Project Grant 2400433
- 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...
- 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 $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...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $546,989 Project Grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, operating through its Sponsored Projects Administration Division, under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program. The grant supports collaborative research to understand the non-linear and feedback mechanisms in the atmospheric circulation response to increased carbon dioxide (CO2) levels. The research aims to address the limited understanding of how warming-induced...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $306,943 Project Grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York Sponsored Projects Administration Division under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) from June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2026. The grant will support a collaborative research project to conduct a global census of submesoscale energetics using in-situ drifter observations and a high-resolution ocean model. Specifically, Columbia...
- 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 Project Grant award for $540,281 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project between U.S. and U.K. scientists to better understand the linkages between the oceanic cycles of iron and carbon. The research aims to characterize the "colloidal shunt" mechanism, whereby dissolved iron forms aggregates with organic carbon to create particulate matter that sinks out of the upper water column. The project will...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award, titled "Collaborative Research: NSF-GEO-DFG-BSF—The Contribution of Coastal Systems to the Atmospheric Carbonyl Sulfide Budget Using Tower-Based Fluxes, Isotopic Measurements and Modeling," will provide $705,728 from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2028 to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York. The project involves a multi-faceted analysis of marine carbonyl sulfide emissions, a...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $626,292 to the University of Maryland, College Park to investigate the patterns of carbon outgassing in the Southern Ocean and its connection to the three-dimensional meridional overturning pathways. The project will use a biogeochemical model that assimilates observational data to construct a carbon budget and analyze localized carbon outgassing near seafloor bathymetric features. This...
- This $284,622 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to advance the calibration of a carbonate ion proxy method for estimating past seawater carbonate ion concentrations. The research aims to determine the relative importance of biological processes and sea level changes as factors contributing to past atmospheric CO2 variability, as evidenced by ice core data. The project will involve training and mentoring...
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 variability on decadal timescales. This work is expected to redefine the understanding of the North Atlantic carbon system and its role in global carbon sequestration. The project will also support education and outreach efforts to promote underrepresented groups in ocean science. No sub-awards are planned under this grant, which has an award date of February 1, 2024 and an ultimate completion date of January 31, 2027.
