- 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...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $1,274,370 to support collaborative research on how the world's most abundant vertebrates, lanternfishes and bristlemouths, are adapting to rapidly changing ocean conditions. The research will investigate the impacts on these crucial links in the marine food web, including changes to their populations, diets, and contribution to carbon storage in the deep ocean. The project will...
- 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...
- 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 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 $329,446 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to understand how ocean physics and animal social behaviors interact to drive predator-prey aggregations in the pelagic ocean. The project will focus on endangered blue whales and their krill prey, leveraging recent high-resolution observations of their behavior and physical oceanographic dynamics, as well as biophysical and evolutionary simulations. The...
- This $908,131 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), supports research to better understand how changing phytoplankton elemental use efficiencies may impact global ocean biogeochemistry as temperatures rise. A team of U.S. and U.K. researchers, led by the University of Southern California, will conduct laboratory experiments and field work to quantify the effects of temperature on nutrient elemental use...
- This $753,082 three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution to understand how behavioral adaptations in foraging effort by wandering albatrosses and black-browed albatrosses may mitigate population declines due to climate change. The grant funds development of eco-evolutionary matrix population models incorporating climate scenarios to forecast population trends and persistence...
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 Ecological Research (LTER) sites representing temperate, subpolar, and polar marine ecosystems. The research will test how seabird populations and community structure are affected by local ocean conditions and food resource availability, with a focus on understanding how large-scale environmental variability impacts these disparate marine ecosystems. The results will provide valuable insights for scientists and marine stakeholders on the effects of changing ocean conditions and food availability on marine biological communities.
