This $112,704 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research examining the effects of Hurricane Ian's nutrient and organic matter inputs on coastal waters in southwest Florida. Specifically, the grantee Mote Marine Laboratory Inc. will measure a suite of carbon and nutrient parameters and conduct carbon and nutrient cycling assessments at stations in Charlotte Harbor and the adjacent inner West...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences Project Grant award of $262,393 to Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU) from July 15, 2023 to June 30, 2026 will support research to extend the hurricane record along the Southwest Florida coast by thousands of years. The project will analyze sediment cores from coastal "blue holes" to reconstruct the history of tropical cyclones in the region, resulting in a more robust understanding of the tropical cyclone frequency...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award, totaling $154,118, will fund research to investigate the role of land surface conditions in the maintenance of Hurricane Helene after it made landfall in Florida in September 2024. The researchers will examine precipitation, soil moisture, and land-atmosphere interactions to better understand the "brown ocean effect," where wet soil surfaces contribute to the continued strength of tropical...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $409,127 provides funding from March 1, 2023 through February 28, 2026 to support collaborative research on hurricane risk amplification and changing North Atlantic natural disasters. The award is made under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the funding will support research examining hurricanes...
This $480,149 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research effort between the University of South Florida and the University of Hawaii. The project aims to measure iron isotopes in seawater samples collected during three Pacific Ocean GEOTRACES expeditions. By combining these isotopic data with ocean biogeochemical modeling, the team will investigate the sources and cycling of iron, an essential micronutrient...
The University of Miami received a $481,510 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences on August 1, 2021 to complete work by July 31, 2024. The grant supports collaborative research titled "Isotopic Indicators for Mechanisms of Organic Matter Degradation under High Productivity and High Carbon Flux Conditions (EXPORTS)" through the agency's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The Geosciences program aims to strengthen understanding of the...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will fund a collaborative research project to investigate water mass transformation processes in the Caribbean Sea. The $260,071 award, effective from December 1, 2024 to November 30, 2027, will utilize autonomous underwater vehicle observations and regional ocean modeling to better understand the role of the Caribbean in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and its...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $701,663 to Florida State University to conduct collaborative research on the intensity and size relationship of tropical cyclones. The research aims to better understand this relationship through exploring how the inward radial loss rate of absolute angular momentum and effective absolute angular momentum values depend on environmental...
This $200,000 federal Project Grant was awarded on September 1, 2024 by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041). The grant supports research to assess the impact of hurricane-induced sewage overflows on the release of microplastics into surrounding waters. The primary awardee, Florida State University, will collect water samples from a watershed affected by Hurricane Debby in 2024 and compare them to non-impacted systems. State-of-the-art FTIR techniques...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant, awarded on December 15, 2024 for $170,598, will assess the impacts of Hurricane Milton on soil microbial communities in Florida. The research combines pre- and post-hurricane field surveys, microbial microcosm experiments, and metagenomic sequencing to evaluate how microbial community diversity and function are restructured by hurricane disturbance. The project aims to provide the first comprehensive...
