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...
This $192,702 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research at the University of Wyoming to study the impact of climate change on functional biodiversity in Lake Tanganyika, Africa. The research aims to track functional biodiversity lake-wide using Lake Tanganyika's high-resolution sedimentary record to establish a series of historical experiments. Researchers will integrate...
This $226,008 National Science Foundation project grant supports research on the impact of climate change on functional biodiversity in Lake Tanganyika, Africa. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), this five-year award to the University of Arizona will use sedimentary records to model historical community structures and functions under climate change scenarios. Researchers will assess open water and benthic communities using geochemical, fossil, and genomic tools to...
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 $337,359 National Science Foundation project grant to The University of Toledo will fund research into the impact of climate change on functional biodiversity in Lake Tanganyika, Africa. The research will study Lake Tanganyika's sedimentary record to track changes in open water and benthic community structures and functions under different climate change scenarios using geochemical, fossil, and genomic tools. It will assess the physical and physiological responses of key organisms to...
This $122,630 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research on the impact of climate change on functional biodiversity in Lake Tanganyika, Africa. The grantee, Indiana State University, will conduct a study using sedimentary records to track functional biodiversity lake-wide under different climate change scenarios. The project will assess open water and benthic community structures and functions through geochemical, fossil, and...
This $137,528.00 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program focuses on collaborative research to study the past, present, and future climate of the Lake Victoria basin in Africa. The research team at Baylor University will use a nested climate modeling approach, coupling the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model with the Community Land Model (CLM), to investigate how changes in the size and climate of Lake Victoria impact weather patterns and...
This five-year, $554,014 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into phytoplankton communities and ecosystem function in freshwater lakes. Funded through NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the goal is to describe a disturbance phenology framework to predict feedbacks and threshold shifts for lake ecosystem function across spatial and temporal scales. The University of Vermont will conduct experiments in laboratories, outdoor mesocosms, and five lakes across a...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $739,066 Project Grant to Duke University to examine how a model one-celled organism, Tetrahymena thermophila, adapts to changing temperatures. The funded research, part of NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), aims to resolve critical gaps in understanding how rapid global climate change may affect the evolution of protist growth rates and respiration, with potential implications for both climate change and public health. The 5-year...
This $197,022 two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research at Louisiana Tech University examining the effects of leaf diversity on aquatic insect colonizer diversity. The university researchers will manipulate the mixtures of dead tree leaves in artificial ponds to study how the diversity of tree species surrounding aquatic habitats affects aquatic biodiversity....
