This $482,474 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences (CFDA 47.050 - Geosciences) to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) will fund a 3-year study to conduct observing system simulation experiments (OSSEs) using advanced ocean biogeochemical models. The goal is to improve understanding of the potential for iron fertilization to sequester carbon in the Southern Ocean, Equatorial Pacific, and Northeast Pacific. The OSSEs will leverage...
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $587,486 Project Grant under the Cooperative Institute (Inter-Agency Funded Activities) program (CFDA 11.405) to The Trustees of Princeton University Office of Research and Project Administration (Princeton University). The grant supports research to investigate the role of benthic biogeochemical cycles and benthic food webs on two marine carbon dioxide removal strategies: kelp aquaculture and cessation of trawling. The project...
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded a $113,971 cooperative agreement to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024 under the Ocean Acidification Program. The award will support evaluating vulnerability of traditional and emerging coastal Alaska industries to ocean acidification and potential interactions among these industries. The Ocean Acidification Program plays an integral role in maintaining long-term monitoring of ocean...
This $145,321 federal Cooperative Agreement award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Ocean Acidification Program (CFDA 11.017) supports researchers at the University of New Hampshire (UNH) to investigate surface, subsurface, and bottom water chemistry and biological processes related to ocean acidification. The project, led by Dr. Chris Hunt, will set up and operate an underway total alkalinity analyzer to assess sensitivity of surface waters to carbon...
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $1,010,616 Cooperative Agreement under the Climate and Atmospheric Research program (CFDA 11.431) to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to investigate the seasonal and interannual variability of the shelfbreak front in the northwest Atlantic Ocean. The study aims to develop a front index and use it to examine models for forecasting the position of the front, which is linked to environmental stresses on shelf...
This Project Grant award for $540,281 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project between U.S. and U.K. scientists to better understand the linkages between the oceanic cycles of iron and carbon. The research aims to characterize the "colloidal shunt" mechanism, whereby dissolved iron forms aggregates with organic carbon to create particulate matter that sinks out of the upper water column. The project will...
The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution was awarded a two-year, $280,414 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will support research to synthesize and re-evaluate existing coral-based reconstructions of surface ocean pH over the last 300 years. The Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. The products of this funding...
The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution received a $598,499 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences on October 1, 2021 to complete the project by September 30, 2023. The grant supports research into cobalt biogeochemical cycling and phytoplankton protein biomarkers in the Pacific and Southern Oceans under the Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050). This program aims to expand fundamental Earth systems knowledge through basic research in atmospheric,...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $417,619 to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) for a 2-year research project investigating the physical mechanisms that contribute to episodic primary production and carbon sequestration at Antarctic Circumpolar Current fronts in the Southern Ocean. The project will leverage high-resolution data and satellite-derived measurements to develop a better understanding of how these...
