This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $340,885 to Oregon State University to study tidally rectified flows in multiple inlet/lagoon systems and their consequences for transport and residence times. The research will use idealized and realistic modeling with the Regional Ocean Modeling System combined with observations to quantify both Stokes and Eulerian transport, which sum to the Lagrangian transport through multiple inlets in...
This $154,779 National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences project grant supports collaborative research on tidally rectified flows in multiple inlet/lagoon systems and their consequences for transport and residence times. The awardee, Stockton University, will conduct idealized and realistic numerical modeling studies of lagoon systems with multiple inlets using the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) model. Field observations will also be collected and combined with modeling to...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $586,313 Project Grant to Rutgers, The State University located in Piscataway, New Jersey. The grant supports a collaborative research project titled "Collaborative Research: Oligohaline Dispersion: Transport Processes at the Estuary-Tidal River Transition" under the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). This project aims to quantify tidal dispersion and identify the underlying mechanisms driving transport...
This three-year $292,300 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to advance understanding of estuarine transport processes through a Lagrangian framework. Principal investigators from Rutgers, The State University will examine transport of buoyant material in estuaries, specifically the Delaware Estuary, including its aggregation within estuaries and the effects of resulting patchiness on transport. Researchers will address...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $574,550 Project Grant to the University of Delaware under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) for the period March 1, 2022 through February 28, 2025. The award will support research examining the Lagrangian transport and patchiness of buoyant material in estuarine systems through an integrated program employing conceptual models, observations, and simulations. Key objectives include assessing and advancing...
This $654,897 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund collaborative research on swash zone dynamics driven by obliquely incident waves. The University of Delaware will lead laboratory experiments, theoretical analysis, and numerical simulations to expand understanding of three-dimensional flow and sediment transport patterns in the swash zone under a range of wave conditions and angles of incidence....
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $260,071 to Rutgers, The State University to investigate water mass transformation processes in the Caribbean Sea. The research aims to improve understanding of how the Caribbean sea's role in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and associated heat transport are impacted by spatial heterogeneity in mesoscale eddies, complex bathymetry, and wind stress curl variability. The...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support a collaborative research project to investigate the long-term variability of the Florida Current, a critical component of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. The $167,662 award, effective August 15, 2024 through July 31, 2027, will enable researchers at Rutgers, The State University to utilize previously collected coral records to reconstruct the Florida...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $163,997 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Rutgers, The State University to support the "Research Internships in Ocean Science (RIOS)" program. The RIOS program will provide a 10-week summer research experience for 10 undergraduate students per year over 3 years. Students will work directly with faculty mentors at Rutgers' New Brunswick campus and Haskin Shellfish Research Lab, conducting independent and...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to investigate the interactions between internal waves and submesoscale currents in the ocean's bottom boundary layer. The total award is $418,382 over a period of 3 years, from June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2027. The research will combine theoretical concepts, analyses of existing measurements, and computer modeling to assess how these wave-current interactions affect mixing and...
