- This $156,128 project grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs will fund research at Oregon State University to understand massive phytoplankton blooms over the Australian-Antarctic Ridge. Over three years, the university will conduct collaborative research with satellite and ship-based measurements to study a poorly understood phytoplankton bloom in the northwestern Ross Sea sector of the Southern Ocean. Researchers will implement numerical models and target shipboard...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $1,275,313 Project Grant to Stanford University under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) for the period of September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025. The grant will support collaborative research to better understand massive phytoplankton blooms over the Australian-Antarctic Ridge and their relationship to hydrothermal iron sources. Specifically, the grant will fund a 40-day process study cruise to conduct...
- 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 Project Grant award of $231,050 from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund research to investigate the mechanisms that relate ocean circulation in the open ocean to ice sheet melt in Antarctica. The primary objectives are to: 1) Quantify the pathways of Circumpolar Deep Water from its origin in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current to the Antarctic continental slope, and 2) Determine the physical mechanisms that govern the variability of these pathways. The...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides $221,015 to the University of New Hampshire from February 2022 to January 2024 to investigate changes in Arctic Ocean phytoplankton and track the vertical export of organic carbon they produce. Working with optical oceanography experts at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the University will analyze data from 2010-2021 field campaigns measuring inherent and apparent optical...
- The National Science Foundation's Polar Research (CFDA 47.078) program awarded the University of Washington a $327,580 project grant to elucidate the ocean dynamics governing melt at glaciers using Lagrangian floats. The 3-year grant, awarded on October 1, 2023, will develop instruments that drift in three dimensions to study the physical processes causing melting at an Alaskan glacier ending in a fjord. The project aims to determine whether recirculating cells and waves below the sea surface...
