This three-year, $177,799 National Science Foundation Project Grant through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to advance understanding of glacial-age western North Atlantic hydrography. The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will synthesize existing sediment property data from 30% more deep-sea sediment cores collected between 1994 and 2021. Isotopic and radiocarbon analyses of microfossils from cores spanning the upper 2 km of the region will provide new insights into...
This $496,716 federal Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to conduct research on the dynamics of the meridional overturning circulation (MOC) in the global ocean. The primary objective is to develop a theoretical framework to better understand how water parcels transit from low to high latitudes as part of the MOC, a critical component of the global climate system. The research...
The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution received a $453,110 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences. The grant was awarded on September 1, 2021 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support research examining the Zonal Overturning Circulation through August 31, 2024. Funding will allow Woods Hole to conduct basic research investigating ocean circulation patterns and dynamics as part of efforts to strengthen understanding of Earth's integrated...
The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution was awarded a two-year, $599,798 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will support research examining Holocene upper Atlantic temperature trends and variability in the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation. Funding will enable analysis of paleoclimate records to better understand potential links between anomalous heat uptake and past fluctuations in ocean...
This three-year, $305,901 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support research investigating the influence of subglacial discharge from Greenland fjords on ocean circulation and meltwater fate in the Labrador Sea. The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will model subglacial meltwater plume transport pathways and quantify effects on winter convection, comparing subsurface outflow to surface inputs....
This Project Grant award for $644,088 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports fundamental research on the boundary current system of the eastern Labrador Sea. The project aims to analyze 10 years of data from the West Greenland mooring array as part of the Overturning in the Subpolar North Atlantic Program (OSNAP), which started in 2014. The research objectives include quantifying the variability of oceanic circulation, heat and salt transports, water...
This three-year, $1,083,600 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research examining the dynamics of cross-shelf exchange in an Antarctic slope canyon. The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will conduct numerical modeling and laboratory experiments to test hypotheses about dense shelf water transport and the onshore flow of deep offshore water induced by dense water descending the canyon. The...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $449,645 to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. The funding will support development of a numerical model to simulate the pathways of glacial meltwater introduced into the North Atlantic Ocean from the Laurentide Ice Sheet during the last ice age. Specifically, the coupled ocean circulation-sea ice model will be configured and tested to...
This three-year, $358,347 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to determine the role of ocean dynamics in Atlantic sea surface temperature variations using coupled climate models. The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will lead a collaborative effort to develop a hierarchy of coupled climate models within the Community Earth System Model version 2 platform. Comparisons between model pairs that disable specific oceanic...
The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will receive $294,992 under a three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences. The grant will support collaborative research to analyze 150 years of sea surface and subsurface observations in order to map whole-ocean temperature and detect circulation changes. This work aligns with the goals of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through...
