This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $109,068 to the University of Washington from February 1, 2022 to January 31, 2023. The funding supports a collaborative research effort to test the feasibility of making undersea observations of seismic and oceanic processes across ocean basins using existing telecommunications cables. Specifically, the grant will partially fund two graduate students...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $198,069 Project Grant to the University of Washington (UW) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct a 4-day test of Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) on the Ocean Observatory Initiative's Regional Cabled Array off the coast of Oregon. The project aims to demonstrate the feasibility of using multiplexed DAS technology on existing submarine telecommunications cables to improve seafloor monitoring capabilities, particularly for...
The University of Washington was awarded a $271,960 two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will support collaborative research to study constraints on interseismic locking near the trench on the Oregon segment of the Cascadia Subduction Zone using seafloor geodesy (GNSS-A). As the awardee, the University of Washington will leverage its expertise in ocean sciences and...
The University of Washington will receive $399,588 from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences through July 2023 to reconstruct past ecologies using peptidomics under the federal Project Grant award. The funding supports the university's efforts to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in ocean sciences, as outlined in the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) of providing $399K to expand fundamental knowledge in this area....
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...
This Project Grant award of $146,195 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Oregon State University supports research to quantify the role of pressure gradients in nearshore sediment mobility and transport using distributed fiber-optic sensing. The project aims to enhance understanding of coastal processes and hazards by integrating laboratory experiments, geophysical modeling, and field observations to measure wave-driven pressure gradients and their...
The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $174,000 Project Grant to researchers at Riverside, California under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will support work using distributed acoustic sensing to detect tremors and characterize earthquake hazard sites in the Cascadia region. Through June 2022 to May 2024, the grantees will evaluate earthquake risks by deploying fiber optic cables to monitor seismic activity. Insights gained from this work will further the...
The University of Washington will receive $296,508 under a two-year Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences.
