- This $437,080 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to improve understanding of the impact of cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (CHABS) on the atmosphere. The project will conduct a series of laboratory and field measurements, along with chemical modeling, to determine secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation from CHAB-derived biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOC). Key objectives include: (1) measuring SOA formation from...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) aims to advance understanding of the genetic basis for cyanobacterial environmental adaptation to improve forecasting of harmful algal blooms (HABs). The $229,165 award to Michigan State University will: (i) map the ecological niches of key bloom-forming cyanobacteria under different environmental conditions; (ii) identify the genetic drivers of environmental fitness in a model...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) awarded a $300,000 project grant to the University of Toledo for the period of July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2027. The grant, titled "C2H2 EAGER: REDOX-DRIVEN MOBILIZATION AND AEROSOLIZATION OF HARMFUL ALGAL BLOOM TOXINS IN LAKE ERIE STRESSED SOILS," will investigate the hypothesis that wind-blown dust from coastal soils near Lake Erie can contain high concentrations of algal bloom-generated neurotoxins. This research...
- The University of Florida received a three-year, $330,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation to research the atmospheric processes of microcystins in airborne cyanobacterial aerosols. Funded through NSF's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), this award will support research from August 2021 through July 2024 examining the transport and breakdown of toxins produced by cyanobacteria in atmospheric conditions. As the place of performance, the University will leverage its...
- 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...
