- 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...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences awarded the University of Connecticut a Project Grant of $400,267 under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) for collaborative research on intergenerational plasticity in rocky shore ecosystems. The three-year project, running from September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2028, will deliver fundamental scientific research examining how parental exposure to predation risk under different resource conditions...
- This $716,649 National Science Foundation Project Grant through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at the University of Rhode Island to quantify changes in ocean acidification (OA) in Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island resulting from reductions in nutrient inputs. Over the past few decades, management agencies have reduced nutrient loads to coastal waters by over one-third to improve water quality, which could lower OA levels even though that was not the initial goal....
- 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 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...
