The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded $392,354 to The University of Kentucky Research Foundation under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct collaborative research examining climate change impacts on functional biodiversity at Lake Tanganyika, Africa. The two-year project, which commenced October 1, 2025 and concludes September 30, 2027, will deliver comprehensive scientific research utilizing sedimentary records, fossil analysis, and genomic tools to assess how aquatic food webs respond to various climate change scenarios in this critical tropical lake ecosystem. The primary research products include historical experiments tracking functional biodiversity across the lake using integrated geochemical, paleontological, and genomic methodologies to evaluate community structures and functions under different climate conditions. The project will generate data on the physical and physiological responses of economically valuable fish species and other organisms to temperature and precipitation changes, with deliverables designed to inform fisheries and ecosystem management practices across the four nations dependent on Lake Tanganyika's fisheries. Additionally, the award includes substantial international partnership activities focused on student training, workshops, and public education materials, strengthening scientific capacity building in the region.Federal Grant Award Summary
