The National Science Foundation awarded the University of Maryland Eastern Shore a three-year $499,999 Project Grant under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to conduct research on river plume dynamics in Lake Michigan. The university will use coupled hydrodynamic and ice numerical models to investigate the effects of wave-current-ice interactions on coastal plume formation and plume behavior under climate change scenarios in the southern basin. A subaward of $75,741 was issued...
This $309,560 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH). The award, effective August 15, 2024 through July 31, 2027, will fund a collaborative research project to investigate the effects of wind events on circulation and salinity dynamics in the curved Neuse Estuary in North Carolina. The project will utilize 3D modeling with the ROMS (Regional Ocean Modeling...
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will conduct collaborative research on combined waves and currents over multi-scale topography from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2024 through a $313,734 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences. Under the grant, UNC-Chapel Hill will investigate boundary layer dynamics and parameterization to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system, as outlined in the objectives of the NSF's Geosciences program...
This $893,081 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project to transform the understanding of how coastlines respond to changes in storm climate patterns and sea-level rise. The project will develop new techniques to downscale global climate model outputs to produce forecasts of the waves and winds affecting specific coastlines, which will then drive models addressing coastline shape and position...
This $406,274 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research examining submesoscale frontal dynamics and exchange processes in San Luis Obispo Bay, California. The University of California Santa Cruz will conduct high-resolution measurements of turbulent mixing using ship surveys, moorings, and hydrographic profiling to study how persistent thermal fronts are generated and dissipated downstream of...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program award of $478,920 to Trustees of Boston University will support a 3-year research project to gain a more complete understanding of the dynamics of coastal upwelling. The study will use mathematical models and 3D numerical simulations to explore the 3-dimensional pathways and coupling of processes underlying this widespread ocean phenomenon, which has significant impacts on marine ecosystems and fisheries. The research aims to advance...
The University of North Carolina at Wilmington (UNCW) has received a $307,226.00 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to study recirculating flows at the nearshore zone where waves break, the surf zone. The project will use mathematical models and existing measurements to explore three hypotheses: (A) that the recirculations can be identified from shore-based images, (B) that the recirculating...
This $349,370 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Coastal Carolina University from July 2022 to June 2025 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The university will investigate the influence of ocean sediments on neodymium isotope signatures as tracers of deep water circulation patterns in the North Atlantic. Researchers hypothesize that sediments are a primary source of rare earth elements to ocean waters, in contrast to existing models considering sediments a...
