This $1.56 million project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports the development of a physical-biological transport model of the pelagic Sargassum seaweed in the Atlantic Ocean. Led by the University of Miami with its division serving as the primary awardee, the research team will build upon theoretical frameworks for inertial particle motion to represent Sargassum rafts as networks of elastically interacting floating particles. Their...
This $750,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Office of International Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.079) supports the "SARGASSUM-PLASTIC SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS (SPLASS) IN THE CARIBBEAN" research project at the Colorado School of Mines. The project investigates the connection between sargassum seaweed and plastic pollution in the Caribbean, with the goal of developing valuable construction products like concrete and composite lumber from this waste...
This Project Grant of $533,586 was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), a private non-profit research organization, on April 1, 2024. The grant is part of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports fundamental research to expand knowledge and understanding of the Earth system.

This $669,091 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to estimate global eddy-driven transport using in situ Lagrangian observations. The Planetary Science Institute will use existing particle-based methods and compare them with coherent structure methods to quantitatively assess the impact of long-lived ocean structures on fluid transport. Theiss Research will assist in this effort through intercomparisons of...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $734,947 in funding to the University of Rhode Island to conduct collaborative research on the life cycle of phytoplankton blooms in coastal ecosystems. The research team will analyze a unique set of samples and data collected in 2021-2022 to better understand the metabolic, functional, and taxonomic interactions between phytoplankton and associated bacteria that influence the timing and...
This three-year $292,300 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to advance understanding of estuarine transport processes through a Lagrangian framework. Principal investigators from Rutgers, The State University will examine transport of buoyant material in estuaries, specifically the Delaware Estuary, including its aggregation within estuaries and the effects of resulting patchiness on transport. Researchers will address...
This $154,779 National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences project grant supports collaborative research on tidally rectified flows in multiple inlet/lagoon systems and their consequences for transport and residence times. The awardee, Stockton University, will conduct idealized and realistic numerical modeling studies of lagoon systems with multiple inlets using the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) model. Field observations will also be collected and combined with modeling to...
This $202,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support observational and modeling research to address critical gaps in understanding the production and distribution of giant sea salt aerosols (GSSA) in the atmosphere. The research, conducted by a postdoctoral fellow, will involve field measurements of GSSA using specialized instrumentation during research cruises from Hawaii, which will be combined with large eddy...
