This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $508,160 in funding to Rutgers, The State University to conduct collaborative research on long-term changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels during past warm periods. The project aims to reconstruct the movement of the Southern Westerly Winds and evaluate its impact on the Southern Ocean's biological carbon pump and atmospheric CO2 concentrations over the last 900,000 years. The...
The University of Connecticut received a three-year, $451,999 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research on ocean circulation patterns during the Last Glacial Maximum. The university will use oxygen isotope analysis of microfossils from marine sediment cores to reconstruct Atlantic Ocean circulation approximately 20,000 years ago and determine whether southern or northern water masses dominated the deep...
This $350,334 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Delaware. The grant will support a research project to reconstruct changes in deep ocean circulation and water mass geometry in the South Pacific Ocean over the past 2 million years, with a focus on the Mid-Pleistocene Transition period. The project will use neodymium isotopes preserved in fossil fish teeth and foraminifera as proxies to investigate the relationship...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences provides $306,817 to Rutgers, The State University from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2024. The grant supports collaborative research to determine seawater isotope compositions from samples collected in the Southeast Pacific and Southern Oceans during the U.S. GEOTRACES GP17 oceanographic cruises. This work will strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system, as described in the objectives of the Geosciences...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will provide $771,667 to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to reconstruct deep ocean circulation in the North Atlantic over the last ice age climate cycle. The project will generate high-quality, high-resolution paleoceanographic data, including multiple proxies for deep-ocean circulation, to examine the link between ocean circulation and past climate change. This...
This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences provides $185,519 to The Trustees of Columbia University for collaborative research probing the ventilation efficiency of the deep ocean with conservative dissolved gas tracers in archived samples. The research directly supports the goals of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean...
Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey was awarded a $298,762 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA #47.050). The three-year award, beginning May 1, 2021 through April 30, 2024, will support the research project "Quantifying the Properties of Atmospheric Trace Elements and Their Fluxes to the Amundsen Sea." As described under the Geosciences program, the funding will strengthen...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $726,244 to Rutgers, The State University for research correcting seasonal biases in sea surface temperature proxies. The research aims to improve paleoceanographic reconstructions by developing approaches to extract seasonal and mean annual temperature records from proxies. It will test these approaches in climate models under different...
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...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $260,071 to Rutgers, The State University to investigate water mass transformation processes in the Caribbean Sea. The key objectives are to: 1) identify processes that contribute to spatial differences in mixing via eddies and changes in transport; 2) improve understanding of the mechanisms driving water mass transformation and implications for regional and global communities. To...
