- This Project Grant award of $343,716 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a postdoctoral research project at Trustees of Boston University to investigate sex-specific physiological differences in coral responses to climate change. The project aims to assess shifts in sex distributions and physiological trade-offs across marginal and non-marginal coral habitats by integrating field and mesocosm experiments with genomic tools. It will examine...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) is funding a $783,165 research project titled "The Role of Diel Thermal Variability on Coral Performance" at Boston University. The project aims to understand how differences in diel thermal variability (DTV) influence the plasticity of coral thermal physiology and molecular function, focusing on the coral species Siderastrea siderea across sites in Bocas del Toro, Panama. The key...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $370,100 awarded to the University of Rhode Island from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2024 will fund research investigating the impacts of ocean warming on the symbiotic nutritional exchange between microbes and reef-building corals during early life stages. As part of the Geosciences program under the CFDA 47.050, the awardee will characterize the development of the coral-algal symbiosis across life histories in Hawaiian and French...
