Consistent with this focus, Columbia University utilized the funding to purchase...
This $213,500 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) is funding Columbia University to purchase a new Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) system for the university's research vessel, the R/V Marcus G. Langseth. The CTD system will be used to collect high-quality oceanographic data, including temperature and salinity profiles, in support of NSF-funded research projects conducted on the Langseth. This award provides critical scientific...
This $6,050,000 Cooperative Agreement, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will fund the operation of the research vessel R/V Thomas G. Thompson by the University of Washington (UW) from 2025 through 2028. The funds will enable UW to conduct oceanographic research missions in support of NSF-approved scientific proposals, providing essential seagoing facilities and marine equipment for investigators and faculty to expand knowledge of the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $541,948 Cooperative Agreement to the University of Washington (UW) to support oceanographic technical services on the R/V Thomas G. Thompson and R/V Rachel Carson research vessels operated as part of the U.S. Academic Research Fleet. Under this 5-year award, which began on March 1, 2025, UW will provide shipboard technicians to maintain, calibrate, and provide access to shared-use research instrumentation for NSF-funded oceanographic research...
