- 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 Environmental Biology awarded The University of Central Florida Board of Trustees a $374,855 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) for the period of January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025. The grant will support collaborative research on the interplay of nitrogen loading and ecosystem sustainability in threatened wetlands located in the Guana Tolomato Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve in...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program awarded a $400,523 Project Grant to the University of Houston System to conduct collaborative research on the impacts of climate variability and extreme weather events on coastal ecosystems. The research aims to understand how mangrove forests and salt marsh plant communities respond and recover after severe freeze events, which can dramatically alter these coastal habitats. The project will document...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $633,443 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to the University of Florida to conduct research on the predictability of wading bird dynamics in the Everglades. The grant will leverage long-term monitoring data to examine how scale impacts ecological forecasting, with the goal of improving forecasts to guide Everglades restoration efforts. Specifically, the research will: Quantify how predictability, drivers, and...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) in the amount of $488,890 provides funding to the University of Notre Dame to study the response of biodiverse freshwater ecosystems to environmental changes caused by rising sea levels. The researchers will use the Izabal/Golfete system, a freshwater ecosystem in Eastern Guatemala, as a natural experiment to investigate how gradual versus rapid marine water inundation impacts the environment and...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. for the Georgia Coastal Ecosystems Long Term Ecological Research (GCE LTER) program. The $1,257,000 award, effective July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2031, supports research to understand how estuaries and coastal wetlands respond to long-term environmental changes, including the effects of sea level rise, temperature, storms, and human...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology, under CFDA Program 47.074 Biological Sciences, is providing $103,398 to Florida International University (FIU) to develop a novel seafloor sensor/sampler system and associated machine learning control systems. The goal is to better understand how tidal pumping and subsurface currents influence seafloor oxygenation and sedimentary carbon cycling. The project will provide mentoring and field...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program provides $2,275,000 in funding to the Rector & Visitors of the University of Virginia (UVA) for a research project titled "LTER: Environmental Drivers and Ecosystem State Change in a Coastal Barrier Landscape". The project aims to use long-term ecological data to predict how coastlines will change in response to environmental threats such as sea-level...
- This $199,476 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports collaborative research led by Texas A&M University to investigate the impacts of climate variability on coastal wetland ecosystems. The project aims to document the successional pathways and recovery of mangroves and salt marsh plants following hard freeze events that can devastate mangrove populations at the northern edges of their geographic range. The...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program has awarded a $1,275,000 Project Grant to Florida International University (FIU) for the "LTER V: COASTAL OLIGOTROPHIC ECOSYSTEMS" research project. This 6-year project, running from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2031, will continue long-term studies and experiments to understand how changes in freshwater supply, sea level rise, and disturbances like tropical storms interact to influence coastal ecosystems and their services in the Florida Everglades. The interdisciplinary research team, which includes resource managers, will integrate disturbance ecology and ecosystem development theories to investigate how climate variability, water management, and governance of freshwater influence the social-ecological landscape. The project aims to guide effective freshwater restoration and engage an active community of academic and agency scientists while also educating students, educators, and the general public about the scientific discoveries of coastal ecosystems.
