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...
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 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...
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...
