This $440,044 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences aims to improve understanding of the role of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) in driving variability in the North Atlantic carbon sink. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) will lead a collaborative research project with partners in the US and UK to 1) estimate carbon uptake, transport, and storage in the North Atlantic using new data and numerical...
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...
This $771,667 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a research project titled "Reconstructing Deep Ocean Circulation in the North Atlantic Through the Last Ice-Age Climate Cycle." The project, led by The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, is designed to examine evidence of past ocean circulation patterns and their connection to climate change. It will leverage deep-sea sediment cores to generate...
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...
This $562,895 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to better understand the linkages between the oceanic cycles of iron and organic carbon. The research, conducted by a team of U.S. and U.K. scientists, aims to characterize the "colloidal shunt" mechanism whereby dissolved iron forms aggregates with organic matter, resulting in the vertical export of both particulate iron and organic...
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 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...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) in the amount of $202,000 supports research to investigate the effect of carbon dioxide (CO2) ramping rate on the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and associated climate implications.
The project aims to examine how the rate of CO2 increase impacts the weakening and potential collapse of the AMOC, which is a key driver of heat transport and climate in the North Atlantic...
The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, operating through its Sponsored Projects Administration Division, was awarded a $374,717 project grant by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program. The grant, titled "NSFGEO-NERC: Collaborative Research: Role of the Overturning Circulation in Carbon Accumulation (ROCCA)," aims to utilize long-term observations across the North Atlantic basin to quantify carbon uptake, carbon transport, and their...
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...
