This $358,499 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research to understand the impact of warming on the structure and function of marine communities in the Northwest Atlantic Shelf region, including the Gulf of Maine and Mid-Atlantic Bight. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, through its Office of Sponsored Research, will characterize the composition and features of plankton and fish...

This $879,520 National Science Foundation award through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds a collaborative research project examining the implications of rapid Arctic change for fisheries and fishing communities in the western North Atlantic. Led by the Gulf of Maine Research Institute, the project builds a network to develop a climate vulnerability assessment and predictive models evaluating how changes in the Arctic cryosphere and ocean circulation affect ecosystem and fishery...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant in the amount of $376,582 awarded to Florida International University (FIU) will support a collaborative international research effort titled "WHALEADAPT: Adaptation of Vulnerable Subsistence-Based North Atlantic Communities to Marine Mammal Redistribution under Climate Change." The project aims to investigate the past, present, and future distribution and abundance of North Atlantic toothed...

This $293,977 project grant from the National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities will fund research into the impacts of rapid Arctic change on fisheries and fishing communities in the western North Atlantic. The award was made to Florida State University on January 1, 2023 for research to be completed by December 31, 2025. The project builds a collaborative network to develop climate vulnerability assessments and predictive models examining how shifts in Arctic ice, ocean...

This $399,710 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Office of Integrative Activities, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), supports research examining the impacts of rapid Arctic change on fisheries and fishing communities in the western North Atlantic. The Trustees of Columbia University will lead an interdisciplinary team to develop coupled atmosphere-ice-ocean-ecosystem models and bio-economic models to evaluate how changes in the Arctic cryosphere and ocean circulation...

The Louisiana State University will model changes in the distribution, phenology, and metapopulation structure of fish spawning aggregations for Nassau grouper and cubera snapper in three National Marine Sanctuaries under various climate change scenarios. Funded by the $171,930 cooperative agreement from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration under the Climate and Atmospheric Research program, LSU will use three CMIP6 climate models to assess oceanic conditions and habitat...

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded a $299,848 Project Grant to Headwaters Economics Inc. under the Climate and Atmospheric Research program. The grant will fund the development of a validated Rural Climate-Adaptive-Capacity Index for the entire United States. Headwaters Economics will use mixed methods to calibrate and validate an index of climate adaptive capacity for rural communities. Notably, the research aims to distinguish social vulnerability from adaptive...

This $394,768 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) aims to strengthen the adaptability and resilience of underserved communities to climate uncertainty through interdisciplinary research and training. The key activities include: Training minority students from underserved regions on climate change adaptation and resilience, equipping them with skills to address environmental challenges and serve the future workforce....

This cooperative agreement from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration will fund $199,994 to Antioch University New England for the NEST project under the Climate and Atmospheric Research program. The project will convene stakeholders in the Northeast region to identify research questions and strategies promoting integrated climate adaptation. It will review equity in existing regional adaptation efforts and bring together subregional networks in Vermont, New Hampshire, coastal...

This $486,990.00 Cooperative Agreement was awarded by the Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Climate and Atmospheric Research (CFDA 11.431) federal grant program. The project aims to co-develop a transferable decision framework that communities can use to assess a broad set of outcomes regarding flood adaptation choices, such as grey and green infrastructure, building retrofits, and relocation. This effort brings together expertise from two...
