- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $199,948 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The grant, effective October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024, will support research examining the ecological impacts of the 2023 Lahaina, Maui wildfire on nearby coral reef ecosystems. The project employs a "before-after control-impact" design to compare affected and unaffected reefs, focusing on the effects of runoff containing...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $200,000 Project Grant under the Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program to the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The grant funds a rapid response study to assess the impacts of a recent wildfire disaster in Lahaina, West Maui, Hawaii. The research team will collect field data on water quality, sediment fluxes, and soil/ash samples to document the post-wildfire runoff dynamics, sedimentation, and contaminant transport in the coastal urban...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $168,845 to the University of Hawaii at Manoa aims to advance the understanding of the subseasonal-to-seasonal variability of wildfires in Hawaii and improve the accuracy of long-term wildfire forecasting. The research will use a combination of historical data and reanalysis techniques to quantify the variability of wildfires and fire weather in Hawaii, and identify the climatic factors contributing...
- This $200,000 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering Directorate (CFDA 47.041) to the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The goal is to evaluate the immediate and long-term impacts of the 2023 Maui wildfires on the chemical and microbiological quality of nearby beach and coastal waters. The project will collect and analyze environmental samples, including sediments, surface water, and groundwater, to characterize the extent and mechanisms of contaminant...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program Project Grant award of $200,000 provides funding to the University of Hawaii (UH) at Manoa to enhance capacity and facilitate an equitable response to water contamination issues resulting from the wildfires in Maui, Hawaii in August 2023. The project will leverage prior work on water contamination response and community collaborations to: Develop innovative approaches to predict and detect the extent and distribution of...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $370,100 awarded to the University of Rhode Island from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2024 will fund research investigating the impacts of ocean warming on the symbiotic nutritional exchange between microbes and reef-building corals during early life stages. As part of the Geosciences program under the CFDA 47.050, the awardee will characterize the development of the coral-algal symbiosis across life histories in Hawaiian and French...
- This $300,539 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research at Oregon State University to investigate the impacts of wildfire ash deposition on surface ocean biology and carbon/energy transfer. The key products and services to be delivered include: Mechanistic studies to quantify the physiological responses (e.g. growth, productivity, cellular stoichiometry) of phytoplankton and bacterioplankton to different types of wildfire...
- This National Science Foundation project grant of $298,357 supports research investigating coral demographic processes and their interaction with climate change and local stressors to influence coral recovery trajectories. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will support analysis of time series coral size-frequency data across four Pacific regions to assess demographic rates following bleaching events and evaluate their importance in driving recovery dynamics....
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $270,278 to the University of Rhode Island will support research to better understand the long-term relationship between climate and fire activity in the eastern United States. The project aims to analyze sediment records spanning the Holocene (last ~12,000 years) to compare historical fire and climate patterns prior to significant human impacts. This empirical data will be used to quantify...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program has awarded a $1,481,468 Project Grant to Arizona State University (ASU) to expand the university's Ridge to Reef Restoration Center in Hawaii. The funding will establish ASU's facility as a global hub for coral reef research, enabling large-scale, interdisciplinary studies on coral resilience to climate stressors and ecosystem-scale restoration. Key infrastructure improvements include...
