- This $299,920 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) will fund a research fellowship at the University of Hawaii at Manoa (UHM) to develop a state-of-the-art modeling framework for understanding and predicting saltwater intrusion in Hawaii's coastal aquifers. The project will engage an assistant professor and a graduate student in collaboration with researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The goal is...
- The National Science Foundation awarded Oregon State University a $513,499 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) on March 15, 2023 to complete the work by April 30, 2025. The grant will fund research investigating how groundwater discharge delivers important nutrients like dissolved organic nitrogen and iron to the coastal ecosystems of the West Florida Shelf. Oregon State University will sample offshore groundwater wells, river and estuarine waters, and conduct two...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides $299,431 to the University of Southern Mississippi to investigate the role of submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) in contributing nutrients and driving hypoxia in the Mississippi Bight coastal system. The project will establish new monitoring platforms and analytical workflows to quantify SGD rates, assess nutrient fluxes, and analyze the relationship between SGD and hypoxic...
- This Project Grant award in the amount of $502,819.00 was made by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program to Hawai'i Pacific University on August 15, 2025. The goal of this two-year project is to conduct an ecosystem-scale experiment to investigate how saltwater intrusion influences water chemistry, microbial communities, and methane dynamics in coastal wetlands in Hawaii. The research aims to better understand the mechanisms behind how...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $600,537 Project Grant to the University of South Florida (USF) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to investigate how groundwater discharge delivers important nutrients like dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) and iron to the coastal ecosystems of the West Florida Shelf. Motivated by preliminary observations, the research will quantify the flux and isotopic signatures of submarine groundwater discharge-derived DON and iron, evaluate their...
- This Project Grant award, totaling $364,678.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The funding will support a collaborative research project investigating how submarine groundwater discharge delivers dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) and iron to the coastal ecosystem of the West Florida Shelf. The research team, led by Texas A&M University, will quantify the flux and isotopic signatures of this groundwater-derived DON and iron,...
- This $548,713 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to understand the impacts of global warming and ocean acidification on Rocky Intertidal ecosystems. The project combines controlled laboratory studies, field experiments, and modeling to investigate how shifting environmental conditions and loss of foundation species affect ecosystem functioning in these communities. The research integrates opportunities for ecological and...
- This federal Project Grant award of $199,992.00 was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The project, titled "HYDROGEOLOGIC CONTROLS ON THE ACCUMULATION, TRANSPORT, AND DISCHARGE OF FECAL INDICATOR BACTERIA IN COASTAL BEACHES", will investigate how coastal hydrologic forces influence the movement and discharge of fecal indicator bacteria in beach aquifers. The research team will conduct...
- This $297,369 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research evaluating the contribution of small eukaryotes to nitrate-based new production in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. Over a three-year period ending November 2025, the University of Hawaii at Manoa will conduct laboratory and ship-based research to better understand how phytoplankton access subsurface nitrogen in surface waters during summer months. Researchers will sort phytoplankton...
- The University of Hawaii at Manoa was awarded a $912,167 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to characterize key components of biological carbon cycling in the Pacific Ocean through March 2026. Under the award, the university will use profiling floats equipped with oxygen and particulate carbon sensors to measure production and respiration rates across the Pacific Ocean on a daily basis and over all seasons. Ship-based measurements will also...
Pepperdine University received a $400,880 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Biological Infrastructure under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct scientific research characterizing the effects of submarine groundwater discharge on coastal primary productivity and coral reef community composition in Maunalua Bay, Hawaii from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The University will quantify nutrient inputs from land-based sources into the bay's nearshore coral reefs via discrete submarine groundwater discharge. Researchers will also measure the carbon uptake and productivity of primary producers on reefs with and without groundwater influence. The project aims to clarify the magnitude of submarine groundwater discharge effects on benthic and water column algal productivity on coral reefs through novel sensor and drone imaging methods. Outcomes will aid state management and nonprofit restoration efforts. The University will engage undergraduate and post-baccalaureate students, including underrepresented minorities, in the field-based research.
