- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) a $652,262 Project Grant through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on how microbial symbionts protect eelgrass from the impacts of thermal stress associated with global climate change. The research aims to: (1) assess the assembly and function of the eelgrass microbiome under ambient and elevated temperature conditions, (2) determine how...
- This $521,796 National Science Foundation project grant through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research at San Diego State University Foundation from April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2026. The research will investigate how changing ocean conditions like ocean acidification and nutrient pollution affect the growth and survival of eelgrass, a foundational species that provides valuable ecosystem services. Researchers will examine how these stressors interact with local...
- This three-year, $411,435 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research investigating how changing ocean conditions like ocean acidification and nutrient pollution affect eelgrass growth and survival. The principal investigators are examining how ocean acidification impacts ecological interactions between eelgrass and its epibiota under varying levels of nutrient stress and habitat complexity. Specifically, the research analyzes how...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $334,904 to the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) will support research on how the increasing prevalence of weedy seagrass species affects community interactions and coastal ecosystem functioning. The project will use large-scale field experiments to examine how different seagrass and bivalve species interact and impact coastal carbon cycling. The findings will enhance conservation and...
- This $1,599,937 National Science Foundation project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research at the University of California, Davis and Humboldt State University from July 2021 through June 2026. The grant funds ecological and social science research to develop a socio-environmental systems framework for informing coastal habitat restoration decisions under climate change. At UC Davis, the grant supports coordination of scuba diving research at multiple northern...
- This $310,905 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program aims to assess the potential for the subtropical seagrass Halodule wrightii (shoal grass) to expand its range and replace the temperate Zostera marina (eelgrass) as the dominant habitat-forming seagrass along the U.S. Atlantic coast. The research will examine the eco-evolutionary mechanisms underlying the colonization potential of H. wrightii, which is increasing in...
- This $300,753 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences will fund research into plant-fungal associations between seagrasses and marine fungi under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). Over a two-year period from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2024, the Regents of the University of California at Riverside will analyze publicly available data and conduct culture-dependent and -independent methods to characterize the phenotypic and functional diversity...
- This $300,072 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project to investigate the environmental drivers and impacts of Diadematidae scuticociliatosis, a disease affecting the long-spined sea urchin Diadema antillarum in the Caribbean. The research, led by the University of the Virgin Islands, combines field monitoring, laboratory experiments, and molecular analysis to understand how the pathogenic ciliate,...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $3 million Project Grant to the Virginia Institute of Marine Science under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to study biotic and abiotic drivers of pathogen transmission in marine systems influenced by climate change. Specifically, the award will fund research examining how climate change and other human impacts alter disease transmission dynamics in marine populations. The project focuses on investigating the...
- This Project Grant award of $351,696 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project led by Cornell University to investigate the drivers of a globally significant marine disease affecting the long-spined sea urchin Diadema antillarum. The project aims to unravel the relationships between the causative ciliate pathogen, environmental conditions, and the urchin microbiome to better understand and potentially mitigate future urchin...
