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...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $370,100 awarded to the University of Rhode Island from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2024 will fund research investigating the impacts of ocean warming on the symbiotic nutritional exchange between microbes and reef-building corals during early life stages. As part of the Geosciences program under the CFDA 47.050, the awardee will characterize the development of the coral-algal symbiosis across life histories in Hawaiian and French...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $298,357 supports research investigating coral demographic processes and their interaction with climate change and local stressors to influence coral recovery trajectories. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will support analysis of time series coral size-frequency data across four Pacific regions to assess demographic rates following bleaching events and evaluate their importance in driving recovery dynamics....
This $715,774 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to evaluate the resilience of tropical reef ecosystems to human impacts. The project is being conducted by the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and involves field experiments in Moorea, French Polynesia to examine how the sequence of increased fishing pressure, nutrient pollution, and sedimentation affects the resistance and recovery of short algal turf...
This $599,986 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to determine how coral reef-associated microbes influence ecological processes on coral reefs. The project aims to understand how organic matter released by benthic primary producers on coral reefs selects for specific microbial taxa, and how the metabolism of these core reef microbes facilitates nutrient cycling, calcification, and biodiversity. The research combines...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research examining how chemical interactions between coral reef organisms, including corals, macroalgae, and encrusting algae, contribute to the success and biodiversity of economically important coral reef ecosystems. The $1,309,859 award to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution aims to advance the understanding of contact-free, chemically-based interactions between benthic organisms on...
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...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $252,096 Project Grant to the University of Texas at Austin under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research quantifying energy fluxes on coral reefs from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2024. The research will combine emerging technologies to examine how characteristics of small coral reef patches such as temperature, wave energy, architecture, and cryptic species assemblages shape reliance on different organisms to sustain larger reef fishes....
This $127,149 National Science Foundation Project Grant through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund facility improvements and research at the Central Caribbean Marine Institute, Inc. (CCMI) in the Cayman Islands. The award will leverage CCMI's 22-year record of coral reef research by establishing infrastructure for experiments on the physiological and molecular mechanisms driving coral reef resilience. Specifically, the funding will develop an outdoor mesocosm facility to...
The Coral Reef Research Foundation was awarded a $300,996 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The award, made on June 1, 2021 for a period of performance through May 31, 2022, will support the acquisition of a SMALL AERIAL BATHYMETRIC/TOPOGRAPHIC LIDAR SYSTEM FOR TROPICAL MARINE AND TERRESTRIAL RESEARCH. This system will allow the Foundation to conduct remote sensing research of coral...
