The University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography received a $124,328 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to conduct collaborative research on constraining the role of the Antarctic Slope Current (ASC) on tracer exchange at the Antarctic margin. This 3-year project will utilize a hierarchy of observationally-constrained and validated physical and biogeochemical Southern Ocean models to investigate the climatological state, variability, and role of the ASC in the evolving climate system. The research aims to provide foundational knowledge on the ASC's impacts on heat delivery to Antarctic ice shelves, nutrient/carbon exchange between the shelf and open Southern Ocean, and implications for sea level rise and marine ecosystem dynamics. No subrecipients are planned under this award.
