This three-year, $411,435 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research investigating how changing ocean conditions like ocean acidification and nutrient pollution affect eelgrass growth and survival. The principal investigators are examining how ocean acidification impacts ecological interactions between eelgrass and its epibiota under varying levels of nutrient stress and habitat complexity. Specifically, the research analyzes how...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) a $652,262 Project Grant through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on how microbial symbionts protect eelgrass from the impacts of thermal stress associated with global climate change. The research aims to: (1) assess the assembly and function of the eelgrass microbiome under ambient and elevated temperature conditions, (2) determine how...
This $1,599,937 National Science Foundation project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research at the University of California, Davis and Humboldt State University from July 2021 through June 2026. The grant funds ecological and social science research to develop a socio-environmental systems framework for informing coastal habitat restoration decisions under climate change. At UC Davis, the grant supports coordination of scuba diving research at multiple northern...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $334,904 to the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) from December 1, 2024 to November 30, 2026. The project will investigate how the increasing prevalence of weedy seagrass species affects community interactions and coastal ecosystem functioning, particularly the role of seagrass-bivalve interactions in driving organic and inorganic carbon cycling. Through large-scale field...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) is providing $543,159 to the University of California, Davis to conduct research on seagrass biogeochemistry and sedimentary alkalinity production in coastal carbon cycling. The research will quantify sediment alkalinity fluxes and investigate the biogeochemical processes controlling them across two contrasting seagrass ecosystems. This work aims to improve understanding of alkalinity and...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $831,969 provides funding over three years from September 2022 through August 2025 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to link species traits to marine ecosystem functioning. Principal investigators at the University of California Irvine, supported through funding from the NSF Division of Ocean Sciences, will characterize functional traits of seaweed species along environmental gradients on rocky shorelines in the U.S. and Europe....
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will quantify the temporal patterns (up to 40 years) of biomass production, nutrient cycling, and piscivory by fish assemblages across 800 spatial locations spanning six European large marine ecosystems. The $393,925 project will also measure the influences of environmental and human factors on these fish-mediated ecosystem functions across space and time by integrating standardized bottom...
This $300,753 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences will fund research into plant-fungal associations between seagrasses and marine fungi under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). Over a two-year period from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2024, the Regents of the University of California at Riverside will analyze publicly available data and conduct culture-dependent and -independent methods to characterize the phenotypic and functional diversity...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $548,713 to the University of Hawaii at Manoa to conduct research on predicting ecosystem metabolism in rocky intertidal communities in the context of warming and ocean acidification. The overarching objective is to understand how shifting environmental conditions and loss of foundation species affect ecosystem functioning in these systems. The 2-year project involves controlled...
This three-year, $564,168 National Science Foundation project grant supports research exploring the impacts of altered seawater chemistry on calcification and behavior in coastal invertebrates. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will allow the University of California, Davis to investigate the responses of mussels and snails to decoupled components of the seawater carbonate system. The research aims to disentangle the drivers influencing calcification and behavioral...
