Project Grant 2048840
- This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs, totaling $107,969, will fund research at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography to quantify the impacts of mesoscale eddy processes on ocean carbon content and air-sea carbon dioxide fluxes in the Southern Ocean. The researchers will use the 1/6-degree resolution Southern Ocean State Estimate bioogeochemical model to explore relationships between eddies, ocean carbon content, and air-sea CO2 fluxes....
- The University of South Florida received a $339,608 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation to conduct spectrophotometric determinations of carbonic acid dissociation constants for estuarine conditions from February 1, 2021 through January 31, 2024. As part of the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the university will strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research aimed at better quantifying carbonic acid dissociation constants under estuarine...
- The University of South Carolina received a $147,450 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research exploring the dynamics of nitrous oxide in the Southern Benguela upwelling system from May 1, 2023 to April 30, 2027. The university will investigate nitrous oxide cycling in the region, estimate sea-to-air fluxes of nitrous oxide to the atmosphere, and examine what drives changes in nitrous...
- The University of South Florida (USF) received a $287,297 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs. The CFDA program is 47.078 - Polar Programs, which aims to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the polar regions through basic research. The grant funds a project to develop a workflow for analyzing metabolites in archival marine invertebrate specimens held at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. The project leverages...
- This $508,887 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund collaborative research to understand massive phytoplankton blooms over the Australian-Antarctic Ridge. The University of Washington will lead efforts to study how hydrothermal activity stimulates large phytoplankton blooms in this region of the Southern Ocean, and impacts the carbon cycle. Over a three-year period, researchers will conduct satellite-based observations, numerical modeling,...
- This $206,966 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research at Florida State University to quantify mixing and eddy statistics within the Weddell Gyre of the Southern Ocean. Over the award period from March 2022 through February 2025, the grantee will track 153 RAFOS-enabled Argo floats in ice-covered regions of the Weddell Gyre. Using the resultant float tracks along with other available Argo...
- The University of South Florida received a three-year, $352,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant funds collaborative research on dissolved concentrations, isotopes, and colloids of the bioactive trace metals. The Geosciences program supports basic research to strengthen understanding of Earth's integrated system. This award will further such understanding through research on key trace metal...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $447,531 project grant to the University of South Florida (USF) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The project, titled "Collaborative Research: Detached Eddy Simulation of Nearshore Langmuir Circulation," aims to numerically investigate the structure and intensity of Langmuir turbulence and its impact on cross-shore scalar transport in shallow coastal shelf environments. The research will utilize turbulent eddy-resolving...
- This $212,172 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs aims to improve understanding of how different phytoplankton species affect carbon fluxes in the Southern Ocean. The researchers from the University of Washington will map phytoplankton community composition and characterize the physical environment to estimate how much carbon enters the ocean, is exported to the deep ocean, and the total amount of phytoplankton. By synthesizing modeled...
- This $433,991 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research by the University of South Florida to investigate whether the deep Indian Ocean served as an anomalous carbon reservoir during the last Ice Age. The researchers will analyze microscopic fossils in sediment cores to determine if deep Indian Ocean waters were significantly older in radiocarbon content, which could indicate substantial carbon storage in this...
The University of South Florida received a $1,097,509 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation on June 1, 2021 to fund research titled "The Role of Cyclonic Upwelling Eddies in Southern Ocean CO2 Flux." The grant is part of NSF's Polar Programs, which supports basic research focused on expanding fundamental knowledge of polar regions. Under the three-year award concluding on May 31, 2024, the University of South Florida will investigate how cyclonic eddies impact carbon dioxide flux in the Southern Ocean. A $250,000 sub-award was provided to the University of Washington to support related research efforts. The funding will allow both institutions to advance scientific understanding of ocean-atmosphere carbon exchange dynamics in this climatically important region.
