This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) project grant, awarded to The Pennsylvania State University, aims to improve understanding of marine larval dispersal patterns and their implications for marine ecology, evolution, and conservation. The $818,793 award, effective from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027, will leverage population genetic models to estimate dispersal kernels for six reef fish species across three South Pacific archipelagos. The project will use...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to investigate the interactions between internal waves and submesoscale currents in the ocean's bottom boundary layer. The total award is $418,382 over a period of 3 years, from June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2027. The research will combine theoretical concepts, analyses of existing measurements, and computer modeling to assess how these wave-current interactions affect mixing and...
This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program, titled "LARVAL DISPERSAL CAPACITY AND REALIZED CONNECTIVITY: INTEGRATION OF PHYSICAL TRANSPORT MODELS, LARVAL PLASTICITY, AND GENE FLOW IN THE NORTH CENTRAL PACIFIC," provides $778k in funding to the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The grant supports basic research aimed at strengthening understanding of the integrated Earth system through studies of atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $568,415 supports research into submesoscale ocean processes through May 2025. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will advance understanding of exchange between the well-mixed surface layer and stratified interior of the ocean at horizontal length scales of hundreds to thousands of meters. Major activities include Reynolds-averaged numerical simulations to quantify the impact of incorporating entrainment fluxes into a...
This three-year, $482,834 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support analysis of Lagrangian observations from vertically profiling floats to investigate levels of internal waves and their role in transforming water properties through vertical mixing along the Pacific-to-Indian Ocean throughflow pathway. Specifically, the award recipient, the University of Washington Office of Sponsored Programs, will utilize existing and new float...
This $325,783 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research to develop a new model for the upper ocean boundary layer (OSBL) that includes both local and non-local turbulence transport. The research aims to address deficiencies in existing OSBL parameterization schemes by leveraging observational data and large eddy simulations to improve physical and biogeochemical ocean model predictions across...
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...
