The researchers from the University of Washington and Dartmouth College will utilize a multidisciplinary and multiscale approach, including...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) in the amount of $947,553.00, with a performance period from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2030. This grant will fund the development of a robust, open-source toolkit for studying microfossil fish teeth and shark scales (ichthyoliths) found in deep-sea sediments. The toolkit will leverage modern fish biology, machine learning, and...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a three-year collaborative research project to investigate the Late Ordovician mass extinction event. The $310,891 grant, awarded on August 1, 2024, will support field investigations on Anticosti Island, Canada, as well as global phylogenetic and biogeographic analyses of fossil organisms such as crinoids and trilobites. The research aims to document patterns of extinction, biogeographic change,...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $932,086 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to the Regents of the University of Michigan. This collaborative research project will use ancient DNA approaches to reconstruct the environmental impacts on coral reefs. Specifically, the researchers will measure the chemistry of coral skeletons and analyze the preserved DNA to understand how corals and their microbes respond to changes in the reef...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) awarded Bucknell University a $131,757 project grant to conduct collaborative research on the environmental and paleobiological effects of late Devonian climate extremes in the Appalachian Basin. The 3-year project, running from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028, will collect and analyze rock and fossil samples to test links between environmental conditions and vertebrate habitats during the late Devonian period ~360...
- This Project Grant award of $143,870 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project at Lycoming College to study the late Devonian period, approximately 360 million years ago. The project aims to examine the links between environmental extremes, such as glaciation, and vertebrate habitats during this time period by collecting and analyzing data from rock and fossil samples. The research will advance the understanding of...
- This is a Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) in the amount of $370,635. The award will fund research to characterize the effects of heat, low oxygen, and their combination on a reef-building coral across different life history stages, from larvae to adult. The research will be conducted at a coral reef site in Bermuda, with the goal of improving understanding of how corals respond to environmental stressors and informing...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $252,096 Project Grant to the University of Texas at Austin under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research quantifying energy fluxes on coral reefs from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2024. The research will combine emerging technologies to examine how characteristics of small coral reef patches such as temperature, wave energy, architecture, and cryptic species assemblages shape reliance on different organisms to sustain larger reef fishes....
