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) will support research to investigate how spatial variations in environmental conditions contribute to the resilience of coral reef communities on the island of Moorea. The $316,457 award, effective November 1, 2024 through October 31, 2026, will leverage long-term coral community and environmental data from the Moorea Coral Reef Long-Term Ecological Research (MCR LTER) program to model the...
This federal Project Grant award for $899,997.00, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), aims to develop predictive tools and frameworks for understanding and modeling coral reef adaptation to climate change. The key products and services to be delivered under this 5-year award include: Constructing mathematical models to quantify how coral and symbiotic algae characteristics influence adaptation patterns across coral reef networks under various...
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 $1,599,937 National Science Foundation project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research at the University of California, Davis and Humboldt State University from July 2021 through June 2026. The grant funds ecological and social science research to develop a socio-environmental systems framework for informing coastal habitat restoration decisions under climate change. At UC Davis, the grant supports coordination of scuba diving research at multiple northern...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $1,275,001.00 to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to conduct research on the "Environmental Drivers and Ecological Consequences of Kelp Forest Dynamics on a Changing Planet." The goal is to advance understanding of the sustainability of coastal oceanic ecosystems and the processes affecting foundation species like giant kelp. The research will integrate long-term...
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....
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 $228,683 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research examining the role of cleaning symbiosis in transferring microbes on coral reefs. Specifically, the University of Miami will study how cleanerfish may serve as keystone regulators of microbial communities, enhancing diversity and transferring key species between clients. Researchers will also assess if cleanerfish facilitate reef resilience by aiding microbial recovery after...
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...
