This $829,608 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports a five-year effort to address key unknowns surrounding paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) in Alaska. The award establishes the "Knowledge Warding Against Toxin Levels Center for Oceans and Human Health," which will be directed by the Sitka Tribe of Alaska's Resource Protection Division and co-directed by a public health academic. The center will conduct three...
This $335,410 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research study led by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to investigate the cycling and uptake of monomethylmercury (MMHg) in natural phytoplankton assemblages. The 3-year study will focus on the Western North Atlantic Ocean and its estuaries, a region with productive fisheries. The research aims to better understand the fundamental processes governing...
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...
This $263,129.00 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities establishes a long-term observational program to study phytoplankton populations, water characteristics, and nutrient concentrations in the coastal waters around Kotzebue, Alaska. The grant, funded under NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support year-round monitoring at multiple sites, including through the winter ice. The data collected will provide critical insights into...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program has awarded a $2,746,722 Project Grant to Alaska Pacific University (APU) to conduct research on how variation in host susceptibility to pathogens arises and shifts across thermal gradients. The 5-year project from August 15, 2023 to July 31, 2028 will test mechanistic models using laboratory and field data on Pacific herring, a key marine forage fish, and their cold- and warm-water adapted pathogens. This research aims to increase...
The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), awarded a $1,159,178 Project Grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to establish a year-round long-term observational program studying phytoplankton populations, hydrography, and nutrient concentrations in the waters around Kotzebue, Alaska. This community-based research effort will measure water column characteristics and phytoplankton at six sites during the ice-free season and...
The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution received a $705,115 five-year Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA #47.078) to conduct collaborative research quantifying seasonal and interannual changes in shelf-derived material inputs to the Arctic Ocean. The research, titled "The Arctic Radium Isotope Observing Network (ARION)," will strengthen understanding of fundamental polar science by expanding knowledge of Arctic...
This $477,793 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) funds a research project at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to investigate the impacts of climate change on the biological carbon pump in the West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) region. The goal of the project is to develop a novel hybrid modeling framework that integrates observational data from long-term research programs with advanced artificial intelligence and...
This $1.79 million National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds research at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution from July 2022 through June 2025 to investigate mixotrophic algal contributions to copepod diet and reproduction in the Gulf of Maine. The award supports experiments to characterize the role of mixotrophic algae in mitigating deficiencies in phytoplankton food quality for copepod reproduction. Analysis of nutrient and fatty acid...
This $350,850 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI). The funding will support the development and implementation of a novel data-assimilated modeling approach that integrates geochemical ice-rafted debris data into iceberg simulations. This research aims to improve interpretations of ice-rafted debris records in the North Atlantic basin in order to better understand the...
