This $632,314 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a research project led by the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The project aims to provide a better understanding of the physical and biogeochemical processes driving carbon cycling in the equatorial Pacific Ocean. Using a combination of ocean models, autonomous observations, and satellite data, the project will characterize...
The University of South Florida received a $1,097,509 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation on June 1, 2021 to fund research titled "The Role of Cyclonic Upwelling Eddies in Southern Ocean CO2 Flux." The grant is part of NSF's Polar Programs, which supports basic research focused on expanding fundamental knowledge of polar regions. Under the three-year award concluding on May 31, 2024, the University of South Florida will investigate how cyclonic eddies impact carbon...
This three-year, $432,824 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs supports research characterizing eddies beneath Antarctic sea ice. Funded through the Polar Programs program (CFDA 47.078), the collaborative research will derive statistical descriptions of sub-ice eddy properties using hydrographic observations from instruments. High-resolution global ocean and sea ice models will track simulated eddies to identify formation mechanisms. Theoretical...
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...
This $5,526,178 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078), supports the SOCCOM3: Science to Predict the Future of the Southern Ocean and its Global Impacts project. The award aims to transform understanding of the Southern Ocean's role in global carbon, heat, and nutrient cycling through innovative observations, data assimilation, and climate modeling. Key activities include: Extending a circumpolar array of state-of-the-art...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $517,526 to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to quantify uncertainties in air-sea CO2 flux variability and the background ocean carbon sink, and determine data requirements to reduce these uncertainties. Key objectives include: 1) Quantifying regional-scale uncertainties in the background ocean carbon sink using a...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $720,779 project grant to the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences, Inc. (BIOS) to support collaborative research from September 2021 through August 2024. The research aims to investigate eddy impacts on coastal carbon chemistry and coral calcification in situ and through historical analysis. This work will advance understanding of the integrated Earth system, as outlined in the objectives of the Geosciences program (CFDA...
This three-year, $175,836 National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs project grant will support collaborative research characterizing eddies beneath Antarctic sea ice. The University of Washington will analyze hydrographic observations from ARGO floats and instrumented seals to statistically characterize sub-sea ice eddy properties. High-resolution global ocean and sea ice models will be used to track simulated eddies back to formation sites to identify mechanisms. Theoretical...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $533,913 to the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography to continue a long-term atmospheric observing system that tracks changes in Arctic biogeochemistry. The project will measure key carbon and oxygen cycle tracers, including atmospheric CO2 concentration, CO2 isotopic composition, and O2/N2 and Ar/N2 ratios, at three Arctic sites over the award period from...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs awarded a $303,968 Project Grant to the University of Connecticut from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2025. The grant supports research to investigate the impacts of climate change and sea ice loss on phytoplankton blooms and carbon cycling in the West Antarctic Peninsula region. Key objectives include analyzing shifts in the seasonal timing (phenology) of phytoplankton, evaluating changes in phytoplankton community...
