This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, a private non-profit research organization. The $1,429,983.00 grant is for the Exports Processes in the Ocean from Remote Sensing (EXPORTS) program, which aims to develop a predictive mechanistic understanding of the export and fate of fixed carbon from global ocean primary production. The project will involve large-scale field campaigns using...
This is a $135,000.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), a private, non-profit research organization. The grant is for a project that uses NASA's scatterometer wind and ocean color datasets, in-situ observations, and numerical models to improve predictions of primary productivity in coastal upwelling regions by considering the source depth of upwelled water. The award has a period of performance ending...
This federal contract award, valued at $1,190,981.00, was granted to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), a private non-profit research organization, by the National Science Foundation (NSF), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The award supports the Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry (OCB) program, which was established in 2006 to promote, plan, and coordinate multidisciplinary activities and research...
NASA awarded a $320,229.76 research grant to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) effective January 1, 2020, with completion targeted for December 31, 2024. The grant directly addresses NASA's Call Priority #1 and supports the agency's Physical Oceanography and Climate Variability Research (CLIVAR) objectives by investigating the ocean's role in global heat balance and climate variability. The research will be conducted at WHOI's Woods Hole, Massachusetts facility, with no set-aside...
This is a $150,000.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) for a research project titled "TUNNELS IN THE OCEAN: FOLLOWING CLIMATE SIGNALS FROM THE SUBTROPICS TO THE TROPICS". The award, which does not have a set-aside designation, will support WHOI's research related to ocean climate signals and circulation from the subtropics to the tropics. WHOI is a private, non-profit research organization...
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, to explore photochemical processes involved in the formation of manganese oxides. The award, valued at $883,690, will support this oceanographic research project over a period of approximately 4.5 years, with a final completion date of July 14, 2025. The award is not associated with a set-aside designation. WHOI is a...
This is a grant award from the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), a private, non-profit research organization. The grant, valued at $487,532.00, is for research to investigate trends in sea ice thickness, in contrast to the well-documented declines in the Arctic. The award does not have a set-aside designation. WHOI is the prime awardee and will conduct the research at its facilities in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. The...
This federal contract award is a grant for $138,367.00 from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), a private non-profit research organization. The grant is for a project titled "VULNERABILITY OF GIANT KELP POPULATIONS TO CLIMATE CHANGE: BIOSCAPE AUGMENTATION" and has a period of performance ending on July 14, 2026. WHOI is a leading independent oceanographic research institution that has...
This federal contract award to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), a private non-profit research organization, is for the Sub-Mesoscale Ocean Dynamics Experiment (S-MODE) project. The award of $6,059,991 from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will test the hypothesis that submesoscale ocean dynamics make important contributions to vertical exchange of climate and biological variables in the upper ocean. The project will use a combination of in situ and...
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 high-resolution measurements to study the role of mesoscale and submesoscale processes in upper ocean ecosystem dynamics and carbon flux. The research aims to provide guidance for in situ process studies, such as the upcoming EXPORTS field campaign, by evaluating sampling strategies and the ability to reconstruct hotspots in net community production using satellite data. This award is not associated with a set-aside designation and is not part of a larger contract vehicle.
