- The National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $310,630 Project Grant to the Farallon Institute under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the collaborative research project "ULTRA-DATA: Harmonizing At-Sea Seabird Surveys at Three Marine LTER Sites to Uncover Community Responses from the Subarctic to Antarctic." This 3-year project, running from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028, aims to harmonize long-term ecological data from three marine Long-Term...
- This two-year, $486,243 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support research examining the impacts of ocean warming and thermal stratification on seabird populations globally. The Farallon Institute will analyze existing long-term data on plankton, small fish, and seabird breeding success across oceans to develop models linking thermal stratification at various ocean depths to productivity. Results aim to identify seabird species best suited...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078), aims to complement and validate the use of biologging data to identify trophic and biodiversity hotspots in the Southern Ocean. The $332,658 grant, awarded on September 1, 2025, will be executed by Triple HS, Inc. (doing business as H.T. Harvey & Associates) and is set to be completed by August 31, 2026. The project will use at-sea survey data and biologging data collected on marine...
- This three-year, $337,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund the development of zooplankton distribution models for the Antarctic Peninsula through machine learning techniques. The award recipients, the University of California Santa Cruz, will analyze long-term survey data from the Palmer Long-Term Ecological Research program to generate functional relationships between five key zooplankton species distributions and environmental...
- The University of California Santa Cruz will receive $121,510 under a three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs. The grant will fund collaborative research titled "Climate, Changing Abundance and Species Interactions of Marine Birds and Mammals at South Georgia in Winter" from September 2021 through August 2024. The research aims to strengthen understanding of the polar regions by expanding knowledge of climate impacts on marine species...
- This $860,751 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a research project conducted by the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to identify "biological hotspots" - areas of high marine productivity - in the open ocean. The project uses Northern elephant seals fitted with tracking devices as "ocean explorers" to map the 3-dimensional distribution of these hotspots, estimate fish biomass in the ocean's...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant awarded under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) federal grant program provides $666,910 to support research on the environmental drivers of giant petrel energetics and population trends in the Southern Ocean. The project, a joint effort between the NSF's Directorate for Geosciences and the UK's National Environment Research Council, aims to better understand how mechanisms such as organism interactions and physiological traits shape seabird...
- The University of California Santa Cruz will conduct collaborative research on common environmental drivers determining the occupation chronology of Adélie penguins and moss peatbanks on the Western Antarctic Peninsula under a $113,985 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs. This research supports the goals of the NSF Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to strengthen understanding of polar regions through expanded fundamental knowledge. The grant will fund...
- 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 Project Grant award of $166,238 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports a collaborative research project titled "ULTRA-DATA: Harmonizing At-Sea Seabird Surveys at Three Marine LTER Sites to Uncover Community Responses from the Subarctic to Antarctic." The project, led by the University of California, Santa Cruz, aims to harmonize ecological data from three Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) sites representing temperate, subpolar, and polar marine ecosystems. This will enable the investigators to test how seabird populations and community structure are affected by local ocean conditions and food resource availability, in the context of larger-scale processes like El Niño. The research findings will help scientists and marine stakeholders understand how changing ocean conditions and food availability impact marine biological communities across disparate regions.
