This $879,520 National Science Foundation award through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds a collaborative research project examining the implications of rapid Arctic change for fisheries and fishing communities in the western North Atlantic. Led by the Gulf of Maine Research Institute, the project builds a network to develop a climate vulnerability assessment and predictive models evaluating how changes in the Arctic cryosphere and ocean circulation affect ecosystem and fishery...
This $399,710 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Office of Integrative Activities, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), supports research examining the impacts of rapid Arctic change on fisheries and fishing communities in the western North Atlantic. The Trustees of Columbia University will lead an interdisciplinary team to develop coupled atmosphere-ice-ocean-ecosystem models and bio-economic models to evaluate how changes in the Arctic cryosphere and ocean circulation...
This Project Grant award of $1,793,583 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to study the dynamics of socio-environmental factors driving resilience of coastal fisheries in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast US. The project will integrate feedbacks between livelihoods, human behavior, climate, and fish ecology, with a focus on the recreational and commercial fisheries for summer flounder (Paralichthys dentatus). Key objectives include: Using...
This $358,499 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research to understand the impact of warming on the structure and function of marine communities in the Northwest Atlantic Shelf region, including the Gulf of Maine and Mid-Atlantic Bight. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, through its Office of Sponsored Research, will characterize the composition and features of plankton and fish...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Polar Programs grant program (CFDA 47.078) supports a collaborative research effort to investigate how physical oceanographic processes, such as water circulation and mixing, shape the productivity of fjord ecosystems in Greenland. The $1,038,209 award, effective from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will fund field observations, computer modeling, and analysis to elucidate the linkages between physical transport...
The National Science Foundation awarded The Johns Hopkins University a $466,423 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for work spanning March 15, 2023 through February 28, 2026. The university will utilize ocean models to understand how melting Arctic ice and precipitation influence ocean currents in the North Atlantic. Researchers will track Arctic waters using novel approaches including artificial intelligence to determine the fate of Arctic water and sources of unusually...
This $136,629 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support collaborative research to understand regional modes of variability in the Atlantic Arctic. The research aims to identify and quantify interdecadal (20-30 years) and multidecadal (50-90 years) patterns of climate variability in the region by integrating data from various sources, including meteorological measurements, historical observations, and climate proxy data from natural...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $795,643 Project Grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The award will fund a research project from March 2023 through February 2026 to examine recent changes in sea level and circulation around the Grand Banks region. The project aims to investigate forcing mechanisms behind observed sea level anomalies, examine connectivity of sea level change between continental shelves and open...
This $436,468 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support a research initiative by Brown University to develop future scenarios for Arctic maritime accessibility. The key products and services to be delivered under this grant include: Using numerical weather prediction and machine learning techniques to model the probability of hazardous icing conditions and dangerous sea ice convergence along Arctic maritime shipping routes. 2)...
This $1,599,142 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research titled "DISES: Pathways and Constraints to Adaptation in Coastal Social-Environmental Systems" conducted by Stanford University from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2025. The grant funds research on adaptation challenges facing coastal communities in relation to environmental variability and change. Key activities include nearshore oceanographic monitoring,...
