The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $134,502 Project Grant to the Smithsonian Institution to conduct collaborative research on the changing trophic niches of large herbivorous fish on modern coral reefs. This study under the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) aims to: (1) define the feeding behaviors and diets of herbivorous fishes on healthy coral reefs using traditional and cutting-edge techniques to quantify resource partitioning, and (2) determine...
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...
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...
This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports research to explore the dynamics and predictability of coastal El Niño events and their relationship to the broader El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon. The $644,460 award, which commenced on June 1, 2024, will be led by the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The research investigates the underlying mechanisms driving coastal El Niño events, which can cause heavy...
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...
The University of California Irvine received a three-year, $814,240 National Science Foundation project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research understanding the multi-year dynamics of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), including its El Niño and La Niña asymmetries and climate impacts from September 2021 through August 2024. As part of the Geosciences program's goal of expanding fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through atmospheric, earth,...
This $341,117 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to improve understanding of potential changes to El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) impacts from climate change. The awardee, North Carolina State University, will use sophisticated computer modeling to systematically test scenarios of how different possible future changes to ENSO could alter temperature and precipitation patterns over North America. The research seeks to...
This $332,944 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at Rowan University from September 2022 through August 2025 to study how the spatial patterns of El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) variability changed during colder background climate conditions approximately 20,000 years ago. The grantee will analyze geochemistry from planktic foraminifera shells collected from sediment cores at key locations in the central and eastern...
The National Science Foundation awarded the University of Rhode Island (URI) Research Office Division a $199,959 grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to study the impacts of a Crown of Thorns sea star outbreak and El Niño warming on coral reproduction, recruitment, and thermal tolerance in Mo'orea, French Polynesia. The project is examining the role of lagoon reef Pocillopora spp. coral in reef recovery following these natural disturbances, including quantifying reproduction, larval...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $700,944 Project Grant under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to conduct research on "Revealing Biological Hotspots Across Time and 3-Dimensional Space in the Open Ocean." This 5-year project aims to: Identify three-dimensional biological hotspots - areas of intense marine productivity critical for species - using Northern elephant seals as ecosystem sentinels. Validate high- and...
