This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to investigate the movement of key elements such as carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus through coral reef fish communities in Belize. The $672,065 grant awarded on September 1, 2024 will fund research to uncover the origin and flow of these vital elements, as well as reveal relationships between benthic structural complexity and elemental fluxes across different spatial scales. The project...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research examining how chemical interactions between coral reef organisms, including corals, macroalgae, and encrusting algae, contribute to the success and biodiversity of economically important coral reef ecosystems. The $1,309,859 award to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution aims to advance the understanding of contact-free, chemically-based interactions between benthic organisms on...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences (CFDA 47.050 - Geosciences) provides $1,444,777 from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026 to the University of Georgia Research Foundation to conduct research on the relationship between fine-scale water column structure, particle aggregations, and gelatinous-dominated food webs in subtropical continental shelf environments.
