This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant in the amount of $300,000 was awarded to Michigan State University to investigate the complex interactions between human disturbances and natural features that impact U.S. lake ecosystems and harmful algal blooms. The key products and services to be delivered through this 2-year award include: Developing machine learning models to quantify the relationships between multiple human disturbances and their impacts...
This five-year, $229,571 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research examining the impact of climate change on functional biodiversity in Lake Tanganyika, Africa. Led by Brown University, the project will use sedimentary records to model historical community structures and functions under different climate change scenarios. Researchers will assess open water and benthic communities using geochemical, fossil, and genomic tools....
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will quantify the temporal patterns and drivers of fish-mediated ecosystem functions, such as biomass production, nutrient cycling, and piscivory, across six European Large Marine Ecosystems over a 40-year period. The $393,925 award to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington will integrate fish monitoring data, bioenergetics modeling, and statistical inference to map the spatiotemporal...
This $459,803 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports research to better understand and predict changes in river chemistry at the global scale. The investigators will (re)use publicly available water chemistry and flow data from over 450 rivers across all seven continents. They will apply novel machine learning and data analysis techniques to determine how and why substances in rivers, including nutrients, metals, salts,...
This $671,535 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research examining the recovery trajectories of prey communities after the removal of non-native predator species, such as fish, from mountain lakes in the Sierra Nevada region of California. The key objectives are to elucidate the connections between taxonomic and functional recovery of these ecosystems, identify indicators of community vulnerability based on...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) in the amount of $411,235 will support collaborative research to quantify the response of biodiverse freshwater ecosystems in Eastern Guatemala to abrupt and progressive environmental changes driven by rising sea levels. The research team, led by the University of Toledo, will collect sediment cores, surface sediment, fish, and water samples to generate high-resolution time series data on...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program, CFDA 47.074, provides $472,257 to Miami University in Oxford, Ohio to support an Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site award from March 1, 2022 to February 28, 2025. The award will fund research training for 36 undergraduate students over three summers, with 12 students participating each year. Students will conduct ecology and environmental science research related to urban-rural gradients,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $399,132 project grant to the University of Virginia for a three-year collaborative research project titled "Whole Ecosystem Test of Restoring Resilience in Lakes". The goal of the project is to experimentally test methods for enhancing the resilience of lake ecosystems to algal blooms, which threaten drinking water, reduce tourism, and harm wildlife. The researchers will measure and evaluate the...
This $450,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Office of International Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.079) supports a three-year research program investigating ecological resilience in northern lakes and rivers in Mongolia. The project leverages nearly 20 years of prior ecological research in the region to examine how coldwater fish populations in Mongolia have remained robust despite rapid regional warming. The research team, comprised of American and Mongolian...
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...
