The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $1,485,354 Cooperative Agreement under the Ocean Exploration federal grant program (CFDA 11.011) to the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The purpose of this 2-year project is to characterize the faunal diversity of three deep-pelagic crustacean groups found in the water column from ~200 m to 2,500 m deep within the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone off Southern California. The research team...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $1,354,056 to the University of California San Diego Scripps Institution of Oceanography to jointly implement a new measurement technique called distributed acoustic sensing. This technique will generate high-resolution (10 m in space, minutes in time) images of ocean temperature and current velocity fields above a 34-km cable laid on the seafloor off the Azores islands. The goal is to...

Specifically, the award supports research to improve knowledge of how ocean surface gravity...

The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $708,509 Project Grant to Bigelow Laboratory For Ocean Sciences for research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: DYNAMIC SIMILARITY OR SIZE PROPORTIONALITY? SENSORY ECOLOGICAL ADAPTATIONS OF EUCHAETA TO VISCOSITY." The award period runs from August 15, 2021 through July 31, 2024. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050), the grantee will conduct basic research to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system...

This $406,274 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research examining submesoscale frontal dynamics and exchange processes in San Luis Obispo Bay, California. The University of California Santa Cruz will conduct high-resolution measurements of turbulent mixing using ship surveys, moorings, and hydrographic profiling to study how persistent thermal fronts are generated and dissipated downstream of...

The Department of the Navy's Office of Naval Research (ONR) awarded a $235,689 Project Grant under the Basic and Applied Scientific Research (CFDA 12.300) program to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The grant supports a 4-year research project entitled "Sea-Level Rise in the Indo-Pacific Region: Building a Framework for Interdependent Resilience" from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2028. As the prime awardee, the Scripps Institution of...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $259,278 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the Regents of the University of California, operating as the University of California, Berkeley. The "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: GEOPATHS:GO: SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING AND MATH STUDENT EXPERIENCES ABOARD SHIPS (STEMSEAS)" project aims to increase the number and diversity of students pursuing degrees and careers in the geosciences.
