The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $568,531 Project Grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to study recirculating flows and eddies in the nearshore surf zone. The 3-year grant under NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will use mathematical models, available measurements, and artificial intelligence to explore three hypotheses related to surfzone eddy dynamics and their connection to wave properties, energy dissipation, and exchange...
This $654,897 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund collaborative research on swash zone dynamics driven by obliquely incident waves. The University of Delaware will lead laboratory experiments, theoretical analysis, and numerical simulations to expand understanding of three-dimensional flow and sediment transport patterns in the swash zone under a range of wave conditions and angles of incidence....
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program has awarded a $259,253 Project Grant to the University of New Hampshire (UNH) to investigate the impacts of sea breeze and steep surface gravity waves on nearshore air-sea fluxes. The overarching goal is to advance understanding of how ocean surface waves mediate the exchange of momentum and heat between the atmosphere and ocean, especially over spatial and temporal scales that are currently under-resolved by observations and models....
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will conduct collaborative research on combined waves and currents over multi-scale topography from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2024 through a $313,734 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences. Under the grant, UNC-Chapel Hill will investigate boundary layer dynamics and parameterization to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system, as outlined in the objectives of the NSF's Geosciences program...
The University of North Carolina at Wilmington received a $203,874 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences on August 1, 2021 to develop methodology for reconstructing prior river flows. The grant is part of NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which aims to promote basic research and education in these fields and monitor science investments. Under the award, UNC Wilmington researchers will work to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program award to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) will provide $738,922 from June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2026 to study surfzone vorticity and circulation patterns in the shallow water of the surf zone. The project will use high-resolution sensor data from prior field studies to test hypotheses about how factors like seafloor bathymetry, wave directionality, and strong alongshore currents influence the generation and spatial scales...
This $574,331 National Science Foundation project grant will fund research into swash zone dynamics driven by obliquely incident waves. The grant was awarded on September 1, 2022 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. The University of Wisconsin-Madison will lead a collaborative effort with the University of Delaware, Queens University, and the Caribbean Coastal Ocean Observing System to conduct laboratory...
The University of Delaware received a three-year, $390,198 National Science Foundation project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on the experimental and numerical study of bed shear stress and turbulent boundary layer structure induced by breaking-wave-generated vortices. The research is intended to strengthen fundamental knowledge and understanding of integrated Earth system processes through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $712,215 Project Grant under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program to the University of Connecticut (UConn) in Storrs, CT. The project, titled "Directional Phase-Resolved Broadband Observations of Breaking Waves," runs from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The primary objectives are to: Measure waves and wave-breaking, including their spread in wavelengths and directions, from a fixed tower to better...
Duke University was awarded a three-year, $100,278 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences. The grant falls under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to increase understanding of the integrated Earth system. Through this funding, Duke University researchers will conduct a collaborative research project called "Combined Waves and Currents Over Multi-Scale Topography: From Boundary Layer Dynamics to...
