The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $130,123 Project Grant to the University of Wisconsin System at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, with a project period from November 1, 2023 to October 31, 2027. The funding supports collaborative research to develop a comprehensive model of year-round ecosystem function in seasonally frozen lakes, addressing the "winter knowledge gap" in understanding how changing winter conditions impact lake...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the Regents of the University of Michigan in the amount of $519,517 for the period of January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026. The project aims to advance the understanding of interannual variability and extreme events in the thermal structure of large lakes, specifically the North American Great Lakes, under historical and future climate scenarios. Key objectives include:
Investigating...
This five-year, $554,014 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into phytoplankton communities and ecosystem function in freshwater lakes. Funded through NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the goal is to describe a disturbance phenology framework to predict feedbacks and threshold shifts for lake ecosystem function across spatial and temporal scales.
The University of Vermont will conduct experiments in laboratories, outdoor mesocosms, and five lakes across...
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 $671,535 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research examining the recovery trajectories of prey communities after the removal of non-native predator species, such as fish, from mountain lakes in the Sierra Nevada region of California.
The key objectives are to elucidate the connections between taxonomic and functional recovery of these ecosystems, identify indicators of community vulnerability based on...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $538,496 supports research into the interactions between population and ecosystem dynamics that drive high-amplitude fluctuations in midge abundances in Lake Myvatn, Iceland. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the research will be conducted over five years from February 2022 through January 2027 by the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
The project builds on existing long-term data collection in Lake Myvatn to...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded the University of California, Davis a $605,073 Project Grant under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) federal grant program to conduct research on the effects of environmental change on microbial self-organized patterns in Antarctic lakes. The 3-year project, running from March 2024 to February 2027, will advance understanding of the spatial structure and relationships of benthic microbial communities in Lake Vanda, Antarctica, and how they respond...
