- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $601,138 Project Grant under its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct research on the nonlinearity and feedbacks in the atmospheric circulation response to increased carbon dioxide (CO2). The research aims to understand the mechanisms driving differences in circulation changes across climate models and the causes of nonlinear responses, such as the rapid weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning...
- The University of Connecticut received a three-year, $451,999 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research on ocean circulation patterns during the Last Glacial Maximum. The university will use oxygen isotope analysis of microfossils from marine sediment cores to reconstruct Atlantic Ocean circulation approximately 20,000 years ago and determine whether southern or northern water masses dominated the deep...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $508,160 in funding to Rutgers, The State University to conduct collaborative research on long-term changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels during past warm periods. The project aims to reconstruct the movement of the Southern Westerly Winds and evaluate its impact on the Southern Ocean's biological carbon pump and atmospheric CO2 concentrations over the last 900,000 years. The...
- The University of Connecticut will receive $289,433 under a three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs to conduct collaborative research titled "Peripheral East Antarctic Ice as a Unique Recorder of Climate Variability During the Last Interglacial." The grant was awarded on August 15, 2021 with a completion date of July 31, 2024. The research aims to strengthen understanding of the polar regions by expanding knowledge of climate variability...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $374,314 to Yale University to investigate changes in carbon uptake and storage in the Pacific Ocean during the Pliocene era, around 3 million years ago, as an analog for understanding the ocean's response to modern climate warming. The researchers will use data and models to quantify the impacts of temperature-sensitive mechanisms, such as circulation changes and biological processes,...
- The University of Connecticut received a $899,677 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant 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. Under the award, the University of Connecticut will partner with the University of South Carolina to measure nitrous oxide concentrations and sea-to-air...
The University of Connecticut was awarded a $329,753 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences on May 15, 2021 for research titled "Collaborative Research: Sensitivity of Walker Circulation to CO2 Forcing During the Late Pliocene as an Analogue for Future Climate Change." The research is being conducted under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050), which supports basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system. Through this three-year award concluding on April 30, 2024, the University will investigate the sensitivity of atmospheric circulation patterns in the tropical Pacific to increased carbon dioxide levels using climate conditions during the Late Pliocene epoch as an analogue for potential future climate change impacts. Insights gained from this collaborative research project will enhance understanding of climate feedbacks and variability that could result from rising atmospheric CO2 levels.
