This Project Grant award of $924,137 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research by the Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences to develop new modeling approaches to understand and predict the impacts of climate change on the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale. The key products/services to be delivered include: Developing an individual movement model to identify prey density thresholds that drive right whale foraging decisions...
This $137,133 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports collaborative research by the University of California, Merced and the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The research aims to reconstruct the interactions and dynamics of ancient marine ecosystems, focusing on the evolution of large marine organisms like baleen whales during periods of climate change and resource exploitation. The project will...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant in the amount of $376,582 awarded to Florida International University (FIU) will support a collaborative international research effort titled "WHALEADAPT: Adaptation of Vulnerable Subsistence-Based North Atlantic Communities to Marine Mammal Redistribution under Climate Change." The project aims to investigate the past, present, and future distribution and abundance of North Atlantic toothed...
This $329,446 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to understand how ocean physics and animal social behaviors interact to drive predator-prey aggregations in the pelagic ocean. The project will focus on endangered blue whales and their krill prey, leveraging recent high-resolution observations of their behavior and physical oceanographic dynamics, as well as biophysical and evolutionary simulations. The...
This $753,082 three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution to understand how behavioral adaptations in foraging effort by wandering albatrosses and black-browed albatrosses may mitigate population declines due to climate change. The grant funds development of eco-evolutionary matrix population models incorporating climate scenarios to forecast population trends and persistence...
This $170,879 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports a research project led by the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The project aims to examine how oceanographic variables may influence the distribution and habitat preferences of various cetacean species (whales, dolphins, and porpoises) around the South Shetland Islands from 2014 to 2016. The research will utilize previously collected passive...
This $358,499 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research to understand the impact of warming on the structure and function of marine communities in the Northwest Atlantic Shelf region, including the Gulf of Maine and Mid-Atlantic Bight. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, through its Office of Sponsored Research, will characterize the composition and features of plankton and fish...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) focuses on understanding how changing environmental conditions, particularly rising ocean temperatures, will impact marine ecosystems and the availability of marine resources. The $738,152 award, effective June 1, 2025 through May 31, 2030, supports an integrated approach that combines physiological assays, community-level experiments, and numerical modeling to forecast the effects of temperature on...
This $1,459,347 Project Grant award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Unallied Science Program (CFDA 11.472) will fund a three-year effort by the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries (MA DMF) and the Center for Coastal Studies (CCS) to manage, protect, and recover North Atlantic right whales in Massachusetts state waters and adjacent areas. Key activities include aerial and shipboard surveys to monitor right whale distribution and abundance,...
This three-year, $337,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund the development of zooplankton distribution models for the Antarctic Peninsula through machine learning techniques. The award recipients, the University of California Santa Cruz, will analyze long-term survey data from the Palmer Long-Term Ecological Research program to generate functional relationships between five key zooplankton species distributions and environmental...
