Project Grant 2222592
- This $263,129.00 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities establishes a long-term observational program to study phytoplankton populations, water characteristics, and nutrient concentrations in the coastal waters around Kotzebue, Alaska. The grant, funded under NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support year-round monitoring at multiple sites, including through the winter ice. The data collected will provide critical insights into...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), awarded a $1,159,178 Project Grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to establish a year-round long-term observational program studying phytoplankton populations, hydrography, and nutrient concentrations in the waters around Kotzebue, Alaska. This community-based research effort will measure water column characteristics and phytoplankton at six sites during the ice-free season and...
- This $1.79 million National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds research at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution from July 2022 through June 2025 to investigate mixotrophic algal contributions to copepod diet and reproduction in the Gulf of Maine. The award supports experiments to characterize the role of mixotrophic algae in mitigating deficiencies in phytoplankton food quality for copepod reproduction. Analysis of nutrient and fatty acid...
- This two-year, $250,811 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research examining the biogeochemical importance of marine particles in the northern Gulf of Alaska. The University of Alaska Fairbanks will investigate the mechanistic relationships between marine nutrient uptake, particle production, and export processes through field work, data analysis, and cross-site collaboration. Core efforts include collecting and integrating new...
- This three-year, $337,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund the development of zooplankton distribution models for the Antarctic Peninsula through machine learning techniques. The award recipients, the University of California Santa Cruz, will analyze long-term survey data from the Palmer Long-Term Ecological Research program to generate functional relationships between five key zooplankton species distributions and environmental...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides $221,015 to the University of New Hampshire from February 2022 to January 2024 to investigate changes in Arctic Ocean phytoplankton and track the vertical export of organic carbon they produce. Working with optical oceanography experts at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the University will analyze data from 2010-2021 field campaigns measuring inherent and apparent optical...
- The University of Alaska Fairbanks was awarded a $303,988 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct research titled "Collaborative Research: Predator Facilitation Across a Variable Marine Environment" from October 15, 2021 through September 30, 2024. The grant aims to promote progress in the biological sciences by increasing scientific knowledge and enhancing understanding...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) provides $272,659 to the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA) from March 2024 to February 2028 to conduct collaborative research on the relationships within the Peracarida, an extremely large and diverse group of crustacean animals. The central goal is to resolve the phylogenetic relationships within Peracarida in order to improve understanding of their vast...
- This $652,785 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to understand how copepod populations, which are vital to commercial fisheries, can evolve in response to climate change-driven salinity changes in coastal environments. The research team from The Ohio State University will examine the evolution of osmoregulatory functions and ion transporter genes in copepods to determine how they can adapt to rapid salinity...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Polar Programs grant program (CFDA 47.078) supports a collaborative research effort to investigate how physical oceanographic processes, such as water circulation and mixing, shape the productivity of fjord ecosystems in Greenland. The $1,038,209 award, effective from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will fund field observations, computer modeling, and analysis to elucidate the linkages between physical transport...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) totaling $335,949 will fund research on zooplankton populations in the Gulf of Alaska from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2025. The University of Alaska Fairbanks, as awardee, will characterize zooplankton species diversity, abundances, developmental stages, and physiology during winter and early spring using traditional and molecular methods. Key products include data on high abundances of copepod nauplii before increases in surface food resources, increasing species diversity between winter and spring, and dormancy responses in nauplii to food availability. Graduate and undergraduate students will gain research training. Broader impacts include public outreach through educational materials and events to increase understanding of plankton ecology.
