Funding will allow Woods Hole to conduct basic research investigating ocean circulation patterns and dynamics as part of efforts to strengthen understanding of Earth's integrated...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $417,619 to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) for a 2-year research project investigating the physical mechanisms that contribute to episodic primary production and carbon sequestration at Antarctic Circumpolar Current fronts in the Southern Ocean. The project will leverage high-resolution data and satellite-derived measurements to develop a better understanding of how these...
- The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will receive $294,992 under a three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences. The grant will support collaborative research to analyze 150 years of sea surface and subsurface observations in order to map whole-ocean temperature and detect circulation changes. This work aligns with the goals of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through...
- This $686,707 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support research into the evolution of water mass transformation and overturning in the western Nordic Seas amid climate change. Over three years, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will apply theoretical modeling, high-resolution coupled ocean-atmosphere-ice modeling using the SKRIPS system, and analysis of observational data from the Resilient Northern Overturning in a Warming Climate...
- The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution was awarded a $807,034 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences. The grant is supporting research titled "Collaborative Research: Towards a More Comprehensive Understanding of Eulerian and Lagrangian Transport of Active and Passive Tracers in the Ocean" from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2024. The research is being conducted under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050), which aims to strengthen the...
- The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution received a three-year, $548,143 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs to conduct collaborative research integrating Antarctic environmental and biological predictability to obtain optimal forecasts. The grant was awarded on September 1, 2021 under the NSF's Polar Programs, which aims to strengthen fundamental polar research conducted in or requiring polar environments (CFDA 47.078). Through this funding, Woods...
- The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution was awarded a two-year, $599,798 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will support research examining Holocene upper Atlantic temperature trends and variability in the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation. Funding will enable analysis of paleoclimate records to better understand potential links between anomalous heat uptake and past fluctuations in ocean...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $449,645 to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. The funding will support development of a numerical model to simulate the pathways of glacial meltwater introduced into the North Atlantic Ocean from the Laurentide Ice Sheet during the last ice age. Specifically, the coupled ocean circulation-sea ice model will be configured and tested to...
This three-year, $1,083,600 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research examining the dynamics of cross-shelf exchange in an Antarctic slope canyon. The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will conduct numerical modeling and laboratory experiments to test hypotheses about dense shelf water transport and the onshore flow of deep offshore water induced by dense water descending the canyon. The research aims to advance understanding of key ocean processes influencing global meridional overturning circulation and Antarctic glacial ice melt. It will support a graduate student's PhD research and involve other students through laboratory activities. In years one and three, an open week event at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory will engage approximately 10 undergraduate and graduate students, postdocs, and K-12 students in hands-on demonstrations and displays using project materials. Findings may help guide future field campaigns in the Antarctic region.
