This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $598,958 to the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth to conduct collaborative research on the intergenerational effects of predation risk and resource identity on rocky shore ecosystems. The study will use field and laboratory experiments to examine how parental exposure to predation risk under different resource regimes influences offspring prey fitness, and how these intergenerational...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) focuses on understanding how changing environmental conditions, particularly rising ocean temperatures, will impact marine ecosystems and the availability of marine resources. The $738,152 award, effective June 1, 2025 through May 31, 2030, supports an integrated approach that combines physiological assays, community-level experiments, and numerical modeling to forecast the effects of temperature on...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $378,315 Project Grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution for research activities under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The two-year award, beginning February 1, 2022 through January 31, 2024, will support research to detect signatures of multigenerational plasticity in a marine forage fish. The Geosciences program seeks to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system through...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will quantify the temporal patterns and drivers of fish-mediated ecosystem functions, such as biomass production, nutrient cycling, and piscivory, across six European Large Marine Ecosystems over a 40-year period. The $393,925 award to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington will integrate fish monitoring data, bioenergetics modeling, and statistical inference to map the spatiotemporal...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $453,825 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Connecticut from August 15, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The project aims to investigate the unusual high sensitivity of sand lance fish embryos to ocean acidification and warming, which are direct consequences of climate change. Key objectives include: 1) testing the CO2 and temperature sensitivity of sand lance larvae, 2) using transcriptomic tools to elucidate...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $432,778 Project Grant to the University of Connecticut under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for research titled "Collaborative Research: The Effects of Terrestrial Organic Matter Inputs on Coastal Mercury Cycling, Methylmercury Production and Bioaccumulation." The three-year award beginning June 1, 2022 will support research examining how increased terrestrial organic matter delivery to coastal waters from climate change influences...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) is awarded to the University of Oregon for a 3-year collaborative research project to investigate the effects of microbial cell surface properties on predator-prey interactions in marine ecosystems. The total funding amount is $622,198, with the award period running from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027. The research examines how the surface characteristics of marine microorganisms influence...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will examine the influence of mesoscale eddies on deep-sea dynamics and larval connectivity along mid-ocean ridges. The $311,553 award to the University of Delaware will utilize a multi-scale numerical ocean model and observational data on larval supply and colonization to simulate hydrodynamically mediated larval dispersal in the East Pacific Rise region over a 30-year period from...
Northeastern University was awarded an $895,883 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund a research project at the Plum Island Long Term Ecological Research site to study the influence of biophysical coupling and cross-scale interactions on salt marsh ecosystems in New England. The project aims to determine how the geographical distribution of organisms responsible for critical...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $582,954 to Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (TAMU-CC) to conduct an integrative investigation of dispersal plasticity using the clown anemonefish as a model system. The research objectives are to: 1) test the hypothesis that parents in high- and low-quality environments produce larvae with differences in morphology, behavior, physiology, and gene expression; 2) test the...
