This is a $572,981.92 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of Princeton University's Office of Research and Project Administration Division for research related to the ocean's carbon cycle and its response to climate change. The grant is focused on using Earth system models (ESMs) to understand how anthropogenic climate change will impact the ocean's solubility and biological carbon pumps, which have important implications for the coupled...
This is a $430,735 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) to quantify the processes controlling the temporal variability of biosphere-atmosphere carbon dioxide (CO2) flux on seasonal and interannual timescales from 1989 to 2018. The research aims to improve predictions from Earth system models by integrating remote sensing observations, mechanistic models, and NASA's Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS-5)...
This is a $547,183.47 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) for a research project titled "Sinking Particulate Organic Matter is a Major Route of Carbon Export from the Sunlit Surface Ocean to the Ocean's Interior." The project aims to develop a mechanistic link between microbial attenuation of sinking particle flux and surface ocean properties, with the goal of creating a predictive understanding of...
This is a $206,697.88 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), to quantify global carbon cycle flux responses to climate variation and trends over the course of the Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) mission and earlier Greenhouse gases Observing SATellite (GOSAT) record. The project combines expertise in atmospheric,...
NASA awarded a $368,145 grant to Oregon State University (OSU) to study phytoplankton and their role in carbon sequestration. The research aims to improve understanding of how phytoplankton form the base of marine ecosystems and drive carbon dioxide exchange between the atmosphere and deep sea, where carbon may be stored for climatically relevant timescales. OSU will perform the work under the supervision of its parent organization, the Oregon University System. The grant has a period of...
This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), a private non-profit research organization, with a ceiling value of $566,924.08. The award is for a research project investigating physical, biological, and geochemical processes that control the transfer of carbon from the ocean surface to the deep ocean via the biological pump. The project will use a coupled physical-biogeochemical model and existing...
This is a $990,863.28 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) to study the impacts of climate change and human activities on carbon cycling in the Biscayne Bay and Tampa Bay estuaries. The primary objectives are to: (1) synthesize historical water quality data, (2) measure key carbon fluxes and stocks, (3) develop remote sensing algorithms for primary production and dissolved organic carbon, (4) create...
This is a $177,770.54 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Atmospheric & Environmental Research Inc., a for-profit corporation that provides weather and climate research services to the government. The grant supports the validation and application of data from NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) satellite in the northeastern United States. The key objectives are to: 1) assess OCO-2's ability to accurately measure regional-scale...
This federal contract award to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, operating as Columbia University, supports research to improve satellite-based measurements of ocean net primary production (NPP) and enhance understanding of the ocean's role in the global carbon cycle. The $865,926 grant is part of NASA's CMS (Carbon Monitoring System) program, which aims to promote the utility of space-based assets for studying the Earth's carbon cycle. The project will develop a novel...
This federal contract award to Princeton University, with a ceiling value of $907,170.04, is for research related to determining the relationship between primary production and net community production in the Southern Ocean. The award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and is part of the agency's Carbon Cycle Science program, which focuses on improving the understanding of the global carbon cycle. The research aims to reconcile discrepancies between...
