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 (NSF) awarded a $873,836 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) on August 15, 2024. The grant will fund a 5-year research project to investigate rapid evolution in reef-building corals during marine heatwave events. The project aims to study how the mortality induced by these extreme climate events changes the genetic composition of coral populations. Using a combination of field experiments...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering (CFDA 47.041) Project Grant award to Northwestern University in the amount of $299,986 will fund a project focused on developing biophotonic technologies to increase the resilience of coral reefs to the impacts of climate change-induced ocean warming. The project aims to use optical imaging techniques to understand the role of gene expression and chromatin remodeling in coral thermal stress tolerance, with the goal of identifying strategies to...
