Project Grant 2513097
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $152,407 Project Grant to the University of South Florida (USF) from March 1, 2024 to February 28, 2027 under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The grant supports a collaborative research project that examines the resilience and long-term productivity of small-scale coastal fisheries in a mangrove wetland ecosystem. The research leverages diverse archaeological...
- This $309,338 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a study of the impacts of coastal and marine resource shifts on local fishing communities. The principal investigators will track the relationships that emerge when new resource management policies and laws are implemented, and measure how communities adapt to these changes over time. The research aims to contribute to social...
- This $268,585 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences (CFDA 47.075) supports long-term research examining human-environment interactions along the Pacific Coast. The research team from the University of Nevada, Reno will conduct archaeological surveys and excavations, radiocarbon dating, and stable isotope analysis of marine shells and fish remains to develop a chronology of coastal occupation and paleoenvironmental change over...
- 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...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $335,194 supports an archaeological investigation of recently discovered monumental hydraulic features at an important archaeological site. The project aims to establish when these features were constructed, whether they were contemporaneous with other monumental constructions, and the functions they served, such as ritual and aquaculture. The study will involve excavations, soil...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, awarded a $205,162 project grant to Temple University-Of The Commonwealth System Of Higher Education for a collaborative research initiative on the resilience and collapse of small-scale coastal fisheries. This 3-year project, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: RESILIENCE, EXPERIMENTATION, AND COLLAPSE IN SMALL-SCALE FISHERIES," aims to examine the long-term resilience of fishing systems by...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $319,964 to Northeastern University aims to study how human engineering decisions and landscape changes over centuries have impacted coastal regions. The project uses novel modeling approaches, including agent-based, dynamical system, and participatory modeling, to understand how local-scale engineering interventions can lead to less geomorphologically stable delta landscapes compared to larger...
- This $1,599,142 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research titled "DISES: Pathways and Constraints to Adaptation in Coastal Social-Environmental Systems" conducted by Stanford University from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2025. The grant funds research on adaptation challenges facing coastal communities in relation to environmental variability and change. Key activities include nearshore oceanographic monitoring,...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $191,700 to Arizona State University (ASU) to investigate changes in prehistoric human foraging, mobility patterns, and population dynamics in response to environmental change during the later Pleistocene. The research aims to provide broader context to occupations in a coastal region by comparing new archaeological data analyses to detailed models of the...
- This federal Project Grant award, valued at $108,757, was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to San Diego State University Foundation. The award, effective August 15, 2024 through July 31, 2026, supports a collaborative research project that investigates changes in prehistoric human foraging, mobility patterns, and population dynamics in response to environmental change during the later Pleistocene. The research...
This Project Grant award of $241,509 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) enables researchers at The Pennsylvania State University to study the variables influencing the efficacy of estuarine and marine resource management. The key objectives are to investigate how resource management strategies, especially related to fisheries and shellfisheries, have changed over time as communities grew and environmental conditions fluctuated. The interdisciplinary research will leverage archaeological and isotopic analysis methods to provide long-term historical perspectives on successful and unsuccessful resource management approaches. This retrospective view aims to develop a better understanding of the decisions, rules, and governance structures leveraged by growing communities to promote sustainable use of their marine and estuarine resource bases. The 24-month project period runs from September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2027.
