- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 4-year, $490,570 Project Grant under its Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program to the University of New Hampshire (UNH) to develop an autonomous eddy covariance air-sea CO2 flux measurement system for use on moored ocean buoys. This system is designed to provide accurate, low-power measurements of atmospheric and oceanic carbon dioxide exchange, which is critical for improving the predictive capabilities of climate models. As part of this project,...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $568,104 Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Delaware (UDE) to collect high-resolution carbon isotope data on GO-SHIP cruises in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. The goal is to use the data to constrain ocean carbon uptake and storage, which will provide insights into anthropogenic CO2 uptake rates. The project centers on deploying a custom seagoing dissolved inorganic carbon extraction system coupled with a...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $296,671 Project Grant to the University of Virginia to develop a novel approach for measuring greenhouse gas emissions from coastal marine ecosystems. The two-year award, made under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support the Principal Investigator's research combining upside-down aquatic eddy covariance measurements of oxygen fluxes at the air-water interface with new sensor technologies to extract greenhouse...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports fundamental research to expand scientific understanding of the integrated Earth system through investigations in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. The $290,552 award will recover, calibrate, and analyze oxygen data from an array of moorings in the Labrador and Irminger Seas in the North Atlantic Ocean. This will help characterize oxygen and carbon dioxide ventilation pathways into...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences provides $109,710 to the University of Washington from June 2021 through May 2024. The grant supports collaborative research to improve the accuracy and uncertainty associated with estimated levels of carbon dioxide partial pressure (pCO2) from pH sensors on autonomous profiling platforms. This work falls under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen the national scientific enterprise...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $400,000 over 3 years to the Regents of the University of Michigan to develop a novel self-powered multimodal MEMS sensor system that can simultaneously detect pH, pressure, and temperature in marine environments. The researchers aim to create an innovative, highly sensitive, and energy-efficient sensor to support marine carbon dioxide removal (MCDR) efforts by providing uninterrupted,...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $517,526 to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to quantify uncertainties in air-sea CO2 flux variability and the background ocean carbon sink, and determine data requirements to reduce these uncertainties. Key objectives include: 1) Quantifying regional-scale uncertainties in the background ocean carbon sink using a...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $104,895 Project Grant to the University of Washington under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to support collaborative research investigating variability in air-sea carbon dioxide exchange in the Gulf Stream region. Through this award, the Principal Investigators will deploy one autonomous underwater glider and overlap its measurements of subsurface ocean properties in the upper 1,000 meters with data collected by three Saildrones...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports the development of a novel ocean skin temperature sensor for uncrewed surface vehicles and buoys. The $349,299 award, effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2026, will implement a simplified technique using a special infrared wavelength band that reduces the need to measure downwelling sky radiation, a key challenge in obtaining accurate sea surface temperature measurements. This...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences totaling $114,000 will support the installation of a sensor on an ecotourism ship to continuously measure surface water carbon dioxide concentrations in the Eastern Equatorial Pacific region among the Galapagos Islands. The specific goals of the project are to complete installation of a General Oceanics PCO2 sensor on a Galapagos ecotourism ship operated by Lindblad Expeditions and initiate a time series of high-resolution, high-frequency observations. Data collected will be submitted to the Surface Ocean CO2 Atlas observational dataset for inclusion in their annual air-sea CO2 flux budgets and incorporation into the Global Carbon Project. This award aligns with the Geosciences program's objective to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through supporting basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. The award recipient is Duke University Office of Research Administration located in Durham, North Carolina.
