- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded the University of Washington $441,394 on September 1, 2026, to measure salt marsh geomorphic response to rapid sea-level rise using the 1700 Cascadia earthquake as a natural laboratory. The research will use stratigraphic analysis and age-dating of sediment cores from the Cascadia margin integrated with numerical modeling to quantify lag times between coseismic subsidence and salt marsh reestablishment of dynamic equilibrium with...
- The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded Brown University $688,223 on July 15, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to investigate coupled atmospheric and oceanic processes driving sea level extremes in New England. Performance runs through June 30, 2029, with work based in Providence, Rhode Island. The project develops statistical and machine learning models to quantify predictability of extreme coastal flooding using large-scale climate and...
- The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution $990,230 on July 15, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to investigate coastal sea-level rise, high-tide flooding, and local ocean dynamics along U.S. coastlines. The project analyzes how river discharge, shelf-break water exchange, and shelf warming affect coastal sea-level trends and high-tide flooding events on timescales ranging from less than one day to more than...
- 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...
- 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 Office of Integrative Activities awarded the University of Rhode Island $2.52 million on September 1, 2026, under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to lead the ECOCARE (Ecological-Economic Collaboratory for Advancing Coastal Wetland Restoration and Resilience) project, a transdisciplinary research initiative addressing coastal wetland restoration capacity building across Rhode Island and Louisiana. The project will develop innovative methods in...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $261,123 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Oregon (UO) to conduct a comprehensive study of the Cascadia subduction zone, focusing on seismic and tsunami activity around the year 1700 CE. The key objectives are to: Map high-resolution paleotsunami deposits at two key locations along the Cascadia subduction zone, and Execute thousands of advanced tsunami inundation models to test hypotheses about...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded the Smithsonian Institution $600,000 on June 1, 2026, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct long-term experimental manipulation of tidal marsh ecosystems. The project extends a forty-year record of plant, microbe, and soil responses to environmental manipulation and fertilization at a tidal marsh field site. The work examines how atmospheric carbon dioxide, nutrients, plant traits, and water...
- This $499,225 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research project between Old Dominion University Research Foundation and the United States Department of Geological Survey to decipher drivers and variability in salt marsh lateral carbon export. Over three years, the researchers will investigate how elevation within the tidal frame influences dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, and dissolved organic carbon export...
- This $329,272 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to investigate the impacts of sea level rise on stemflow dynamics and associated hydrological and biogeochemical processes in coastal forests along the Atlantic seaboard. The University of Delaware, as the prime awardee, will use field measurements, laboratory analyses, and statistical modeling to understand how changes in stemflow (precipitation channeled down tree...
