The...
- The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth will receive $396,233 from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the agency's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2025 to conduct collaborative research on global estimates of energy pathways and stirring by internal waves and vortical modes. The Geosciences program supports basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $453,825 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Connecticut from August 15, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The project aims to investigate the unusual high sensitivity of sand lance fish embryos to ocean acidification and warming, which are direct consequences of climate change. Key objectives include: 1) testing the CO2 and temperature sensitivity of sand lance larvae, 2) using transcriptomic tools to elucidate...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $438,331 project grant to the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research from April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2026. The research aims to characterize amino acid nitrogen isotopes in phytoplankton and advance understanding of isotopic patterns produced under varying physiological conditions. Investigators and students will explore how different...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $516,757 project grant to Trustees of Boston University to support research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: HOW DO SELECTION, PLASTICITY, AND DISPERSAL INTERACT TO DETERMINE CORAL SUCCESS IN WARMER AND MORE VARIABLE ENVIRONMENTS?" from November 15, 2021 through October 31, 2024. This project grant funding will support research under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $3 million Project Grant to the Virginia Institute of Marine Science under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to study biotic and abiotic drivers of pathogen transmission in marine systems influenced by climate change. Specifically, the award will fund research examining how climate change and other human impacts alter disease transmission dynamics in marine populations. The project focuses on investigating the...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $536,343 to Rollins College will investigate the effects of rising sea surface temperatures (SST) on the distribution, reproductive dynamics, and hybridization of blue mussel species (Mytilus edulis complex) in Hokkaido, Japan. The 3-year project, running from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2028, aims to: (1) re-examine mussel species distributions after 17 years, (2) evaluate changes in mussel...
The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth received a $304,351 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct research on "Collaborative Research: ORCC: Carryover Effects of Multiple Climate Change Stressors in Oysters: Mechanisms and Consequences Across Stages of Ontogeny." The research aims to experimentally test how early life exposure to ocean warming and low dissolved oxygen affects the Eastern Oyster's responses to these same stressors later in life. The study involves a series of lab and field experiments to analyze the oyster's fitness, microbiomes, methylomes, and nitrogen content across different life stages, with the goal of improving understanding of how repeated stress exposure can impact species' responses to climate change. The findings will be shared with aquaculture stakeholders through workshops, and educational activities will be developed to engage students from elementary to high school on topics related to climate change and marine ecosystems. The award runs from August 1, 2023, through November 30, 2026.
