- The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded the Regents of the University of Michigan $951,948 on January 1, 2027, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research quantifying secondary production in complex tropical seascapes using ecosystem-level manipulations. The research team is constructing artificial reefs of varying sizes positioned at different distances from mangroves, seagrass beds, and open ocean reefs to test how proximity to these...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded $598,958 to the University of Rhode Island on August 15, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on intergenerational effects of predation risk and resource identity on rocky shore ecosystems. The project examines how parental exposure to predation risk under different resource regimes influences offspring prey fitness and how risk-induced intergenerational effects scale up to alter...
- This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program, totaling $739,133, supports collaborative research on sources and transformations of export production from coral and plankton bioarchives. The University of Rhode Island will receive funding through February 2024 to conduct a novel 50-year record of pelagic-benthic coupling by analyzing coral and plankton samples. The Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities awarded a $156,000 Project Grant to the University of Rhode Island (URI) under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083). The grant will support a 2-year postdoctoral fellowship project entitled "Do Pelagic Subsidies Modulate Coral Survivorship in a Warming Ocean?". The project aims to uncover the mechanisms by which regional oceanographic patterns, such as upwelling and internal waves, may enhance the...
- The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded the University of Rhode Island $332,242 on January 1, 2027, to develop artificial intelligence–powered tools that predict marine snow composition from underwater imagery, with performance through December 31, 2029, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The project addresses the gap between camera-based particle detection and compositional analysis of sinking marine particles. Researchers will build an interpretable...
- 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...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation awarded the University of Rhode Island (URI) Research Office Division a $199,959 grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to study the impacts of a Crown of Thorns sea star outbreak and El Niño warming on coral reproduction, recruitment, and thermal tolerance in Mo'orea, French Polynesia. The project is examining the role of lagoon reef Pocillopora spp. coral in reef recovery following these natural disturbances, including quantifying reproduction, larval...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $734,947 in funding to the University of Rhode Island to conduct collaborative research on the life cycle of phytoplankton blooms in coastal ecosystems. The research team will analyze a unique set of samples and data collected in 2021-2022 to better understand the metabolic, functional, and taxonomic interactions between phytoplankton and associated bacteria that influence the timing and...
- This $297,369 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research evaluating the contribution of small eukaryotes to nitrate-based new production in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. Over a three-year period ending November 2025, the University of Hawaii at Manoa will conduct laboratory and ship-based research to better understand how phytoplankton access subsurface nitrogen in surface waters during summer months. Researchers will sort phytoplankton...
