The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution received a three-year, $237,524 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences to conduct collaborative research on morphodynamic simulations of coastal storms and overwash to characterize back-barrier lake stratigraphies. The research funded under this award will strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences as outlined under the National Science...
This $134,207 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research to transform the scientific community's understanding and forecasting of coastline changes in response to shifting storm patterns and sea-level rise. The project will develop new techniques to downscale global climate model outputs to produce localized forecasts of winds, waves, and water levels affecting specific coastlines, with an initial focus on...
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) Office of Integrative Activities awarded a $598,187 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the Gulf of Maine Research Institute (GMRI) to develop social and technology infrastructure that expands critical coastal flooding data collection and leverages it to enhance resilience in rural Maine coastal communities. The key products and services to be delivered under this one-year project include: Installation of low-cost tide gauges to...
This $150,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research at Texas A&M University examining decision-making around evolving coastal flood risks. The grantee will develop an integrated framework combining risk modeling, economic sorting models, and social behavior models to understand how residential location choices are impacted by changing flood conditions and flood control infrastructure investments. This will quantify changes in...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program award to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) will provide $738,922 from June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2026 to study surfzone vorticity and circulation patterns in the shallow water of the surf zone. The project will use high-resolution sensor data from prior field studies to test hypotheses about how factors like seafloor bathymetry, wave directionality, and strong alongshore currents influence the generation and spatial scales...
This $893,081 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project to transform the understanding of how coastlines respond to changes in storm climate patterns and sea-level rise. The project will develop new techniques to downscale global climate model outputs to produce forecasts of the waves and winds affecting specific coastlines, which will then drive models addressing coastline shape and position...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $568,531 Project Grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to study recirculating flows and eddies in the nearshore surf zone. The 3-year grant under NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will use mathematical models, available measurements, and artificial intelligence to explore three hypotheses related to surfzone eddy dynamics and their connection to wave properties, energy dissipation, and exchange...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $906,682 Project Grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for research related to wave- and wind-driven flows near beaches. The three-year award, issued on March 15, 2021 with a completion date of February 29, 2024, will support the Institution's work examining fundamental knowledge and increased understanding of integrated earth system processes through basic research of atmospheric, earth, and...
