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...
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 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...
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 $274,917 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to enhance understanding of the dynamics and response of low-inflow estuaries to increasing aridification and extreme weather events. The primary goals are to develop numerical simulations of low-inflow estuaries using the ROMS hydrodynamical model, evaluate the circulation response to climate-driven changes in surface thermodynamic forcing and freshwater pulses, and...
