This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $284,446 to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington (UNCW) to conduct collaborative research on the potential collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and its implications for climate change. The study will scrutinize recent predictions that such a collapse could occur in the mid-21st century, comparing statistical indices and simplified theoretical models to...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $952,374 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to conduct research on changes in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) during the last deglaciation. The project aims to quantify AMOC changes by combining data from deep-sea sediments, deep-sea corals, and computer models of ocean circulation. The research will yield insights into the processes leading to rapid...
This is a Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) in the amount of $202,000. The grant funds research to study the effect of carbon dioxide (CO2) ramping rate on the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and its coupled climate implications. The project aims to investigate the physical mechanisms that drive the pace and magnitude of AMOC weakening and the subsequent impacts on North Atlantic regional climate. The research,...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $771,667 Project Grant under its Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, doing business as Columbia University. The grant, which runs from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027, will support a research project to reconstruct deep ocean circulation in the North Atlantic during the last ice age climate cycle. The project will generate high-quality, high-resolution paleoceanographic data, including...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Geosciences awarded this $406,911 Project Grant to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to develop methods for enhancing spatiotemporal monitoring of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). The key objectives are to: 1) Design and implement a framework for reconstruction of AMOC from indirect observations, 2) Extend historical AMOC records using machine learning...
The National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded Yale University a $323,795 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research quantifying global and regional impacts of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation slowdown from 2021 to 2024. The grant supports collaborative research to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, Yale...
The Regents of the University of California at Riverside received a $325k project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences on July 15, 2021 to conduct collaborative research quantifying the global and regional impacts of the slowdown in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation through June 30, 2024. The research aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system by expanding fundamental knowledge of the impacts of...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) is focused on advancing the understanding of mesoscale air-sea coupling and its impact on climate variability over the Southern Ocean. The $579,603 award to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee will support a collaborative research effort to investigate how atmosphere-ocean interactions on the mesoscale (100-1000 km) influence long-term, large-scale climate patterns in the region. The...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $256,224 Project Grant to Texas A&M University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2025. The grant funds research to examine how northward flowing water masses are modified in the tropical Atlantic Ocean before reaching the North Atlantic through advecting Lagrangian particles and tracers for 60 years in two versions of the MOM6 global ocean model. The research aims to provide...
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...
