This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $742,863 to the University of Washington for a collaborative research project titled "Rhythm and Blooms: Deciphering Metabolic, Functional and Taxonomic Interactions over the Life Cycle of a Phytoplankton Bloom." The research aims to explore how environmental factors and interactions between phytoplankton cells and associated bacteria control the timing of phytoplankton bloom...
This $521,762 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research aimed at deciphering the metabolic, functional, and taxonomic interactions over the life cycle of a phytoplankton bloom in a dynamic coastal ecosystem. The project will analyze a unique set of samples and data collected in 2021-2022 using genomic methods to examine biomolecules associated with bloom initiation, maintenance, and decline. Key outcomes...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides $221,015 to the University of New Hampshire from February 2022 to January 2024 to investigate changes in Arctic Ocean phytoplankton and track the vertical export of organic carbon they produce. Working with optical oceanography experts at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the University will analyze data from 2010-2021 field campaigns measuring inherent and apparent optical...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $320,000 Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Delaware. The funding will support collaborative research to empower artificial intelligence (AI) to reveal phytoplankton community dynamics in coastal oceans. The project aims to address the scarcity of in-situ data for estuarine-coastal phytoplankton by constructing a large-scale database of phytoplankton observations, enabling global data sharing. It will...
This $916,578 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports fundamental research to expand understanding of iron adaptation in marine phytoplankton across global oceans. The key objectives are to: Characterize iron storage capacities and limitation thresholds for 20 Synechococcus phytoplankton strains from 11 ecotypes across a range of ocean iron niches. Analyze gene regulation responses to varying iron availability for the 20...
This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program, totaling $739,133, supports collaborative research on sources and transformations of export production from coral and plankton bioarchives. The University of Rhode Island will receive funding through February 2024 to conduct a novel 50-year record of pelagic-benthic coupling by analyzing coral and plankton samples. The Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system...
This three-year, $623,934 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research on the physiological controls of trait expression, nutrient allocation, and elemental stoichiometry in the phytoplankton Synechococcus. The awardee, University of California Irvine, will conduct continuous culture experiments with common phytoplankton strains under varying nutrient supply ratios, temperature, and growth conditions. Biochemical...
This $297,369 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research evaluating the contribution of small eukaryotes to nitrate-based new production in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. Over a three-year period ending November 2025, the University of Hawaii at Manoa will conduct laboratory and ship-based research to better understand how phytoplankton access subsurface nitrogen in surface waters during summer months. Researchers will sort phytoplankton...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $574,980 Project Grant under its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Rhode Island (URI) Research Office Division. The grant will support research to study monomethylmercury (MMHg) in natural phytoplankton assemblages in the western North Atlantic Ocean and its estuaries. The project aims to improve understanding of the fundamental processes governing MMHg uptake and cycling at the base of the marine food web. The researchers will...
This $442,689 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research evaluating the contribution of small eukaryotes to nitrate-based new production in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. The grantees, led by the University of Connecticut Office of Sponsored Programs, will investigate how phytoplankton access subsurface nitrogen at Station ALOHA in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. Researchers will sort phytoplankton...
