This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) provides $200,249 to the University of Georgia Research Foundation (UGA Research Foundation) from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026. The funding will support the development of a new seafloor sensor/sampler array and advanced control systems to better understand how tidal pumping and subsurface currents influence seafloor oxygenation and sedimentary...
This is a $1,038,533 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) to Savannah State University, a Historically Black College and University (HBCU) in Georgia. The project aims to quantify and characterize the distribution of micro- and nano-plastics in water, sediment, and biota within the Georgia Bight region. It will utilize drifters, water-tracking technology, and various analytical techniques like Raman spectroscopy and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $393,925 to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington (UNCW) to quantify the spatial and temporal patterns of biomass production, nutrient cycling, and predation by fish assemblages across six European large marine ecosystems. The project will integrate long-term fish monitoring data with bioenergetics modeling and statistical analysis to understand how environmental and human...
This $379,674 National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs project grant will fund research into mixotrophic grazing strategies of Antarctic plankton as a means to meet nutritional needs in iron- and manganese-deficient conditions of the Southern Ocean. The University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. will conduct culture studies of microalgal isolates from the Southern Ocean to measure growth responses, consumption behavior, and cellular changes in iron and manganese limitation....
This Project Grant award of $521,762 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to decipher the metabolic, functional, and taxonomic interactions within phytoplankton blooms in a dynamic coastal ecosystem. The primary awardee, Georgia Tech Research Corporation, will analyze a unique dataset capturing phytoplankton and bacterial communities before, during, and after bloom events. Using genomic methods, the research team will...
This three-year, $696,898 National Science Foundation project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: US GEOTRACES GP17-OCE: SIZE-FRACTIONATED PARTICLE COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS FROM ULTRA-OLIGOTROPHIC TO ANTARCTIC WATERS" led by the University of Georgia Research Foundation. The Foundation will conduct size-fractionated particle collection and analysis from ultra-oligotrophic to Antarctic waters to strengthen...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program Project Grant, awarded to Georgia Tech Research Corporation, will investigate the biogeochemical and physical processes regulating the benthic flux and speciation of iron from non-upwelling continental margins. The $880,688 award, effective October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2026, aims to quantify the flux of iron from sediments to the water column in the western North Atlantic Ocean and western Mediterranean Sea. The research team...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will provide $308,515 over the period of January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027 to the University of Rochester to conduct collaborative research on determining changes in pelagic ecosystem function and their impact on the carbon cycle from the Eocene to the Oligocene (~56-33.9 million years ago). The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: 1) reconstructing changes...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to investigate the interactions between internal waves and submesoscale currents in the ocean's bottom boundary layer. The total award is $418,382 over a period of 3 years, from June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2027. The research will combine theoretical concepts, analyses of existing measurements, and computer modeling to assess how these wave-current interactions affect mixing and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) is awarded to the University of Oregon for a 3-year collaborative research project to investigate the effects of microbial cell surface properties on predator-prey interactions in marine ecosystems. The total funding amount is $622,198, with the award period running from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027. The research examines how the surface characteristics of marine microorganisms influence...
