This $288,017 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at the University of California, Santa Barbara to understand macroalgal community structure through a trait-based and phylogenetic approach. The two-year project will measure functional traits of key algae species in giant kelp beds off the Pacific Coast that affect performance related to resource acquisition, grazer resistance, and disturbance tolerance. Assigning algae to functional groups based on traits will enable...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $831,969 provides funding over three years from September 2022 through August 2025 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to link species traits to marine ecosystem functioning. Principal investigators at the University of California Irvine, supported through funding from the NSF Division of Ocean Sciences, will characterize functional traits of seaweed species along environmental gradients on rocky shorelines in the U.S. and Europe....
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $524,000 will support the development of network-based models to evaluate functional biodiversity responses to climate change and species invasions in marine biological communities. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), this award reflects NSF's mission to promote biological sciences research and strengthen the scientific enterprise. Specifically, researchers at the University of California, Davis will leverage long-term...
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...
This $112,243 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research project between the University of California - Merced and the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The project aims to reconstruct and analyze the dynamics of historical and paleo-ecosystems, with a focus on understanding how marine communities have responded to climate change and resource exploitation over time, particularly...
This three-year, $623,934 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research on the physiological controls of trait expression, nutrient allocation, and elemental stoichiometry in the phytoplankton Synechococcus. The awardee, University of California Irvine, will conduct continuous culture experiments with common phytoplankton strains under varying nutrient supply ratios, temperature, and growth conditions. Biochemical...
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 $406,274 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research examining submesoscale frontal dynamics and exchange processes in San Luis Obispo Bay, California. The University of California Santa Cruz will conduct high-resolution measurements of turbulent mixing using ship surveys, moorings, and hydrographic profiling to study how persistent thermal fronts are generated and dissipated downstream of...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) a $652,262 Project Grant through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on how microbial symbionts protect eelgrass from the impacts of thermal stress associated with global climate change. The research aims to: (1) assess the assembly and function of the eelgrass microbiome under ambient and elevated temperature conditions, (2) determine how...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems provides $1.6 million to support research under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) from August 2021 through July 2024. The grant funds the development of new molecular genetic tools by the J. Craig Venter Institute to define phenotypes in the diatom Pseudo-nitzschia, which can cause harmful algal blooms. Two subawards totaling $100,000 each were provided to the University of...
