About this award
This is a $135,000 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), a private research university, to conduct research on the outsized impact of the Southern Ocean on Earth's climate. The grant supports Caltech's work to study how deep water is ventilated at the ocean surface and how intermediate water masses formed from air-sea-ice interactions are subducted into the ocean interior. This research aligns with NASA's broader mission to understand Earth's climate system. Caltech has received over $500 million in prime federal contract awards over the past 5 years, primarily from NASA and the Department of Defense, to provide a wide range of scientific research, engineering, and technical services. The contract does not have a set-aside designation.
Description
The southern ocean has an outsized impact on earth s climate as IT is the principal site where deep water is ventilated at the ocean surface and intermediate water masses, formed from air-sea-ICE interactions, are subducted into the interior.
