The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs awarded a $359,717 Project Grant to Bowling Green State University to conduct collaborative research on "Heat Source and Flux Distributions in the Western Ross Sea Seafloor." The goal of this 3-year project is to identify and document the distribution of heat sources and heat flux within the seafloor of the southwestern Ross Sea in Antarctica. The research will involve a shipboard survey to collect seafloor heat...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $159,734 to Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi to collect critical heat flow and sedimentological data in the Ross Sea, Antarctica. The goal is to study the mechanisms controlling the rate of gas hydrate destabilization following the retreat of the Antarctic ice sheet since the last glacial maximum. The data collected, including heat flow measurements and sediment cores, will inform...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $199,997 project grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to support research titled "RAPID: FATE OF FRESHWATER AND HEAT IN THE WEST GREENLAND CURRENT." The grant period runs from April 15, 2021 through March 31, 2022. Under this award, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will conduct basic research to strengthen understanding of polar regions by investigating the fate of...
The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution received a $117,429 project grant award from the National Science Foundation on February 15, 2021 to support wintertime hydrography research in the Chukchi Sea through January 31, 2022. Under the NSF's Polar Programs, which supports basic research in polar regions through grant CFDA number 47.078, Woods Hole will conduct oceanographic data collection to strengthen understanding of fundamental polar science. Specifically, the Institution will carry out...
The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution was awarded a $481,644 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078). The grant will support the project "NEW COSMOGENIC 21NE AND 10BE MEASUREMENTS IN THE TRANSANTARCTIC MOUNTAINS" from February 1, 2021 through January 31, 2024. The project aims to strengthen fundamental scientific understanding of the polar regions through basic research conducted in...
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...
The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution received a $479,972 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs to support the Nansen and Amundsen Basins Observational System mooring design and cruise support from June 1, 2021 to May 31, 2023. Under the award, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will design moorings and provide cruise support for the Nansen and Amundsen Basins Observational System, which aims to strengthen understanding of the polar regions...
The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will receive $2,390,365 from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to support the Nansen and Amundsen Basins Observational System 2023 mooring design and cruise support project. Specifically, WHOI's Mooring Operations and Engineering Group will design, fabricate, ship and help deploy nine new deep-water subsurface moorings in the Arctic Ocean during a late summer 2023...
The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution received a three-year, $548,143 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs to conduct collaborative research integrating Antarctic environmental and biological predictability to obtain optimal forecasts.
