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 $690,650 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports the development and testing of a field-ready, cost-effective sound playback system for conducting eco-acoustic and marine larval settlement studies. The system will enable researchers to easily manipulate and introduce sound cues in field experiments to investigate how sound impacts diverse marine fauna, with a focus on coral reef ecosystems. The 2-year effort will build,...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) totaling $317,344 will fund the development of a swarm of 20 autonomous subsea vehicles to study plankton growth and transport dynamics. Oregon State University will receive the funding from August 15, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The vehicles will mimic plankton behaviors to acquire high-resolution trajectory data in three dimensions, revealing physical transport processes and environmental conditions...
This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will provide $118,725 to Pacific Lutheran University (PLU) from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2028. The project will develop a novel observing system that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to coordinate multiple autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) to characterize the three-dimensional structure of tidally-driven coastal headland eddies, investigate spatiotemporal variability of...
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 $329,446 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to understand how ocean physics and animal social behaviors interact to drive predator-prey aggregations in the pelagic ocean. The project will focus on endangered blue whales and their krill prey, leveraging recent high-resolution observations of their behavior and physical oceanographic dynamics, as well as biophysical and evolutionary simulations. The...
Oregon State University was awarded a $1,223,276 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences on October 1, 2021 to complete the project by September 30, 2024. The award is being used to support collaborative research on plankton size spectra and trophic links in a dynamic ocean environment under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). This program aims to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanded fundamental knowledge and...
This Project Grant award, valued at $187,492.00 and funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070), aims to design a cyber-physical system (CPS) comprising networked autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) to perform machine learning (ML)-assisted identification of marine plumes. The key objectives of this project are to: (1) develop multi-fidelity numerical models of multiphase plumes to understand their current...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $315,954 to Portland State University to conduct research on the effects of microbial cell surface properties on predator-prey interactions in marine ecosystems. The 3-year project aims to quantify the surface characteristics of major marine microbial groups and assess how these properties influence feeding selectivity and fate of particles by suspension-feeding organisms like...
