EXCELLENCE IN RESEARCH - GENOMIC INFERENCES OF ADAPTATION IN AN ANTARCTIC TOP PREDATOR: THE LEOPARD SEAL (EIR-GIANT) -MARINE MAMMALS ARE ICONIC REPRESENTATIVES OF GLOBAL MARINE BIODIVERSITY THAT PROVIDE EXCEPTIONAL EXAMPLES OF MAMMALIAN ADAPTATIONS TO EXTREME HABITATS WORLDWIDE. THESE ADAPTATIONS HAVE CAPTURED THE HUMAN IMAGINATION FOR CENTURIES AND INCLUDE SPECIALIZED SKIN TISSUES, LIMB MORPHOLOGY, SOUND PRODUCTION, OXYGEN STORAGE AND FEEDING STRATEGIES. ANTARCTIC ICE SEALS HAVE REMARKABLE ABILITIES TO SURVIVE IN EXTREMELY COLD WATERS, AND UNDERSTANDING HOW THESE ADAPTATIONS EVOLVED WILL ALLOW BETTER PREDICTIONS OF THEIR RESPONSE TO CLIMATE CHANGE. IMPORTANTLY, STUDYING ANIMAL ADAPTATIONS CAN LEAD TO INVALUABLE UNFORESEEN DISCOVERIES IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (E.G., ENGINEERING, MEDICINE, OCEANOGRAPHY). ONE OF THE OBJECTIVES OF THIS WORK IS TO RAISE PUBLIC AWARENESS OF THE FAR-REACHING EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE. THE RESULTS OF THIS PROJECT WILL BE DISSEMINATED BY SOCIAL MEDIA AND BROADCASTING A SERIES OF PROFESSIONALLY PRODUCED VIDEOS THAT EXPLAIN THE VALUE OF GENOMIC APPROACHES TO EXAMINE THE COMPLEXITY OF POLAR ECOSYSTEMS AND THEIR ROLE IN MAINTAINING GLOBAL BIODIVERSITY. THIS PROJECT IS ALSO CRITICAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND SUSTAINABILITY OF ONE OF THE ONLY ACTIVE POLAR RESEARCH PROGRAMS AT A HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGE/ UNIVERSITY, WHICH WILL DIRECTLY INCREASE THE INCLUSION OF UNDERREPRESENTED STUDENTS IN POLAR AND MARINE MAMMAL RESEARCH. PROVIDING TRAINING TO YOUNG SCIENTISTS IN THE GROWING FIELD OF GENOMICS, WILL ULTIMATELY ENHANCE AND DIVERSIFY THE NATIONAL TALENT POOL IN STEM. LEOPARD SEALS AND WEDDELL SEALS ARE SISTER ANTARCTIC ICE SEAL SPECIES THAT DIVERGED ROUGHLY FOUR MILLION YEARS AGO. THEY OCCUPY THE SAME ENVIRONMENT BUT HAVE KEY BEHAVIORAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL DIFFERENCES, E.G., IN DEEP DIVING AND DIET. THIS PROJECT LEVERAGES THE RECENT SHARED ANCESTRY OF WEDDELL AND LEOPARD SEALS TO INVESTIGATE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PHENOTYPIC AND GENOMIC/EPIGENOMIC DIVERSITY IN THESE SPECIES. SPECIFICALLY, THE GOALS OF THIS RESEARCH ARE TO (1) OBTAIN A COMPLETE GENOME ASSEMBLY AND ANNOTATION OF THE LEOPARD SEAL GENOME (THE WEDDELL SEAL GENOME IS ALREADY AVAILABLE); (2) CONDUCT A COMPARATIVE GENOMIC ANALYSIS OF LEOPARD AND WEDDELL SEALS TO DETECT DIFFERENCES IN THE EXPANSION AND/OR CONTRACTION OF GENE FAMILIES, POSITIVELY SELECTED AND RAPIDLY EVOLVING GENES BETWEEN THE TWO SPECIES, WITH A FOCUS ON DEEP DIVING PHENOTYPES; AND 3) CHARACTERIZE MICRORNAS IN ANTARCTIC PINNIPED SPECIES TO IDENTIFY ADAPTIVE DIFFERENCES THAT MATCH HABITAT SPECIALIZATIONS. THIS APPROACH, USING TANDEM GENOMIC AND EPIGENOMIC DATA SETS, PROVIDES A SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTION TO OUR UNDERSTANDING OF POLAR MAMMAL ADAPTATIONS AND TIMELY PREDICTIVE DATA ON THEIR POTENTIAL FOR ADAPTING TO CLIMATE CHANGE. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.- SUBAWARDS ARE NOT PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.

COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: BUILDING RACIAL EQUITY IN MARINE SCIENCE -OCEAN SCIENCE IS ONE OF THE LEAST DIVERSE SCIENCES IN THE UNITED STATES. YET THE COMPLEX AND PRESSING ISSUES FACING THE OCEAN AND THE NEEDS OF OCEAN-DEPENDENT COMMUNITIES REQUIRE AN OCEAN-LITERATE SOCIETY WITH DIVERSE EXPERTISE, RACIAL IDENTITIES, AND EXPERIENCES. THIS PROJECT COMBINES THE STRENGTHS OF TWO ENTITIES, HAMPTON UNIVERSITY AND BLACK IN MARINE SCIENCE, TO INCREASE THE PARTICIPATION OF BLACK PEOPLE IN MARINE SCIENCE RELATED FIELDS AND CREATE A SENSE OF BELONGING THROUGH CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE AND JUSTICE-CENTERED PROGRAMMING. THIS PROJECT IS DESIGNED TO BOOST OCEAN LITERACY AND RESEARCH WITHIN BLACK AND OTHER MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES AND EQUIP PEOPLE WITH TOOLS TO SOLVE PROBLEMS IN THEIR CHANGING ENVIRONMENT. THE PROJECT WILL (1) ATTRACT HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS OF COLOR INTO MARINE SCIENCE RELATED FIELDS, (2) ENGAGE UNDERGRADUATES THROUGH A CULTURALLY RELEVANT CURRICULUM, (3) SUPPORT UNDERGRADUATES AND GRADUATES DEVELOP PROFESSIONAL SKILLS AND BUILD THEIR IDENTITY AS SCIENTISTS, (4) PREPARE UNDERGRADUATES FOR MARINE SCIENCE-RELATED AND STEM CAREERS, AND (5) INTRODUCE BOTH HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AND UNDERGRADUATES TO RESEARCH. ALL ACTIVITIES WILL BE IMPLEMENTED USING EQUITABLE STEM TEACHING TOOLS (CULTURAL PEDAGOGIES, MULTI-GENERATIONAL LEARNING, SUPPORTING DIVERSE SENSE-MAKING, CENTERING RACIAL JUSTICE, MEANINGFUL PHENOMENA, AND PLACE-BASED LEARNING). THIS PROJECT AIMS TO ANSWER THE OVERARCHING RESEARCH QUESTION: HOW DOES PARTICIPATION IN THE DESIGNED PROJECT ACTIVITIES IMPROVE OUTCOMES AND INCREASE RACIAL EQUITY FOR BLACK PEOPLE? THE RESEARCH TEAM WILL COLLECT DATA ON THE EXPERIENCES AND IMPACTS ON PARTICIPANTS TO UNDERSTAND HOW DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF THE PROJECT AFFECT THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF AND SENSE OF BELONGING IN MARINE SCIENCES. THE INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL EVALUATION OF THE PROJECT WILL UTILIZE A CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE AND EQUITY-FOCUSED APPROACH, MIXED-METHODS (QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE) DATA COLLECTION STRATEGIES, AND APPLY AN EDUCATIVE AND VALUES-ENGAGED LENS. THESE METHODS WILL PROVIDE RICHER DATA, ALLOW FOR BETTER DATA TRIANGULATION, HIGHER MULTICULTURAL VALIDITY, AND PRODUCE MORE NUANCED EVALUATION RESULTS. THE BROADER IMPACTS OF THIS PROJECT INCLUDE SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS WITH KEY FINDINGS FROM THE EVALUATIONS, CONFERENCE, AND COMMUNITY PRESENTATIONS TO HIGHLIGHT THE STRENGTH AND WEAKNESSES OF THE PROGRAMMING, CURRICULUM ACCESSIBLE TO TEACHERS AND LASTLY, DATA ON ATTRACTION, RETENTION, AND SENSE OF BELONGING OF PARTICIPANTS. THIS PROJECT IS FUNDED BY THE RACIAL EQUITY IN STEM EDUCATION ACTIVITY (EDU RACIAL EQUITY). THE ACTIVITY SUPPORTS PROJECTS THAT PROMOTE RACIAL EQUITY IN SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, AND MATHEMATICS (STEM) EDUCATION AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT THROUGH RESEARCH AND PRACTICE. AWARDED PROJECTS CENTER THE VOICES, KNOWLEDGE, AND EXPERIENCES OF THE INDIVIDUALS, COMMUNITIES, AND INSTITUTIONS MOST IMPACTED BY THE INEQUITIES CAUSED BY SYSTEMIC RACISM IN STEM FIELDS. THIS ACTIVITY ALIGNS WITH NSF?S CORE VALUE OF SUPPORTING OUTSTANDING RESEARCHERS AND INNOVATIVE THINKERS FROM ACROSS THE NATION?S DIVERSITY OF DEMOGRAPHIC GROUPS, REGIONS, AND TYPES OF ORGANIZATIONS. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.

NSF-BSF: PRECISION SCATTERING OF LOW-ENERGY MUONS, ELECTRONS, AND PIONS WITH MUSE -THIS AWARD PROVIDES FUNDING FOR THE PI AND HIS GROUP AT HAMPTON UNIVERSITY, A HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY (HBCU) IN VIRGINIA, USA TO COLLABORATE ON A HIGH PRECISION EXPERIMENT TO MEASURE THE PROTON?S CHARGE RADIUS. THE EXPERIMENT IS CALLED THE MUON SCATTERING EXPERIMENT (MUSE) AND IS IN PROGRESS AT PAUL-SCHERRER INSTITUTE IN SWITZERLAND. THE SIZE OF THE PROTON IS A FUNDAMENTAL QUANTITY WITH CONSIDERABLE UNCERTAINTY DUE TO CONFLICTING MEASUREMENTS BY VARIOUS METHODS. THE MUSE EXPERIMENT WILL MEASURE THE PROTON CHARGE RADIUS VIA LEPTON-PROTON ELASTIC SCATTERING, AND IT WILL COMPARE THE INTERACTIONS OF MUONS AND ELECTRONS OF EITHER CHARGE WITH THE PROTON AT A FUNDAMENTAL LEVEL. THE EXPERIMENT WILL SEVERELY CONSTRAIN POSSIBLE EXPLANATIONS OF THE CONFLICTING RESULTS AND HAS THE POTENTIAL TO REVEAL NEW PHYSICS BEYOND THE STANDARD MODEL. THE PROJECT OFFERS HIGH-PROFILE OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS AND POSTDOCS AT A MINORITY SERVING INSTITUTION AT THE FOREFRONT OF INTERNATIONAL NUCLEAR AND PARTICLE PHYSICS RESEARCH. THE MUSE EXPERIMENT IS UNDERWAY TO PROVIDE KEY INSIGHT IN THE QUEST TO EXPLAIN THE SO-CALLED PROTON RADIUS PUZZLE - THE OVER FIVE-STANDARD DEVIATION DISCREPANCY BETWEEN PROTON CHARGE RADIUS MEASUREMENTS WITH ELECTRONIC AND MUONIC PROBES, RESPECTIVELY. DESPITE RECENT PROGRESS REPORTED BY SPECTROSCOPY AND SCATTERING EXPERIMENTS, THE PUZZLE IS NOT NEARLY RESOLVED BUT HIGHLIGHTS THE IMPORTANCE OF SYSTEMATIC UNCERTAINTIES. POSSIBLE EXPLANATIONS OF THE PUZZLE ALSO INCLUDE NEW PHYSICS BEYOND THE STANDARD MODEL. THE MUSE EXPERIMENT AIMS TO ADDRESS ONE OF THE MOST PRESSING QUESTIONS IN NUCLEAR AND PARTICLE SCIENCE TO DATE. MUSE USES MIXED MUON AND ELECTRON BEAMS OF EITHER CHARGE (?+/E+, ??/E?) TO MAKE PRECISE MEASUREMENTS OF THE LEPTON-PROTON ELASTIC SCATTERING CROSS SECTIONS AND PROTON FORM FACTORS OVER A BROAD KINEMATIC RANGE, WITH THE GOAL TO EXTRACT THE PROTON CHARGE RADIUS FOR EACH PROBE. IT WILL DETERMINE WITH THE HIGHEST PRECISION, MODEL INDEPENDENTLY AND CONCLUSIVELY, IF THERE IS ANY PROTON CHARGE RADIUS DIFFERENCE OBSERVED IN ELECTRON VERSUS MUON SCATTERING. AT THE SAME TIME, IT WILL DETERMINE THE ROLE OF TWO-PHOTON EXCHANGE AND PROVIDE TIGHT CONSTRAINTS ON THEORY. THE GROUP SUPPORTED BY THIS AWARD PLAYS A MAJOR ROLE IN DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS. IT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE HIGH-RESOLUTION BEAM PARTICLE TRACKING WITH GEM DETECTORS, IN A WAY NOT DONE BEFORE AT LOW BEAM ENERGIES. THE TRACKER IS EXPOSED TO HIGH RATE DENSITY AND BEAM FLUX, AND NEEDS TO OPERATE EFFICIENTLY AT A TRIGGER RATE OF A FEW KHZ. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.- SUBAWARDS ARE NOT PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.

BRC-BIO: ESTUARINE FOOD WEB RESPONSES TO URBANIZATION AND RESTORATION -OYSTER REEFS ARE CRITICAL HABITATS THAT SERVE AS NURSERY GROUNDS FOR ECONOMICALLY IMPORTANT SPECIES WHILE ALSO PROVIDING KEY ECOSYSTEM SERVICES SUCH AS SEDIMENT TRAPPING, WATER FILTRATION, AND REDUCTION OF COASTAL EROSION. YET, OYSTER REEFS HAVE DECLINED BY OVER 85% GLOBALLY IN RECENT YEARS. GIVEN THE URGENT NEED TO PROTECT AND RE-ESTABLISH OYSTER REEFS, A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE RESPONSE OF THESE FOOD WEBS TO URBANIZATION THREATS AND RESTORATION EFFORTS IS NEEDED. THIS RESEARCH WILL ASSESS THE RELATIVE IMPORTANCE OF PREDATORY CRABS IN THE FOOD WEBS OF RESTORED VERSUS DEGRADED OYSTER REEF HABITATS. THE RESULTS OF THIS RESEARCH WILL PROVIDE INSIGHTS INTO THE RESILIENCE OF COASTAL SYSTEMS AND SHOULD INFORM FUTURE RESTORATION. THIS PROJECT FEATURES GRADUATE AND UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT TRAINING, AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN IMMERSIVE COURSE-BASED UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH EXPERIENCE (CURE) WHERE STUDENTS GAIN TRAINING IN FIELD ECOLOGY, DATA VISUALIZATION, AND SCIENCE COMMUNICATION. FINDINGS FROM THIS RESEARCH WILL BE SHARED THROUGH ACADEMIC PUBLICATIONS, PUBLIC OUTREACH ACTIVITIES, AND STUDENT TRAINING PROGRAMS TO MAXIMIZE IMPACT. THIS PROJECT IS CO-FUNDED BY THE BIOLOGICAL OCEANOGRAPHY PROGRAM, POPULATION AND COMMUNITY ECOLOGY IN THE DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL BIOLOGY, AND THE HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM (HBCU-UP), WHICH PROVIDES AWARDS TO STRENGTHEN STEM UNDERGRADUATE EDUCATION AND RESEARCH AT HBCUS. ECOLOGICAL COMMUNITIES ARE COMPRISED OF MANY SPECIES IN COMPLEX WEBS OF INTERACTIONS. THESE INTERACTIONS MAY VARY AMONG ENVIRONMENTS THAT DIFFER IN THERMAL REGIME AND ACROSS AN ENVIRONMENTAL GRADIENT OF INCREASING URBANIZATION. THIS PROJECT CONNECTS THREE AIMS TO DETERMINE HOW WARMING AND URBANIZATION INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER AND WITH BODY SIZE OF CRAB PREDATORS TO AFFECT A SHIFT IN CRAB DIET WITH CASCADING EFFECTS TO THE TROPHIC, AND OVERALL COMMUNITY, STRUCTURES OF OYSTER REEFS IN ESTUARINE HABITATS. FIRST, MESOCOSM EXPERIMENTS WILL BE USED TO TEST THE HYPOTHESIS THAT TEMPERATURE AND CRAB BODY SIZE INTERACT TO INDUCE A SHIFT IN CRAB DIETS. A SECOND HYPOTHESIS WILL TEST THE STRENGTH OF PREDATION BY CRABS IN SITU USING MANIPULATIVE CAGING EXPERIMENTS ACROSS 8 PAIRED URBANIZED AND RURAL OYSTER REEFS IN THE CHESAPEAKE BAY TO EVALUATE THE EXTENT TO WHICH URBANIZATION OF ESTUARINE SITES IMPACTS COMMUNITY STRUCTURE. THE THIRD HYPOTHESIS WILL TEST WHETHER URBANIZATION OF ESTUARIES INDUCES A SHIFT IN CRAB DIETS THAT CHANGES BOTH THE STRENGTH OF PREDATION AND THE NATURE OF ESTUARINE COMMUNITY TROPHIC STRUCTURE BY COMPARING STABLE ISOTOPE RATIOS AT 8 PAIRED RESTORED AND DEGRADED OYSTER REEFS. OUTCOMES OF TESTS OF THESE THREE HYPOTHESES WILL ADVANCE UNDERSTANDING OF HOW ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES IN TEMPERATURE AND LAND USE (URBANIZATION, HABITAT RESTORATION) AFFECT THE STRENGTH OF TOP-DOWN CONTROL OF COMMUNITY STRUCTURE THROUGH SHIFTS IN CONSUMER DIETS AND HOW ALTERED TROPHIC STRUCTURE MAY, IN TURN, INFLUENCE ECOSYSTEM RESILIENCE DIFFERENTLY IN RESTORED, UNMANIPULATED OR URBANIZED HABITATS.

EXPANDING LINKS TO CAREERS IN AQUATIC SCIENCES

WE PROPOSE TO ANALYZE THE TEMPORAL EVOLUTION OF THE AFTERMATH OF SATURN S 2010-2011 GREAT STORM USING IMAGES CAPTURED BY THE IMAGING SCIENCE SUBSYSTEM (ISS) AND VISUAL AND INFRARED MAPPING SPECTROMETER (VIMS) CAMERAS ONBOARD THE CASSINI ORBITER. THE INTENSE CUMULUS CONVECTION IN THE STORM LIFTED AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF MASS FROM THE WATER CONDENSATION LEVEL ESTIMATED TO BE AT A DEPTH OF 20 BAR TO THE UPPER TROPOSPHERIC ALTITUDES ABOVE 1 BAR. CASSINI S REMOTE-SENSING INSTRUMENTS DETECTED NUMEROUS CHANGES TRIGGERED BY THE STORM IN THE CLOUD MORPHOLOGY AND THERMAL STRUCTURE. IN PARTICULAR WE WILL ANALYZE THE VAST CLOUDLESS LATITUDE BAND LEFT BEHIND THE STORM. THE FORMATION OF THIS CLOUDLESS BAND IS SURPRISING BECAUSE A CUMULUS STORM TRANSPORTS SATURATED AIR UPWARD AND FORMS CLOUDS WHILE SUCH A CLEARING IS NORMALLY ASSOCIATED WITH SUBSIDENCE RATHER THAN UPWELLING. THROUGH OUR ANALYSIS OF THE RICH CASSINI DATASETS WE WILL PRODUCE A DETAILED RECORD OF WHEN AND WHERE THE STORM S CUMULUS CONVECTION RELEASED THE LIFTED MASS AND EXAMINE THE EXPANSION OF THE POST-STORM CLEARING UNTIL THE ENTIRE LATITUDINAL ZONE BECOMES CLOUDLESS. FURTHERMORE WE WILL EXTEND THE THEORETICAL FORMULATION FOR CYCLICAL GIANT STORMS HYPOTHESIZED BY LI AND INGERSOLL (2015) TO INCLUDE THE GRADUAL CLOUD CLEARING LIKE THAT OBSERVED BY SROMOVSKY ET AL. (2016). THE MOST RECENT STORM STARTED ON DECEMBER 5TH 2010 AND THE ACTIVE CUMULUS PHASE OF THE STORM ENDED IN AUGUST 2011. THE DYNAMICS OF THE STORM WAS DOCUMENTED IN NUMEROUS PEER-REVIEWED ARTICLES INCLUDING SAYANAGI ET AL. (2013 2014) AND SANCHEZ-LAVEGA ET AL. (2018). HOWEVER THE DISTURBANCE CAUSED BY THE STORM CONTINUED TO EVOLVE LONG AFTER THE ACTIVE CONVECTIVE PHASE UNTIL THE END OF CASSINI MISSION. THE TEMPORAL CHANGES COULD BE SEEN IN A WIDE RANGE OF WAVELENGTHS BETWEEN 5-MICRON CHANNEL OF VIMS AND THE 420 NM ISS FILTER. EVEN THOUGH THE TEMPORAL EVOLUTION OF THE STORM S AFTERMATH EVOLVED THROUGHOUT THE CASSINI S SECOND EXTENDED MISSION (THE SOLSTICE MISSION ) ITS TEMPORAL EVOLUTION HAS NOT BEEN EXAMINED IN DETAIL. WE PROPOSE TO EXAMINE THE RICH DATASET RETURNED BY CASSINI ISS AND VIMS INSTRUMENTS TO CONDUCT A DETAILED INVESTIGATION OF THE TEMPORAL EVOLUTION OF THE STORM S DYNAMIC AFTERMATH. IN PARTICULAR WE WILL CHARACTERIZE EMERGENCE AND GROWTH OF THE CLOUD-FREE REGION THAT APPEARED AT THE END OF THE ACTIVE CUMULUS PHASE OF THE STORM. THROUGH THESE ANALYSES WE WILL EXAMINE THE STORM S IMPACT ON THE ATMOSPHERIC VERTICAL THERMAL STRUCTURE WHICH IN TURN WILL HELP UNDERSTAND THE MECHANISM THAT DRIVES THE STORM AS WELL AS THE STORM S ROLE IN THE ENERGY BALANCE OF THE PLANET.
