This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology, under CFDA Program 47.074 Biological Sciences, is providing $103,398 to Florida International University (FIU) to develop a novel seafloor sensor/sampler system and associated machine learning control systems. The goal is to better understand how tidal pumping and subsurface currents influence seafloor oxygenation and sedimentary carbon cycling. The project will provide mentoring and field...
This $466,244 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Directorate for Engineering (CFDA 47.041) supports research on Passive Localized Underwater Transiting Observing Systems (PLUTOS) at Portland State University in Oregon. The project aims to study the links between underwater sound and marine biology, using low-cost drifting autonomous loggers to detect and analyze the soundscape, environmental DNA, and other environmental data to provide insights into the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $249,988 Project Grant on October 1, 2023 to the University of Georgia Research Foundation (UGA Research Foundation) for the "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: IDEAS LAB: ETAUS PASSIVE LOCALIZED UNDERWATER TRANSITING OBSERVING SYSTEMS (PLUTOS)" project under the NSF Directorate for Engineering (CFDA 47.041). The project aims to study the links between underwater sound and marine biology, using a system of low-cost, drifting autonomous sensors to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program (CFDA 47.084) Project Grant award of $550,000 to Northeastern University is for the development of compact, coherent hydrophone array systems for real-time, wide-area ocean acoustic monitoring. The project aims to translate the Passive Ocean Acoustic Waveguide Remote Sensing (POAWRS) technology, which uses advanced hydrophone arrays to provide continental-scale ocean sensing capabilities, into...
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...
This $539,140 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) will enable Occidental College to acquire an ultra-high-resolution multibeam sonar system. The equipment will support ongoing faculty and undergraduate research projects focused on environmental science topics such as mapping earthquake-generated seafloor features, assessing coral reef health, and evaluating restoration efforts. Undergraduate students will gain...
This $249,924 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports the development of a long-lived, continuously operating seafloor geodesy reference station capable of operating in deep water. The grantee, Princeton University, will investigate using acoustic signals that only need to travel from the sea surface to the seafloor, removing the prior 3,000 meter depth limitation of existing seafloor geodesy techniques. This new approach involves...
This $299,953 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds the evaluation and implementation of a newly developed olfactometer for studying sensory ecology in small marine organisms at the University of Miami from February 1, 2023 to January 31, 2024. The olfactometer aims to advance research on the behavioral responses of aquatic organisms like Daphnia spp., fish-parasitic isopods, and juvenile stony corals to chemical cues. Currently, research tools for...
This $677,674 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund the development and testing of a bioinspired, long-term telemetry attachment device for monitoring critically endangered marine mammals. The principal investigator's research team at the New Jersey Institute of Technology will collaborate with various universities, industry partners, and federal agencies including NOAA Fisheries, the Alaskan Eskimo Whaling...
