This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support a collaborative research project to investigate the long-term variability of the Florida Current, a critical component of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. The $167,662 award, effective August 15, 2024 through July 31, 2027, will enable researchers at Rutgers, The State University to utilize previously collected coral records to reconstruct the Florida...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program Project Grant award of $206,999 to the University of Miami Rosenstiel Marine Division, a research division of the University of Miami, will support a collaborative research project titled "NSFGEO-NERC: COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: ROLE OF THE OVERTURNING CIRCULATION IN CARBON ACCUMULATION (ROCCA)." The project aims to quantify carbon uptake and transport in the North Atlantic Ocean and investigate the relationship between the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program awarded a $624,127 Project Grant to Florida State University (FSU) to study the impact of ocean dynamics on coastal sea level changes in the eastern Atlantic region. The award, titled "OCEAN DYNAMICS IMPACTING SHELF SEA LEVEL IN EASTERN ATLANTIC (ODISSEA)," will combine direct observations and numerical modeling to quantify the drivers of regional sea level variability and extremes, with a focus on understanding the influence of...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a 3-year, $575,150 Project Grant to Florida State University (FSU) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to study the impacts of ocean surface currents and waves on atmospheric boundary layer processes over the Gulf Stream. The research aims to determine how coupling of winds, currents, and waves modifies the budgets of heat, moisture, and momentum, as well as the extent to which vertical transport within the atmospheric boundary layer...
This $138,640 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research to investigate water mass transformation processes in the Caribbean Sea. The key products and services to be delivered include: Observational studies using autonomous underwater gliders to collect high-resolution data on spatial differences in water mass mixing across key passages in the Caribbean. The project will also utilize regional ocean modeling...
This $585,115 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project to develop multi-century records of the Florida Current and its sources. The award will enable researchers at the American Museum of Natural History to utilize previously collected coral samples to reconstruct annual changes in the Florida Current over the past 200-300 years. This work aims to better understand the natural variability and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $523,014 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Massachusetts (UMass) to develop computational models of global carbon dioxide (CO2) fluxes from inland waters. The research aims to provide robust, physically-constrained estimates of CO2 emissions from rivers, streams, lakes, and reservoirs by coupling hydrologic and hydraulic routing systems with a stream network CO2 model. The project will validate the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $195,725 Project Grant under its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to deploy and operate two current and pressure recording inverted echo sounders (CPIES) over the continental slope north of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. The goal is to study the multi-scale processes associated with the Gulf Stream's separation from the continental margin, complementing data from the adjacent Pioneer Array ocean...
This $184,955 project grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to San Jose State University Research Foundation, doing business as San Jose State University. The project aims to 1) estimate the uptake, transport, and storage of carbon in the North Atlantic Ocean using new data and modeling approaches, and 2) quantify the role of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) in driving variability in the North Atlantic carbon sink. The...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences provides $143,210 to the University of Rhode Island to support research investigating mesoscale and submesoscale variability in air-sea carbon dioxide exchange in the Gulf Stream region. The research will utilize autonomous platforms including a robotic glider and Saildrones to measure oceanic and atmospheric variables. The glider will take measurements of subsurface ocean properties in the upper 1,000 meters of...
