Project Grant 2307813
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $260,613 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution to study the mechanisms underlying the unusual high sensitivity of sand lances, a key forage fish species, to ocean warming and acidification. The research aims to elucidate the genetic basis and evolutionary potential for sand lances to adapt to climate change stressors. Key project objectives include: 1) assessing the CO2 sensitivity...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) grant, funded through the Biological Sciences Division's Organismal Responses to Climate Change program (CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences), provides $219,919 to Cornell University for a 3-year collaborative research project on the mechanisms underlying the unusual high CO2 sensitivity of sand lance, a key forage fish species in the Northwest Atlantic. The project aims to: 1) Rear sand lance offspring from wild spawners to late larval stages under varying CO2...
- 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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $119,948, with a start date of September 1, 2024 and an end date of August 31, 2027, supports research to investigate the impact of diatom-derived polyunsaturated aldehydes (PUAs) on the embryonic and larval development of ecologically and economically important forage fish species, Pacific herring and surf smelt, in the North Pacific ecosystem. The research team from the University of Maryland Center...
- The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth received a $304,351 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct research on "Collaborative Research: ORCC: Carryover Effects of Multiple Climate Change Stressors in Oysters: Mechanisms and Consequences Across Stages of Ontogeny." The research aims to experimentally test how early life exposure to ocean warming and low dissolved oxygen affects the Eastern Oyster's responses to...
- This $879,520 National Science Foundation award through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds a collaborative research project examining the implications of rapid Arctic change for fisheries and fishing communities in the western North Atlantic. Led by the Gulf of Maine Research Institute, the project builds a network to develop a climate vulnerability assessment and predictive models evaluating how changes in the Arctic cryosphere and ocean circulation affect ecosystem and fishery...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will quantify the temporal patterns and drivers of fish-mediated ecosystem functions, such as biomass production, nutrient cycling, and piscivory, across six European Large Marine Ecosystems over a 40-year period. The $393,925 award to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington will integrate fish monitoring data, bioenergetics modeling, and statistical inference to map the spatiotemporal...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $472,593 Project Grant to the University of Connecticut to expand the Silverside system to quantify how climate gradients determine co- and countergradient adaptation strength in the ocean. Under this NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the research team is examining genetic differences in growth rates, vertebral number, and mercury uptake among Chilean silverside fish populations from different latitudes to...
- This federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $400,267 to the University of Connecticut (UConn) to conduct collaborative research examining the intergenerational effects of predation risk and resource identity on rocky shore ecosystems. The project aims to investigate how parental exposure to predation risk under different resource conditions influences offspring fitness, and how these intergenerational plasticity effects scale...
- This $200,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to investigate the impact of changes in seawater carbonate chemistry, such as ocean acidification, on shell formation in tropical marine bivalves. The research will be conducted at the State University of New York, College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY ESF) and the University of Hawai'i, Hilo. The project aims to identify the specific carbonate...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $453,825 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Connecticut from August 15, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The project aims to investigate the unusual high sensitivity of sand lance fish embryos to ocean acidification and warming, which are direct consequences of climate change. Key objectives include: 1) testing the CO2 and temperature sensitivity of sand lance larvae, 2) using transcriptomic tools to elucidate the mechanisms causing impaired hatching under high CO2, 3) determining if the high CO2 sensitivity has a genetic basis that could evolve, and 4) extending the CO2 and temperature experiments to a related sand lance species to assess the wider concern within this forage fish family. This research will provide critical information to help anticipate and manage the impacts of climate change on marine ecosystems and fisheries.
