- 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...
- This $234,897 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support a collaborative research project led by Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi to investigate the evolution of specialization in plant-endosymbiont (plant-fungal) relationships in response to environmental stressors like salinity in coastal marshes. The 3-year project will evaluate the nature of these plant-fungal partnerships along environmental gradients, assessing...
- This $307,095 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) program supports a 2-year research project at the University of Puerto Rico - Rio Piedras Campus. The project aims to investigate the ecophysiological responses of two key tree species in Caribbean tidal freshwater wetlands to the impacts of climate change, including warmer temperatures and increased salinity. Using field observations and greenhouse...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $109,866 to the University of North Texas to conduct a multi-proxy study to discriminate between marine and terrestrial sediments in coastal wetlands. The research aims to improve understanding of the relative contributions of marine and terrestrial sources to compound flooding events caused by hurricane impacts, which have intensified due to climate change. The study will employ...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $240,000 provides funding for a 3-year postdoctoral research fellowship to study the dynamics of the marsh-forest ecotone in the Chesapeake Bay region. The key objectives are to: Employ remote sensing techniques to track the migration rates of the leading and lagging edges of the marsh-forest ecotone. Use vegetation monitoring to explore how plant communities respond to varying migration...
- This $275,001 Project Grant award by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to understand how Earth's climate and oceans responded to the influx of meltwater from the Laurentide Ice Sheet during the last deglaciation, approximately 20,000 to 11,700 years ago. The research will generate high-resolution reconstructions of ocean-atmospheric and biogeochemical variability from marine sediment cores collected offshore Texas, focusing on...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $375,842 project grant to the University of Houston under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The grant funds collaborative research to understand how sea level rise affects coastal amphibians. Specifically, the university researchers will conduct experimental and comparative studies on 10 anuran species located near the Gulf and Atlantic coasts to identify life stage-specific mortality from salt stress. The studies aim to...
- 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...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) is supporting a collaborative research project to develop a new framework for understanding the evolution of specialization in plant-endosymbiont responses to varying environments. The $175,511 project, awarded on October 15, 2025 and running through September 30, 2028, will evaluate the extent of mutualistic partnerships between a saltmarsh grass and its fungal partners along a stress...
- 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...
