- The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded the University of Rhode Island $434,804 on January 1, 2027, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to quantify secondary production in complex tropical seascapes using ecosystem-level manipulations. The research team will construct artificial patch reefs of varying sizes positioned at different distances from mangroves, seagrass beds, and open ocean reefs to test how proximity to external resource subsidies and reef size...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Emerging Frontiers awarded the Regents of the University of Michigan $932,086 on December 15, 2025, to reconstruct the environmental and ecological history of Caribbean and Great Barrier Reef corals using paleoenvironmental and paleometagenomic approaches under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The research will measure the chemical composition of coral skeletons from their earliest growth to the present day to establish a history of...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $1,078,024 will fund research to reconstruct climate linkages across the tropical oceans over the last millennium through May 2025. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences, the University of Michigan will produce new paleoclimate records of sea surface temperature using the geochemistry of long-lived corals from the tropical North Atlantic and western Indian Ocean....
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $252,096 Project Grant to the University of Texas at Austin under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research quantifying energy fluxes on coral reefs from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2024. The research will combine emerging technologies to examine how characteristics of small coral reef patches such as temperature, wave energy, architecture, and cryptic species assemblages shape reliance on different organisms to sustain larger reef fishes....
- The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded The University Corporation $751,910 on August 1, 2026, to investigate ecological mechanisms preventing coral population recovery in the US Virgin Islands under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The research extends a 39-year coral reef monitoring time series and tests six integrated hypotheses within a hierarchical ecological framework to explain persistent low coral abundance on reefs. The project combines fieldwork at...
- The University of Miami (UM) has been awarded a $1,459,657 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences CFDA program. The 3-year grant will fund research to determine the metabolic carbon incorporation rate in fish carbonates and its implications for the global carbon cycle. Key objectives include refining production rate estimates and conducting detailed compositional analyses of carbonate minerals produced by marine fish species. The...
- The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded the Perry Institute for Marine Science, Inc., $1,288,526 on March 15, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to investigate approaches for strengthening coastal food systems threatened by concurrent drought and coral reef decline. The project team will work with local communities to develop new food sources, systems to retain nutrients locally, and a decision framework enabling communities to meet nutritional...
- 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...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences (Geosciences program, CFDA 47.050) awarded $440,902 to the Regents of the University of Michigan for a three-year project grant (August 1, 2025 – July 31, 2028) focused on developing wave kinetic theory to estimate turbulent dissipation in ocean environments. The primary deliverable is a process-based computational tool that parameterizes turbulent dissipation generated by internal gravity waves using...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities awarded a $1,599,400 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Michigan State University to study the transformation of integrated human and natural systems following the collapse of a socio-environmental system. The 5-year project will track changes in small-scale fishing communities and adjacent marine environments in Yucatan, Mexico after the recent collapse of the sea cucumber fishery. The research aims...
