- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 4-year, $14,700,000 Cooperative Agreement to Columbia University to support the operation of the research vessel R/V Marcus G. Langseth from 2024 to 2028. The Langseth is a global-class vessel equipped with advanced multi-channel seismic (MCS) imaging capabilities, including the ability to deploy multiple hydrophone arrays and high-quality sound source arrays. This enables the vessel to conduct both 2D and 3D reflection seismic imaging as well as...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation provided $128,000 to Columbia University from March 2021 through February 2022 for oceanographic instrumentation for the R/V MARCUS G LANGSETH vessel under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The Geosciences program supports basic research expanding understanding of the integrated Earth system, including the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Consistent with this focus, Columbia University utilized the funding to purchase...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) awarded a 5-year Cooperative Agreement to Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (L-DEO) in the amount of $2,590,739 starting on March 15, 2025. The agreement supports oceanographic technical services for the R/V Marcus G. Langseth, which is operated as part of the U.S. Academic Research Fleet. Under this award, L-DEO will provide shipboard technicians for each seagoing research project to maintain,...
- This federal Project Grant award of $425,929 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides funding to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) for the acquisition of a new digital gravity meter instrument. The new instrument will replace an older, failed marine gravimeter on the research vessel R/V Langseth, which is part of the U.S. Academic Research Fleet. This upgrade will help ensure the vessel maintains its high-level capabilities to...
- This $213,500 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) is funding Columbia University to purchase a new Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) system for the university's research vessel, the R/V Marcus G. Langseth. The CTD system will be used to collect high-quality oceanographic data, including temperature and salinity profiles, in support of NSF-funded research projects conducted on the Langseth. This award provides critical scientific...
- This $521,672 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences will support the purchase of oceanographic instrumentation for two research vessels operated by the University of Washington. Specifically, the funding will be used to acquire: A Kongsberg EM2040 multibeam system for the 72-foot R/V Rachael Carson coastal research vessel ($217,371) A Kongsberg EK80 echosounder system for the 274-foot R/V Thompson global class research vessel ($304,301) This...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $250,743 to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution for oceanographic instrumentation on research vessels R/V Atlantis and R/V Armstrong from April 1, 2022 through March 31, 2024. Specifically, the funding supports the acquisition of four Teledyne-RDI lowered acoustic Doppler current profilers costing $154,860 total; one Autosal salinometer and accessories from...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences provides $765,000 to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to upgrade marine gravimeters for use on academic research fleet vessels. Specifically, the award funds the purchase of two Dynamic Gravity Systems marine gravimeters, one for a UNOLS global class vessel and one for the R/V N.B. Palmer. The gravimeters will support NSF-funded...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $184,842 to upgrade oceanographic instrumentation on the R/V Marcus G. Langseth research vessel. The Langseth, owned by Columbia University and operated by the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, is a unique academic asset capable of 3D and extended offset 2D seismic surveys. Funding will support acquisition of four Sercel seal short head sections, two Sercel seal short head elastic section adapters, and one umbilical armored lead-in to upgrade existing systems. This infrastructure award allows NSF-funded researchers open access to calibrated instruments, reducing individual research costs and expanding the researcher base. The award was issued on March 1, 2022 for a one-year period ending February 28, 2023.
