The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution received a $433,539 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences on November 15, 2021 to fund research through October 31, 2024. The research aims to study how selection, plasticity, and dispersal interact to determine coral success in warmer and more variable environments. This work supports the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which seeks to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system...
The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution received a three-year, $1.75 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund research from October 2021 through September 2024 to study the biophysics of coral reef resilience and identify hydrodynamic and ecological drivers of coral survival under extreme heat. As part of its mission to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through...
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...
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...
The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution was awarded a two-year, $280,414 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will support research to synthesize and re-evaluate existing coral-based reconstructions of surface ocean pH over the last 300 years. The Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. The products of this funding...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $533,560 to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to develop a quantitative physicochemical framework for accurately interpreting elemental variations in coral skeletons. The key objectives are to: Construct a physicochemical model to simulate microscale (micrometer-scale) elemental variations, such as magnesium, lithium, and strontium, in coral skeletons. Develop...
Trustees of Union College in Schenectady, New York received a $137,890 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research reconstructing Red Sea surface hydrography variability over the past 300 years. The research aims to examine how Red Sea ocean circulation patterns change spatially and temporally in response to climate systems by generating coral proxy records of...
The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution was awarded an $832,021 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to disentangle drivers of heat and freshwater transport through the Indonesian seas across timescales. The Institution will combine data from sediment cores with model simulations to investigate 1,100 years of changes in the Indonesian Throughflow. As part of this work, K-12 educational materials...
