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 of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) on coastal areas of the UK and Ireland over the next 30 years. The research aims to address key knowledge gaps at the interface between the deep ocean and continental shelf, with findings expected to have significant impact on sea level research and inform coastal communities on adaptation strategies. The project will support the training and career development of a postdoctoral researcher at FSU.
