This National Science Foundation project grant of $298,357 supports research investigating coral demographic processes and their interaction with climate change and local stressors to influence coral recovery trajectories. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will support analysis of time series coral size-frequency data across four Pacific regions to assess demographic rates following bleaching events and evaluate their importance in driving recovery dynamics....
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to investigate the movement of key elements such as carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus through coral reef fish communities in Belize. The $672,065 grant awarded on September 1, 2024 will fund research to uncover the origin and flow of these vital elements, as well as reveal relationships between benthic structural complexity and elemental fluxes across different spatial scales. The project...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $715,774 to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to conduct field experiments and research on the ecological resilience of tropical coral reef communities. The research aims to evaluate how the sequence of human impacts, such as overfishing, nutrient pollution, and sedimentation, may erode the resilience of short algal turf communities and drive the emergence of alternative...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $252,096 Project Grant to the University of Texas at Austin under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research quantifying energy fluxes on coral reefs from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2024. The research will combine emerging technologies to examine how characteristics of small coral reef patches such as temperature, wave energy, architecture, and cryptic species assemblages shape reliance on different organisms to sustain larger reef fishes....
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) in the amount of $316,457 will support a postdoctoral research project at Stanford University to investigate the drivers of community stability and resilience in coral reef ecosystems. The research aims to enhance understanding of how spatial variation in environmental conditions and larval connectivity can promote the persistence and recovery of coral communities on tropical islands in the...
This $282,231 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research into the ecological role of dead corals in ecosystem resilience and recovery from disturbance. The University of Florida will lead the five-year research program exploring how the physical structures left behind by dead corals influence patterns of biodiversity, ecosystem functions, and trajectories following shifts in habitat-forming species composition. Specifically, the...
This $127,149 National Science Foundation Project Grant through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund facility improvements and research at the Central Caribbean Marine Institute, Inc. (CCMI) in the Cayman Islands. The award will leverage CCMI's 22-year record of coral reef research by establishing infrastructure for experiments on the physiological and molecular mechanisms driving coral reef resilience. Specifically, the funding will develop an outdoor mesocosm facility to...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research examining how chemical interactions between coral reef organisms, including corals, macroalgae, and encrusting algae, contribute to the success and biodiversity of economically important coral reef ecosystems. The $1,309,859 award to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution aims to advance the understanding of contact-free, chemically-based interactions between benthic organisms on...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) is funding a $783,165 research project titled "The Role of Diel Thermal Variability on Coral Performance" at Boston University. The project aims to understand how differences in diel thermal variability (DTV) influence the plasticity of coral thermal physiology and molecular function, focusing on the coral species Siderastrea siderea across sites in Bocas del Toro, Panama. The key...
This $331,500 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences' project to assess the potential of artificial upwelling to mitigate coral bleaching during heat waves. The project will substantially improve understanding of how artificial upwelling could be used to mitigate coral bleaching during periods of thermal stress by investigating the effects of different upwelling scenarios (varying depths and pulse...
