- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $123,550 awarded to the University of South Carolina, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports research to develop new modeling techniques to predict shifts in the foraging patterns and spatial distribution of the endangered North Atlantic right whale in response to climate change. The key products of this 3-year project include: An integrated modeling framework that combines whale movement data, prey surveys, and genetic...
- This $329,446 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to understand how ocean physics and animal social behaviors interact to drive predator-prey aggregations in the pelagic ocean. The project will focus on endangered blue whales and their krill prey, leveraging recent high-resolution observations of their behavior and physical oceanographic dynamics, as well as biophysical and evolutionary simulations. The...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049), supports collaborative research between the University of California - Merced and the University of Alaska Fairbanks to reconstruct the dynamics of ancient marine ecosystems. The $112,243 award, spanning May 2025 to August 2027, aims to uncover how marine communities have responded to climate change and resource exploitation in the past, focusing on the...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $508,536 to Syracuse University to study the feeding behavior and movement patterns of endangered North Atlantic right whales and sei whales in Massachusetts Bay and Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary. The project aims to collect data on whale feeding activities and prey distribution to better forecast high-risk foraging periods and locations, in order to alert vessels...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant in the amount of $376,582 awarded to Florida International University (FIU) will support a collaborative international research effort titled "WHALEADAPT: Adaptation of Vulnerable Subsistence-Based North Atlantic Communities to Marine Mammal Redistribution under Climate Change."

- This Project Grant award, worth $905,118, was provided by the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs under CFDA Program 47.078 to the University of Rhode Island Research Office. The funding will support a collaborative research project examining how the chemistry of fossil diatoms (a type of plankton) can be used as proxies to reconstruct past changes in ocean nutrients and biological productivity, which are linked to global climate change. The research will involve field...
- Oregon State University received a $285,338 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs to conduct research using passive acoustic monitoring of bowhead whales. The goal is to identify biotic and abiotic drivers and timing of migration. This work supports the goals of the NSF Polar Programs, which provides funding under Assistance Listing 47.078 to strengthen understanding of polar regions through expansion of fundamental knowledge. The two-year project...
