connections between taxonomic and functional recovery of these ecosystems, identify indicators of community vulnerability based on...
This five-year, $229,571 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research examining the impact of climate change on functional biodiversity in Lake Tanganyika, Africa. Led by Brown University, the project will use sedimentary records to model historical community structures and functions under different climate change scenarios. Researchers will assess open water and benthic communities using geochemical, fossil, and genomic tools....
This $268,385 National Science Foundation project grant funds research at the University of Connecticut to study the impact of climate change on biodiversity in Lake Tanganyika, Africa. The university will use sedimentary records to model historical community structures and functions under different climate change scenarios. Genetic, geochemical and fossil tools will assess open water and benthic communities, and key organisms' physical and physiological responses. The results will help...
