- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $447,531 project grant to the University of South Florida (USF) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The project, titled "Collaborative Research: Detached Eddy Simulation of Nearshore Langmuir Circulation," aims to numerically investigate the structure and intensity of Langmuir turbulence and its impact on cross-shore scalar transport in shallow coastal shelf environments. The research will utilize turbulent eddy-resolving...
- 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 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 Project Grant of $533,586 was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), a private non-profit research organization, on April 1, 2024. The grant is part of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports fundamental research to expand knowledge and understanding of the Earth system. The research funded under this award aims to quantify the transport and fate of carbon exported into the...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $795,643 Project Grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The award will fund a research project from March 2023 through February 2026 to examine recent changes in sea level and circulation around the Grand Banks region. The project aims to investigate forcing mechanisms behind observed sea level anomalies, examine connectivity of sea level change between continental shelves and open...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $305,576.00 Project Grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution to study the influence of mesoscale eddies on deep-sea dynamics and larval connectivity along mid-ocean ridges. This research is funded through NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system. The project will utilize a multi-scale numerical ocean model in comparison with observational data to examine how mesoscale eddies impact deep ocean dynamics and the dispersal of larvae from hydrothermal vent communities on mid-ocean ridges. This research aims to enhance the understanding of how these processes influence the resilience of vent metacommunities to natural and human-made disturbances. Over the 3-year period from October 2023 to September 2026, the research team will conduct field studies, data analysis, and model simulations to quantify the role of eddies in mediating larval transport and population connectivity.
