The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant of $156,445 to the Smithsonian Institution to conduct research on the effects of the 2023-2024 El Niño event on consumer interactions and marine biodiversity in the Tropical Eastern Pacific (TEP) region. This project, funded under NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will utilize short-term predator exclusion and exposure experiments to measure how increased ocean temperatures and weakened upwelling impact top-down control of...
This $187,290 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant awarded to Florida International University (FIU) on December 1, 2023 aims to assess the impacts of the unprecedented 2023 marine heatwave on sponge communities in the Florida Keys coral reef ecosystem. The project has three key components: (A) field surveys to evaluate changes in sponge community structure, (B) mesocosm experiments examining the effects of elevated seawater temperatures and low...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $944,394 Project Grant to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill under the Geosciences (47.050) federal grant program. The three-year award will support research to determine the effect of temperature on patterns and processes in rocky subtidal habitats of the Galápagos upwelling system. Specifically, the grantee will measure the temperature dependence of herbivory and carnivory through field experiments on 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...
This $440,785 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at the University of Miami to model how El Niño-Southern Oscillation patterns may change under future climate conditions and how those changes could alter related terrestrial impacts across North America. Over a three-year period ending in October 2025, the grantee will use sophisticated computer simulations to systematically test scenarios of potential ENSO variability and...
The University of Central Florida Board of Trustees Office of Research Division, doing business as UCF, has been awarded a $814,433 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program. The 3-year grant, effective July 1, 2024, supports collaborative research to resolve and predict dispersal patterns of marine larvae using population genetic models. The project team will apply isolation-by-distance theory to estimate mean parent-offspring dispersal distances for...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) EAGER grant award of $256,539 to the Florida Institute of Technology Inc. (Florida TECH) supports a project to investigate the history of El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events over the past 5,000 years. The research team aims to create a composite ENSO record from multiple sedimentary records in the lowland Neotropics of northern South America. This will provide a more comprehensive understanding of the frequency and...
Florida State University received a two-year, $278,481 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund research from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2023 to study the mechanisms of coral resistance to climate change driven stressors in the tropical Eastern Pacific. As part of the Geosciences program's goal to expand understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research, this...
This $199,919 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research by Sociedad Ambiente Marino Inc. on the causes and impacts of a resurgent die-off of the long-spined black sea urchin (Diadema antillarum) in the Caribbean. Using multidisciplinary approaches including metagenomics, metabolomics, and demographic analyses at four sites in Puerto Rico, the grantee will investigate the microbial profiles and...
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...
