This National Science Foundation project grant of $213,571 will support research to constrain variability in North Pacific marine heatwaves during the late Pliocene epoch from 2.6 to 3.6 million years ago. Funded under the Geosciences program, which aims to expand understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research, key products include reconstructed distributions of sea surface temperature and characterization of marine heatwave behavior in the North Pacific during the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $374,314 to Yale University to investigate changes in carbon uptake and storage in the Pacific Ocean during the Pliocene era, around 3 million years ago, as an analog for understanding the ocean's response to modern climate warming. The researchers will use data and models to quantify the impacts of temperature-sensitive mechanisms, such as circulation changes and biological processes,...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $480,579 will fund research at the University of Washington from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025 to reconstruct Earth's energy imbalance over the past 1,000 years. The research will use paleoclimate data assimilation methods to combine proxy climate records with physical constraints from climate models to reconstruct fields like outgoing shortwave and longwave radiation at the top of the atmosphere. This will provide a proxy-constrained...
This $163,915 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project investigating changes in carbon uptake and storage in the Pacific Ocean during the Pliocene, a warm period approximately 3 million years ago. The primary objectives are to quantify the marine carbon response to temperature-sensitive mechanisms within the ocean, with the goal of better predicting carbon storage during future climate warming. The...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research effort to investigate ocean circulation and ventilation patterns during the Pliocene epoch, a period of warmer global temperatures. The $387,909 award, which spans from August 2024 to December 2025, will fund the generation of new paleoceanographic records using a multi-proxy approach across several North Pacific Ocean sites. The goal is to test hypotheses about...
This $358,499 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research to understand the impact of warming on the structure and function of marine communities in the Northwest Atlantic Shelf region, including the Gulf of Maine and Mid-Atlantic Bight. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, through its Office of Sponsored Research, will characterize the composition and features of plankton and fish...
This $372,515 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to document variations in the influence of the Southern Hemisphere on the Western Pacific Warm Pool thermocline over the past 1.5 million years. The principal investigators at Columbia University will analyze geochemical data from deep-sea sediment cores to determine the timing and patterns of subsurface warming in the Western Pacific Warm Pool relative to surface...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $718,487 supports research into the drivers of regional climate change patterns and their implications. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award runs from May 1, 2022 to April 30, 2027. The principal investigator and collaborators from multiple international institutions will use a suite of climate model experiments to further understanding of the physical mechanisms influencing sea surface temperature warming patterns in key...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $267,901 will fund research into the response of the upper tropical Pacific Ocean to greenhouse gas forcing from August 15, 2022 through July 31, 2025. The award was made under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the grant will support a collaborative research effort examining how the temperature, currents, and thermal structure of the upper tropical...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $103,517 will support research reconstructing bottom water temperatures from bivalves on the continental shelf off the east coast of the United States from approximately 5,000 years ago to present. The award was made on August 1, 2022 to The University of Southern Mississippi under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen understanding of integrated Earth system processes. Researchers will analyze isotope ratios in living and fossil...
