This project grant supports fundamental research that combines paleoenvironmental and paleometagenomics analyses to reconstruct the environmental and ecological history of coral reef ecosystems....
- This $187,290 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant awarded to Florida International University (FIU) on December 1, 2023 aims to assess the impacts of the unprecedented 2023 marine heatwave on sponge communities in the Florida Keys coral reef ecosystem. The project has three key components: (A) field surveys to evaluate changes in sponge community structure, (B) mesocosm experiments examining the effects of elevated seawater temperatures and low...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $362,234 to Middlebury College will support research on the socio-ecological feedbacks of marine protected areas (MPAs) in Madagascar. The research will examine the relationship between ecosystem health, fisheries targets, and community engagement in MPA management and decision-making. The project aims to investigate how different levels of community participation, particularly the role of gender,...
- 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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research examining how chemical interactions between coral reef organisms, including corals, macroalgae, and encrusting algae, contribute to the success and biodiversity of economically important coral reef ecosystems. The $1,309,859 award to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution aims to advance the understanding of contact-free, chemically-based interactions between benthic organisms on...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $367,639 Project Grant to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026. The funding supports collaborative research to define the feeding behaviors and diets of herbivorous fishes on healthy coral reefs using a combination of field observations, traditional diet tracing methods, compound-specific isotopes, and...
- This $331,500 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences' project to assess the potential of artificial upwelling to mitigate coral bleaching during heat waves. The project will substantially improve understanding of how artificial upwelling could be used to mitigate coral bleaching during periods of thermal stress by investigating the effects of different upwelling scenarios (varying depths and pulse...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to investigate how spatial variations in environmental conditions contribute to the resilience of coral reef communities on the island of Moorea. The $316,457 award, effective November 1, 2024 through October 31, 2026, will leverage long-term coral community and environmental data from the Moorea Coral Reef Long-Term Ecological Research (MCR LTER) program to model the...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant of $156,445 to the Smithsonian Institution to conduct research on the effects of the 2023-2024 El Niño event on consumer interactions and marine biodiversity in the Tropical Eastern Pacific (TEP) region. This project, funded under NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will utilize short-term predator exclusion and exposure experiments to measure how increased ocean temperatures and weakened upwelling impact top-down control of...
