The University of Washington was awarded a $132,500 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA #47.050). The grant funded a one-year project to test distributed acoustic sensing on the Ocean Observatories Initiative regional cabled array. The goal was to strengthen understanding of integrated Earth systems through basic research supporting atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences as outlined in the Geosciences...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $198,069 Project Grant to the University of Washington (UW) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct a 4-day test of Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) on the Ocean Observatory Initiative's Regional Cabled Array off the coast of Oregon. The project aims to demonstrate the feasibility of using multiplexed DAS technology on existing submarine telecommunications cables to improve seafloor monitoring capabilities, particularly for...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), provides $214,041 to the University of Washington from April 15, 2022 to March 31, 2024. The funding will support persistent measurements of surface waves in landfast ice using fiber optic telecommunication cables. Researchers will measure waves along a seafloor cable and with surface buoys over week-long periods in spring, summer, and fall of 2022....
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $1,354,056 to the University of California San Diego Scripps Institution of Oceanography to jointly implement a new measurement technique called distributed acoustic sensing. This technique will generate high-resolution (10 m in space, minutes in time) images of ocean temperature and current velocity fields above a 34-km cable laid on the seafloor off the Azores islands. The goal is to...
The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $174,000 Project Grant to researchers at Riverside, California under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will support work using distributed acoustic sensing to detect tremors and characterize earthquake hazard sites in the Cascadia region. Through June 2022 to May 2024, the grantees will evaluate earthquake risks by deploying fiber optic cables to monitor seismic activity. Insights gained from this work will further the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded Oregon State University a $146,195 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to quantify the role of pressure gradients in nearshore sediment mobility and transport using distributed fiber-optic sensing. The project aims to investigate how waves generate pressure gradients that mobilize seafloor sediment on sandy beaches, a critical process for understanding coastal evolution and hazards. The research will integrate laboratory...
