- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $320,000 Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Delaware. The funding will support collaborative research to empower artificial intelligence (AI) to reveal phytoplankton community dynamics in coastal oceans. The project aims to address the scarcity of in-situ data for estuarine-coastal phytoplankton by constructing a large-scale database of phytoplankton observations, enabling global data sharing. It will...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences (CFDA 47.050 - Geosciences) provides $1,444,777 from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026 to the University of Georgia Research Foundation to conduct research on the relationship between fine-scale water column structure, particle aggregations, and gelatinous-dominated food webs in subtropical continental shelf environments. The research is taking place in the South Atlantic Bight and Northern Gulf...
- This is a $1,038,533 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) to Savannah State University, a Historically Black College and University (HBCU) in Georgia. The project aims to quantify and characterize the distribution of micro- and nano-plastics in water, sediment, and biota within the Georgia Bight region. It will utilize drifters, water-tracking technology, and various analytical techniques like Raman spectroscopy and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $299,962 Project Grant to the College of Charleston under the Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program. The grant funds a two-year collaborative research project with NASA Ames Research Center to develop advanced satellite-based monitoring and forecasting capabilities for detecting and tracking harmful algal blooms (HABs) in coastal regions. The project aims to leverage new-generation hyperspectral satellite sensors and innovative data analysis algorithms to provide accurate, high-resolution information on the spatial and temporal distribution of HABs. This is expected to enable more effective environmental management and mitigation of the significant threats HABs pose to marine ecosystems, public health, and local economies. The grant supports an associate professor research fellowship and graduate student training to advance this technology and contribute to scientific progress in satellite remote sensing for environmental monitoring.
