This five-year, $554,014 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into phytoplankton communities and ecosystem function in freshwater lakes. Funded through NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the goal is to describe a disturbance phenology framework to predict feedbacks and threshold shifts for lake ecosystem function across spatial and temporal scales. The University of Vermont will conduct experiments in laboratories, outdoor mesocosms, and five lakes across a...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant in the amount of $300,000 was awarded to Michigan State University to investigate the complex interactions between human disturbances and natural features that impact U.S. lake ecosystems and harmful algal blooms. The key products and services to be delivered through this 2-year award include: Developing machine learning models to quantify the relationships between multiple human disturbances and their impacts...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Emerging Frontiers awarded a $2,076,344 Project Grant to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, doing business as Virginia Tech, for the "Collaborative Research: UROL:ASC: Applying Rules of Life to Forecast Emergent Behavior of Phytoplankton and Advance Water Quality Management" project. This project aims to develop an automated, real-time forecasting system to predict phytoplankton blooms in lakes and reservoirs,...
This $2.9 million project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Emerging Frontiers will fund research from 2023 to 2027 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). Oregon State University will lead a collaborative effort to study the resilience of freshwater ecosystems under changing climate conditions. Researchers will test how biodiversity and individual variation among species affect an ecosystem's ability to withstand environmental changes. They will conduct...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant award of $1,275,000 to the University of Virginia provides funding to conduct long-term research on how coastal environments are responding to environmental changes such as sea-level rise, warming temperatures, and changes in storms and rainfall. The research, to be performed at the Virginia Coast Reserve Long-Term Ecological Research (VCR LTER) site, aims to develop mechanistic models to predict how coastal...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $130,123 Project Grant to the University of Wisconsin System at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, with a project period from November 1, 2023 to October 31, 2027. The funding supports collaborative research to develop a comprehensive model of year-round ecosystem function in seasonally frozen lakes, addressing the "winter knowledge gap" in understanding how changing winter conditions impact lake...
This $567,340 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University to advance understanding of lake water quality dynamics across spatial scales using knowledge-guided machine learning. The research aims to develop Ecology-knowledge guided Machine Learning (Eco-KGML) models to improve predictions of water clarity,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award for $425,311 to the Carnegie Institution for Science supports collaborative research on how winter conditions affect the ecological function of seasonally-frozen lakes. The multi-year project (11/1/2023 - 10/31/2027) will develop a comprehensive, predictive model of year-round lake ecosystem dynamics by: Conducting detailed seasonal studies of water quality, plankton populations, food webs, and organic matter cycling in 12 lakes with...
This five-year, $1.58 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research by the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh to study the social and environmental drivers of toxic algal blooms in freshwater systems. The university will examine historical, socio-cultural, policy, and ecological factors contributing to algal blooms through partnerships with community organizations. Researchers will develop a predictive model to forecast...
This Project Grant award of $639,999.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research examining long-term changes in a reservoir ecosystem in response to shifting agricultural practices and nutrient inputs. The research, conducted by Miami University, explores how the use of conservation tillage on nearby farmland has affected sediment, nutrient, and fish populations in Acton Lake over the past several decades. Key objectives include...
