This is a $91,597.86 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Delaware. The purpose is to support a Ph.D. student's research on changes in global ocean salinity and related dynamical processes, with the goal of improving understanding of how the deep and abyssal oceans respond to changing surface forcing. The award will fund the student's work, including data analysis, travel to conferences, and enhanced training to become an...
This is a $409,727.04 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of South Florida (USF) in Tampa, Florida. The grant is for a research project titled "Improving Altimetry's Non-Tidal High-Frequency Ocean De-Aliasing Correction Through the Inclusion of GRACE Data."
The project aims to develop new, high-resolution gravity time series from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite data to improve the accuracy of...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Oregon State University (OSU) for $226,912.00 to continue studying ocean surface tides and internal tides using satellite altimeter data, other data sources, and numerical modeling. The research builds on OSU's current work in this area and aims to produce highly accurate global tidal atlases, clarify the stationarity of internal tides, and better understand the role of tidal energy...
This is a $212,801.89 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Old Dominion University Research Foundation (ODURF), a non-profit organization affiliated with Old Dominion University. The grant supports research focused on the Alaska coastline, including coastal lagoons that are part of the new Beaufort Lagoon Ecosystems Long-Term Ecological Research site. The award has a performance period ending on March 14, 2024 and does not utilize any set-aside...
This is a $1,122,173.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Old Dominion University Research Foundation (ODURF) for a research project on "blue carbon" sequestration in submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) ecosystems. The project will monitor the distribution and abundance of SAV in the Chesapeake Bay region using remote sensing, and link these measurements to blue carbon burial rates. The research aims to improve understanding of how...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $352,133.54 grant for research to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (SUNY), doing business as Sponsored Projects Services. The grant is part of NASA's Sea-level Change Team (N-SLCT) solicitation and aims to contribute to characterizing current changes in sea level, understanding the underlying processes, improving knowledge of ice mass change, and projecting future sea level rise. The Research...
This is a $596,241.98 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to study the vulnerability of major U.S. coastal cities to storm surge flooding due to rising sea levels and coastal subsidence. The methods will involve analyzing tide gauge records, using a regional ocean model, and leveraging Global Positioning System (GPS) and Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) data to quantify vertical land motion along...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Old Dominion University Research Foundation (ODURF) for a project titled "Understanding Sea Level Over the Last Century: What Do We Really Know?". The grant, valued at $145,243.96, aims to critically assess historical tide gauge data to improve understanding of sea level variability over the past century and provide better context for the satellite altimeter record. The project seeks to create a new tide gauge dataset using innovative analysis techniques to compute long-term global mean sea level trends and quantify uncertainties in the historical record. This work is intended to enhance both sea level reconstructions and the interpretation of the satellite altimeter data, which is becoming increasingly important as the altimeter record continues to lengthen. The grant does not have a set-aside designation.
