Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will further understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in ocean sciences. Specifically, the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science will conduct research from September 2023 to August 2026 to...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $2,550,000 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) for the "Environmental Drivers and Ecological Consequences of Kelp Forest Dynamics on a Changing Planet (SBC V)" project. The grant will fund long-term ecological research on kelp forest ecosystems to advance understanding of how natural disturbances, climate variation, and human activities impact these important coastal...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) is awarded to the University of Oregon for a 3-year collaborative research project to investigate the effects of microbial cell surface properties on predator-prey interactions in marine ecosystems. The total funding amount is $622,198, with the award period running from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027. The research examines how the surface characteristics of marine microorganisms influence...
- This $300,785 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a research project to characterize the chemical composition and bioavailability of dissolved organic matter released by marine nitrifying microorganisms. The project aims to determine how this material contributes to carbon cycling in the deep ocean, which may help improve biogeochemical models and inform potential marine carbon dioxide removal activities. The research will...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding to support a postdoctoral research fellowship investigating the genetic basis of heat tolerance in the ecologically important giant kelp species (Macrocystis pyrifera). The 3-year project aims to: (1) determine if warming events are associated with genetic signatures of population decline in giant kelp, (2) identify adaptive genetic variants that contribute...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $341,191 to the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography to investigate the microbe-metabolite interactions that govern bacterial growth efficiency in coral reef ecosystems. The project aims to uncover the microbial mechanisms driving the shift from coral-dominated to algae-dominated reef systems, supporting more effective conservation and restoration...
