This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $123,550 awarded to the University of South Carolina, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports research to develop new modeling techniques to predict shifts in the foraging patterns and spatial distribution of the endangered North Atlantic right whale in response to climate change. The key products of this 3-year project include: An integrated modeling framework that combines whale movement data, prey surveys, and genetic...
This $112,243 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research project between the University of California - Merced and the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The project aims to reconstruct and analyze the dynamics of historical and paleo-ecosystems, with a focus on understanding how marine communities have responded to climate change and resource exploitation over time, particularly...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $324,986 Project Grant under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program to Florida International University (FIU) on September 1, 2024. The goal of this 2-year project is to assess how environmental factors, including food availability, predation risk, and boating activity, affect the behavior and habitat use of coastal dolphins in an urbanized marine ecosystem. The project will use innovative methods such as environmental DNA sampling, underwater...
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...
This $879,520 National Science Foundation award through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds a collaborative research project examining the implications of rapid Arctic change for fisheries and fishing communities in the western North Atlantic. Led by the Gulf of Maine Research Institute, the project builds a network to develop a climate vulnerability assessment and predictive models evaluating how changes in the Arctic cryosphere and ocean circulation affect ecosystem and fishery...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $170,879 Project Grant under its Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The project, spanning May 2025 to April 2026, aims to examine how oceanographic variables influence the distribution and habitat preferences of cetaceans (whales, dolphins, and porpoises) around the South Shetland Islands. The project will utilize previously collected passive acoustic data and satellite...
This $293,977 project grant from the National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities will fund research into the impacts of rapid Arctic change on fisheries and fishing communities in the western North Atlantic. The award was made to Florida State University on January 1, 2023 for research to be completed by December 31, 2025. The project builds a collaborative network to develop climate vulnerability assessments and predictive models examining how shifts in Arctic ice, ocean...
This Project Grant award of $924,137 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research by the Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences to develop new modeling approaches to understand and predict the impacts of climate change on the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale. The key products/services to be delivered include: Developing an individual movement model to identify prey density thresholds that drive right whale foraging decisions...
This $358,499 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research to understand the impact of warming on the structure and function of marine communities in the Northwest Atlantic Shelf region, including the Gulf of Maine and Mid-Atlantic Bight. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, through its Office of Sponsored Research, will characterize the composition and features of plankton and fish...
This Project Grant award of $277,490.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports U.S. researchers participating in a multinational research project on cultural heritage and climate change adaptation in coastal regions. The project, titled "Coastal Tales, Telling Adaptations: Living Environmental Stories for Coastal Resilience," focuses on integrating local and traditional knowledge, social science, and natural science to determine how past...
