- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,170,034 Project Grant under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to the University of Maine System to quantify the biogeochemical cycles and forecast future scenarios for sub-Arctic agroecosystems from Alaska to Greenland. The 3-year project, beginning January 1, 2026, will investigate the impacts of expanding agricultural practices on Arctic and sub-Arctic freshwater systems and ecosystems. The researchers will partner with 6 farms in South...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award for $425,311 to the Carnegie Institution for Science supports collaborative research on how winter conditions affect the ecological function of seasonally-frozen lakes. The multi-year project (11/1/2023 - 10/31/2027) will develop a comprehensive, predictive model of year-round lake ecosystem dynamics by: Conducting detailed seasonal studies of water quality, plankton populations, food webs, and organic matter cycling in 12 lakes with...
- This $879,520 National Science Foundation award through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds a collaborative research project examining the implications of rapid Arctic change for fisheries and fishing communities in the western North Atlantic. Led by the Gulf of Maine Research Institute, the project builds a network to develop a climate vulnerability assessment and predictive models evaluating how changes in the Arctic cryosphere and ocean circulation affect ecosystem and fishery...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $130,123 Project Grant to the University of Wisconsin System at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, with a project period from November 1, 2023 to October 31, 2027. The funding supports collaborative research to develop a comprehensive model of year-round ecosystem function in seasonally frozen lakes, addressing the "winter knowledge gap" in understanding how changing winter conditions impact lake...
- This five-year, $565,180 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research on the impacts of global changes on glacial fjords, ecosystems, and communities in Greenland. The awardee, Bigelow Laboratory For Ocean Sciences, will partner with Pinngortitaleriffik / Gronlands Naturinstitut to study glacial fjords, ecosystems, and local communities in Greenland through 2026. The Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental knowledge...
- This $299,999 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports exploratory research to investigate the impacts of harmful algal blooms on Arctic populations and marine ecosystems in Greenland's Ilulissat/Disko Bay region. The research team, composed of experts in Arctic environmental science, social science, and medical professionals, will conduct interdisciplinary studies to expand knowledge on how these toxic algal blooms, driven by...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation supports collaborative research titled "Global Changes, Local Impacts: Study of Glacial Fjords, Ecosystems and Communities in Greenland" from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2026 with funding of $326,947. The research is conducted under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Trustees of...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Polar Programs grant program (CFDA 47.078) supports a collaborative research effort to investigate how physical oceanographic processes, such as water circulation and mixing, shape the productivity of fjord ecosystems in Greenland. The $1,038,209 award, effective from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will fund field observations, computer modeling, and analysis to elucidate the linkages between physical transport...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), has awarded a $702,163 project grant to the University of Alabama. This 3-year collaborative research project, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: NSFDEB-NERC: WARMING'S SILVER LINING? THERMAL COMPENSATION AT MULTIPLE LEVELS OF ORGANIZATION MAY PROMOTE STREAM ECOSYSTEM STABILITY IN RESPONSE TO DROUGHT", aims to understand how continued warming and increasing drought will impact the composition and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is providing a $399,959 Project Grant through its Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program to the University of Maine System. The grant supports a 5-year collaborative research project titled "LTREB: Dynamics of Extreme Climate Disturbance in Arctic Lakes (DECADAL)". The project aims to investigate how entire lake ecosystems in the Arctic respond to rapid and severe disturbances, such as the dramatic shift from clear, blue lakes to brown, murky conditions observed in West Greenland. The research will leverage over a decade of previously collected data and continue monitoring 10 Arctic lakes in West Greenland to quantify the effects of extreme weather events on various aspects of the lake ecosystems. This knowledge will help create a framework for understanding how critical Arctic lakes may change in the future due to rapid environmental changes.
