This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) funds collaborative research to understand the relationship between surface productivity and ecological structure in marine benthic communities. The $281,310 award to the Smithsonian Institution will be used to: (1) evaluate how productivity affects the energetic and trophic structure of marine benthic communities on both sides of the modern Isthmus of Panama, (2) use this knowledge to study the...
This Project Grant award in the amount of $212,201 was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Alabama. The goal of this 3-year project, starting on September 1, 2024, is to understand and characterize the relationship between surface productivity and ecological structure in marine benthos. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: (1) evaluating how productivity affects the energetic and trophic structure...
This $432,829 federal Project Grant was awarded on September 1, 2024 by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to The Ohio State University. The grant will fund a collaborative research project titled "Energetic Controls on Marine Benthic Community Structure in Space and Time." The key objectives are to: 1) evaluate how surface productivity affects the energetic and trophic structure of marine benthic communities on both sides of the modern Isthmus of...
This $308,515 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research to determine changes in the pelagic ecosystem function and their impact on the carbon cycle from the Eocene to the Oligocene epochs. The research will reconstruct changes in the South Atlantic subtropical gyre ecosystem during this period of significant climate variability, and analyze how those changes impacted carbonate production and preservation....
This $771,664 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support a collaborative research project aimed at using the vertical dimension of forests to test tradeoffs and principles of community ecology. The project will: Conduct a multi-omic characterization of the functional and taxonomic diversity of soil microbial communities along a vertical gradient in a Panamanian tropical rainforest. Assess the communities dispersing via...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to investigate the movement of key elements such as carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus through coral reef fish communities in Belize. The $672,065 grant awarded on September 1, 2024 will fund research to uncover the origin and flow of these vital elements, as well as reveal relationships between benthic structural complexity and elemental fluxes across different spatial scales. The project...
This $442,114 project grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will support a collaborative research effort to study changes in the pelagic ecosystem and carbon cycle from the Eocene to Oligocene eras (56-33.9 million years ago). The research team at the University of Texas at Austin will reconstruct changes in the South Atlantic subtropical gyre ecosystem during this period of significant climate variability, including shifts from hothouse to...
This $860,741 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a collaborative research project titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: MRA: PANAM PEAT: UNDERSTANDING WATER AND CARBON CYCLING ACROSS THE PAN-AMERICAN TROPICAL PEATLAND BIOME" at Arizona State University. The overarching goal is to gain new insights into tropical peatland environments and better constrain regional and global carbon budgets. Key deliverables...
This $415,924 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will support collaborative research to investigate the large-scale dynamics of the tropical Indo-Pacific region during the Last Glacial Maximum. The project aims to reconstruct the tropical thermocline structure and wind patterns using ocean modeling and geochemical analysis of foraminifera sediment samples. This research will lead to a better understanding of how the...
This $163,915 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project investigating changes in carbon uptake and storage in the Pacific Ocean during the Pliocene, a warm period approximately 3 million years ago. The primary objectives are to quantify the marine carbon response to temperature-sensitive mechanisms within the ocean, with the goal of better predicting carbon storage during future climate warming. The...
