This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) focuses on understanding how changing environmental conditions, particularly rising ocean temperatures, will impact marine ecosystems and the availability of marine resources. The $738,152 award, effective June 1, 2025 through May 31, 2030, supports an integrated approach that combines physiological assays, community-level experiments, and numerical modeling to forecast the effects of temperature on...
This $358,499 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research to understand the impact of warming on the structure and function of marine communities in the Northwest Atlantic Shelf region, including the Gulf of Maine and Mid-Atlantic Bight. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, through its Office of Sponsored Research, will characterize the composition and features of plankton and fish...
This $225,566 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to characterize oceanic storm systems using microseism data. The awardee, President and Fellows of Harvard College doing business as Harvard University, will establish relationships between ground motion signals recorded by seismic stations and buoys and tropical cyclone parameters like wind speed and location. This work is the first step toward developing a seismic-based...
This Project Grant award for $786,467.00, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports a collaborative research project focused on advancing the understanding of mesoscale air-sea coupling and its impact on long-term climate variability over the Southern Ocean. The project will utilize a hierarchy of coupled climate models to explore how mesoscale air-sea interactions and associated sea surface temperature anomalies affect the large-scale...
This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences provides $185,519 to The Trustees of Columbia University for collaborative research probing the ventilation efficiency of the deep ocean with conservative dissolved gas tracers in archived samples. The research directly supports the goals of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Florida State University (FSU) in the amount of $361,707 with a project period from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026. This collaborative research project aims to investigate the impact of irregular small-scale topography on large-scale oceanic circulation patterns. The project will utilize a combination of analytical theories, high-resolution simulations,...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $795,643 Project Grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The award will fund a research project from March 2023 through February 2026 to examine recent changes in sea level and circulation around the Grand Banks region. The project aims to investigate forcing mechanisms behind observed sea level anomalies, examine connectivity of sea level change between continental shelves and open...
