Additionally, the award will allow SIO to...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $683,104 Project Grant to the University of California San Diego Scripps Institution of Oceanography Division to acquire oceanographic instrumentation needed to support NSF-funded scientific research under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The funded equipment includes a multibeam echosounder, salinometers, computing hardware, a portable magnetometer system, precision time protocol time servers, and CTD support...
- This $341,830 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides funding to Occidental College to acquire a Rigaku CT Lab HX130 microCT scanner. The microCT scanner will support a wide range of biological research and enable non-destructive sampling for Occidental College's natural history collections, which collectively house over one million specimens. Faculty and students will use the instrument across applications...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities awarded a $1,177,779 Project Grant to the University of Georgia (UGA) Research Foundation to acquire a high-resolution X-ray computed microtomography (micro-CT) imaging system with in situ capabilities. This award, made under the Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program, will support research, training, teaching, and outreach efforts across more than 30 investigators at UGA, Georgia Tech, and Emory University in diverse...
- 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 award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $206,258 to Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory to acquire oceanographic instrumentation needed for research aboard the R/V Marcus G. Langseth, a seismic and seafloor mapping research vessel. The award funds the purchase of a 600-meter seismic source umbilical cable, which will serve as a spare, and a CNAVX3 positioning system to enhance the vessel's capabilities in...
- This three-year, $654,518 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support the University of Maine in developing an open, platform-agnostic sediment trap controller and imaging sensor to measure sinking organic carbon fluxes in the ocean's mesopelagic zone (500-1,000 meters). Specifically, the University will create a controller to simplify the construction and deployment of neutrally buoyant sediment traps...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences provides $611,799 to Oregon State University for acquisition of a seagoing computed tomography scanning system for the Marine Sediment Sampling Facility. The system, a GEOTEK Vertical X-ray CT-scanner, can collect high-resolution 3D images of sediment cores up to 150 cm in length while preserving the sediment-water interface. It has a small footprint allowing deployment aboard vessels in the United States Academic Research Fleet. The scanner will scan full-length core sections in as little as 40 minutes at 64-micron resolution, integrating with core processing workflows aboard research ships. This infrastructure award supports the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) by providing shared-use instrumentation to expand access for NSF-funded researchers to calibrated oceanographic tools, reducing costs and broadening the community of scientists able to conduct basic research into the integrated Earth system.
