The University of Hawaii at Manoa received a $260,258 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences to conduct dual gas tracer measurements during the Central Baltic Sea Air-Sea Exchange Experiment. The funding supports basic research from August 15, 2021 through July 31, 2023 under the Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050), which aims to expand understanding of the integrated Earth system through atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the...
The University of Hawaii at Manoa was awarded a $912,167 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to characterize key components of biological carbon cycling in the Pacific Ocean through March 2026. Under the award, the university will use profiling floats equipped with oxygen and particulate carbon sensors to measure production and respiration rates across the Pacific Ocean on a daily basis and over all seasons. Ship-based measurements will also...
The University of Minnesota will receive $446,973 from the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct experimental and numerical studies of bubble entrainment by breaking waves from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2025. The research aims to advance understanding of the physical processes controlling bubble generation and dispersal in ocean waves and their dependence on factors like wave scale, slope, wind forcing, and salinity. Researchers will leverage...
This $297,369 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research evaluating the contribution of small eukaryotes to nitrate-based new production in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. Over a three-year period ending November 2025, the University of Hawaii at Manoa will conduct laboratory and ship-based research to better understand how phytoplankton access subsurface nitrogen in surface waters during summer months. Researchers will sort phytoplankton...
This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences provides $507,547 to the University of Hawaii at Manoa to conduct research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: ISOTOPIC INDICATORS FOR MECHANISMS OF ORGANIC MATTER DEGRADATION UNDER HIGH PRODUCTIVITY AND HIGH CARBON FLUX CONDITIONS (EXPORTS)." The research aims to develop isotopic indicators to study organic matter degradation under conditions of high biological productivity and carbon flux in...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences provides $757,404 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2025. The award will support collaborative experimental and numerical studies of the effects of wind, wave scale, and salinity on bubble entrainment by breaking waves. Researchers will leverage the Scripps Ocean-Atmosphere Research...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $718,487 supports research into the drivers of regional climate change patterns and their implications. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award runs from May 1, 2022 to April 30, 2027. The principal investigator and collaborators from multiple international institutions will use a suite of climate model experiments to further understanding of the physical mechanisms influencing sea surface temperature warming patterns in key...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities provides $793,505 to the University of Hawaii at Manoa for the development of a nonlinear reduced order modeling framework for marine structures operating in the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions. The three-year award runs from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024. The funding supports research under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through...
