This Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), funds a collaborative research study to investigate the potential collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and its implications for climate change. The $399,211 award to the University of Wisconsin-Madison covers a 3-year project period from February 1, 2024 to January 31, 2027. The research aims to compare statistical climate indices, simplified theoretical models, and...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York provides $771,667 to support a research project titled "Reconstructing Deep Ocean Circulation in the North Atlantic through the Last Ice-Age Climate Cycle". The project aims to leverage high-quality deep-sea sediment cores to examine evidence of past ocean circulation behavior and its connection to climate change. Key...
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...
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 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 (NSF) awarded a $196,306 Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Wisconsin - Madison to conduct research on how the Mid-Atlantic Ridge impacts the ocean and climate. The 5-year project, beginning on May 1, 2024, will explore how the removal of this key topographic feature affects the North Atlantic Ocean's circulation and climate patterns globally. The study aims to inform climate model development and reduce biases, as...
This $358,499 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research to understand the impact of warming on the structure and function of marine communities in the Northwest Atlantic Shelf region, including the Gulf of Maine and Mid-Atlantic Bight. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, through its Office of Sponsored Research, will characterize the composition and features of plankton and fish...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $799,904 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to study the role of varying ocean circulations in climate change from May 1, 2023 to April 30, 2028. The award will support research using an ensemble-overriding method with multiple climate models to quantify the effects of wind- and buoyancy-driven ocean circulation changes under various anthropogenic forcings. The work will...
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 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...
