This three-year, $177,799 National Science Foundation Project Grant through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to advance understanding of glacial-age western North Atlantic hydrography. The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will synthesize existing sediment property data from 30% more deep-sea sediment cores collected between 1994 and 2021. Isotopic and radiocarbon analyses of microfossils from cores spanning the upper 2 km of the region will provide new insights into...
This three-year, $305,901 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support research investigating the influence of subglacial discharge from Greenland fjords on ocean circulation and meltwater fate in the Labrador Sea. The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will model subglacial meltwater plume transport pathways and quantify effects on winter convection, comparing subsurface outflow to surface inputs....
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $644,088 to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to analyze 10 years of data from the West Greenland mooring array in the Eastern Labrador Sea. The research project aims to quantify the temporal variability of the oceanic circulation, heat and salt transports, water mass components, and eddy processes in the West Greenland boundary current system. It will also characterize the...
This $1,822,863 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to measure the East Greenland Coastal Current on the Northeast Greenland Shelf. The project seeks to quantify the volume, heat, and freshwater transports of this current and compare them to the neighboring East Greenland Current. Key activities include deploying an array of six moorings to collect continuous measurements of temperature, salinity, and...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $795,643 Project Grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The award will fund a research project from March 2023 through February 2026 to examine recent changes in sea level and circulation around the Grand Banks region. The project aims to investigate forcing mechanisms behind observed sea level anomalies, examine connectivity of sea level change between continental shelves and open...
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...
This $350,850 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI). The funding will support the development and implementation of a novel data-assimilated modeling approach that integrates geochemical ice-rafted debris data into iceberg simulations. This research aims to improve interpretations of ice-rafted debris records in the North Atlantic basin in order to better understand the...
This $399,105 National Science Foundation project grant through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support research investigating the influence of subglacial discharge from Greenland ice sheets on ocean circulation in the Labrador Sea. Over a three-year period ending September 2025, the University of Georgia Research Foundation will model subglacial meltwater transport pathways and quantify effects on winter convection. The research aims to identify whether subsurface meltwater from East...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $952,374 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to conduct research on changes in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) during the last deglaciation. The project aims to quantify AMOC changes by combining data from deep-sea sediments, deep-sea corals, and computer models of ocean circulation. The research will yield insights into the processes leading to rapid...
