This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $193,194 to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, a private non-profit research organization, to fund a postdoctoral fellowship focused on leveraging community structure data and machine learning techniques to improve microbial functional diversity modeling in the Arctic Ocean ecosystem. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: Statistical...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $417,619 to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) for a 2-year research project investigating the physical mechanisms that contribute to episodic primary production and carbon sequestration at Antarctic Circumpolar Current fronts in the Southern Ocean. The project will leverage high-resolution data and satellite-derived measurements to develop a better understanding of how these...
This $663,419 three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs will fund research at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution investigating the role of coastal polynyas in modulating Antarctic marine-terminating glacier drawdown. The research will analyze observational data including ice-penetrating radar, radar and laser altimetry, and in situ hydrographic data in conjunction with ocean and ice sheet modeling to examine the interaction between polynya circulation and...
This $350,850 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI). The funding will support the development and implementation of a novel data-assimilated modeling approach that integrates geochemical ice-rafted debris data into iceberg simulations. This research aims to improve interpretations of ice-rafted debris records in the North Atlantic basin in order to better understand the...
The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution received a three-year, $548,143 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs to conduct collaborative research integrating Antarctic environmental and biological predictability to obtain optimal forecasts. The grant was awarded on September 1, 2021 under the NSF's Polar Programs, which aims to strengthen fundamental polar research conducted in or requiring polar environments (CFDA 47.078). Through this funding, Woods...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs awarded a $303,968 Project Grant to the University of Connecticut from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2025. The grant supports research to investigate the impacts of climate change and sea ice loss on phytoplankton blooms and carbon cycling in the West Antarctic Peninsula region. Key objectives include analyzing shifts in the seasonal timing (phenology) of phytoplankton, evaluating changes in phytoplankton community...
This $683,266 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to reconstruct global ice volume and bottom water temperature over the past 1-3 million years. The project at Brown University will analyze multiple climate proxies, including biomarkers and stable isotopes, using machine learning algorithms to resolve global ice volume and ocean temperature signals. The key objectives are to assess the role of CO2 and ice albedo in global...
This $482,474 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences (CFDA 47.050 - Geosciences) to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) will fund a 3-year study to conduct observing system simulation experiments (OSSEs) using advanced ocean biogeochemical models. The goal is to improve understanding of the potential for iron fertilization to sequester carbon in the Southern Ocean, Equatorial Pacific, and Northeast Pacific. The OSSEs will leverage...
This three-year, $177,799 National Science Foundation Project Grant through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to advance understanding of glacial-age western North Atlantic hydrography. The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will synthesize existing sediment property data from 30% more deep-sea sediment cores collected between 1994 and 2021. Isotopic and radiocarbon analyses of microfossils from cores spanning the upper 2 km of the region will provide new insights into...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) is focused on investigating benthic iron fluxes in the Labrador Sea, a critical region for deep-water formation and biological carbon cycling. The $134,212 award to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will support research to identify and quantify iron sources from ocean sediments to the overlying waters, using sediment sampling, pore water analysis, and numerical ocean circulation modeling....
