This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $818,793 to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) aims to improve understanding of marine larval dispersal and its implications for managing marine resources. The project uses population genetic models to estimate dispersal kernels (spatial distribution of larval dispersal) for six reef fish species across three isolated South Pacific archipelagos. This data is then used to constrain...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $582,954 to Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (TAMU-CC) to conduct an integrative investigation of dispersal plasticity using the clown anemonefish as a model system. The research objectives are to: 1) test the hypothesis that parents in high- and low-quality environments produce larvae with differences in morphology, behavior, physiology, and gene expression; 2) test the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $1,599,823 from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027 to Boston University to conduct an integrative investigation of dispersal plasticity using the clown anemonefish as a model system. The research objectives include testing hypotheses that parents in high- and low-quality environments will produce larvae that differ in morphology, behavior, physiology, gene expression, and dispersal...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will examine the influence of mesoscale eddies on deep-sea dynamics and larval connectivity along mid-ocean ridges. The $311,553 award to the University of Delaware will utilize a multi-scale numerical ocean model and observational data on larval supply and colonization to simulate hydrodynamically mediated larval dispersal in the East Pacific Rise region over a 30-year period from...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $305,576.00 Project Grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution to study the influence of mesoscale eddies on deep-sea dynamics and larval connectivity along mid-ocean ridges. This research is funded through NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system. The project will utilize a multi-scale numerical ocean model in comparison with...
The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded The University of Central Florida Board of Trustees a $374,855 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) for the period of January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025. The grant will support collaborative research on the interplay of nitrogen loading and ecosystem sustainability in threatened wetlands located in the Guana Tolomato Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve in...
This $282,231 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research into the ecological role of dead corals in ecosystem resilience and recovery from disturbance. The University of Florida will lead the five-year research program exploring how the physical structures left behind by dead corals influence patterns of biodiversity, ecosystem functions, and trajectories following shifts in habitat-forming species composition. Specifically, the...
The University of Florida was awarded a three-year, $285,458 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund collaborative research on combined waves and currents over multi-scale topography, from boundary layer dynamics to parameterization. As outlined in the program description, the Geosciences program aims to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanded fundamental...
The University of Florida (UF) Division of Sponsored Research was awarded a $200,000 Project Grant by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research on the effects of the 2023-24 El Niño event on fish disease and population dynamics in the Galapagos Islands. The key products and services to be delivered under this one-year federal grant include: Establishing the extent of ulcerative skin disease in various marine fish species, and determining the...
